Trump is an inside job. In the future there will be a majority ruling party that will host the various courts of lobbyists and campaign donors, and a rump opposition party of loud-mouth Archie Bunkers who ensure the political narrative always benefits the bottom line of multinationals. Eventually the federal government will start a fire sale on its assets (since raising taxes is a non starter), and the USA will be more or less defunct. Dow, Google, Exxon, Raytheon, Microsoft- these are the nations of the world today.
