Some estimates suggest Silicon Valley donated to Hillary Clinton 60 times what was given to her rival, now president-elect Donald Trump. And it’s easy to see why most major technologists—Peter Thiel excluded—preemptively favored the prospect of a Clinton presidency, writes Andrea O’Sullivan. Clinton has decades of government experience, tailored technology platform, and close relationships with Silicon Valley executives.
But technology policy does not have to be a partisan battlefield, argues O’Sullivan. If Trump is serious about “Making America Great Again,” one of his first priorities should be to implement policies that will make America innovate again. As a businessman, Trump was notorious for taking big risks and reaping big rewards. As a president, he should allow and encourage the rest of America to do the same.
