The strongest resistance should come from the white working class; they will soon find out that Trump will treat them the same way he treated the suckers who signed up for his fraudulent university. When steel mills fail to return to Youngstown, or when new trade deals produce no more magic than the old ones, these economic exiles will wonder how they got betrayed. Look to the euphoria of soon-to-be deregulated Wall Street bankers for your explanation.

It's never going to happen quite that way. Drumpf voters are just like abused housewives. They'll stand by their man even after he beats and beats and beats them and us near to death. Even then They'll moan about how he will change if I'm just better or nicer etc. Germans stood in the ruins of their country and wept openly when the news was announced that AHitler had taken his own life. Don't count on these people to ever leave Herr Drumpf's side . It isn't going to happen folks.
Not sure, there's already some Trumpsters rumbling because Trump is making comments that suggest his main issues are not etched in stone - the wall, the deportations, the elimination of Obamacare. I think these guys will turn on him when nothing happens, and nothing is what will happen. The white blue collar workers in the rust belt will be rustier and poorer in 4 years, guaranteed. Trump's talking the talk, but he's got nothing in the gas tank. We know this already.
