I should have answered differently though. Trumps followers will probably ditch him after a recession of any kind (coming momentarily). He will try to blame it on Obama or China, but he’s also owned every tick up in the markets for a year now. He’s going to regret that dearly.
Trump is an implement to me, he has already served a great deal of his purpose. How can you not like a guy that defeats both the Bush and Clinton Clans ?
He will be like most Presidents. Pros/Cons and a bunch of muddling stuff in the middle.
I no longer worry that Trump might be an imbecile. In fact, I'm more concerned his regressive 1%er policies, like privatizing infrastructure, will get implemented. The "Tax Reform" that did nothing but eliminate the Inheritance Tax is another example. (Remember, the personal tax rates revert back after a few years but the Inheritance Tax repeal is forever.) I'm glad The Collapse is going to happen on his watch.
Did nothing...
There's a walking path cutting across the entire UT campus.
When I came here last year for orientation, one side was fenced off to be redone.
When I started class in fall, the other half was fenced off being redone.
This semester, the side I was walking on last summer is fenced off again, being redone.
It didn't even last one year. Infinite public sector jobs program wasting tax payer money for a walking path.
It isn't even wholly unwarranted. The bricks they laid last summer look like shit now. It's like they're made of sandstone.
Public infrastructure is a joke. Privatize it.
