We now can now clearly see that we are living in a plutocracy, literally. Trumpf for all his fake populism has no intention of ruling as anything other than what he really is an Oligarch. By the time this guy and his wrecking crew are done in DC everything of value they can haul off will be gone and they'll leave the rest of us an enormous bill. Like with GWBV$H the fools that elected him won't even be able to remember his name in 10 yrs. because they'll be too busy complaining about the next President a D elected to clean up the unbelievable mess this guy and his vandals are about to create. Long gone will be any concerns about Hillary's emails and the Clinton foundation. People will be however deeply involved in trying to pay for ever escalating food, water, and medical bills in a now very rapidly deteriorating environment. All this while fighting several major and minor wars one of them in Mexico.

You nailed it there - hauling off anything of value while the duped and non duped alike are left footing the bill in a deteriorating economic and natural environment. My guess is that Trump will need a good solid war in the next 12 to 24 months in order to provide a better cover for his 'failure' to produce on his promises. Then we'll be faced with supporting the troops or having our patriotism questioned and apparently if Trump has his way - having our citizenship revoked if we don't play nice nice. I think we've got ourselves a wartime president in Trump. He'll fill the role well, mocking the enemy, cheer leading, and rallying the patriots.
