There’s a part of me that’s still thinking, “Maybe things won’t be as bad as we think. Maybe Trump will surprise us and the next four years won’t be as bad as his previous four.” I still dare to hold out for that possibility, even as I see the caliber of Cabinet picks and that the House and Senate are now both red…
Who am I kidding?
This is gonna be a slog, folks. It’s gonna get noisy and ugly, because Trump is getting older and all he wants is to tend to his grievances and work on his enemies list. He’s a patsy, he’s a child, he’s putty in The Heritage Foundation’s hands, among others, and unless a bunch of people find ways to stand up to this machine, America is going to be rendered unrecognizable. We’ve gone and given permission to a guy whose overriding goal in life is to get even.
Oh, and that stock market bump will be a short-lived phenomenon.
Kudos, America.
