Geez, just imagine if Trump never got elected. No protests due to Trump's emboldenment of the bigots and supremacists, no declaration that Putin is a nice guy we that should get cozy with, no hiding of the Russian Connection necessary, no filling of cabinet positions with folks that are intent on disassembling/gutting their departments and agencies so as to get them out of the way of the very wealthy, no threat to the ACA, Medicare and Social Security, no hilarious/disastrous vaudeville-keystone cops jukes, cover ups and diversions from Trump making stupid off the cuff remarks, threats and accusations and so much more.....
And to think that sometime in the future these days will become "the good 'ol days" for some folks when a president stood up for and supported ALL Americans, especially the ones that finally feel free to openly spread hatred, fear and contempt for their fellow citizens due to the "not looking like me/not born here like me" syndrome they got infected with somewhere in their upbringing. That Trump openly curried favor with folks like that in order to win/keep his presidency is something that is now added to the "new normal" category that he has set a precedent to.
All in all, he is just an arrogant bully of a businessman who has branded himself a deal maker/breaker that just so happens to have gotten elected POTUS. His first orders of business have seen him and his GOP cohorts unabashedly exploiting his/their elective offices so as to enrich themselves and their ilk ever higher, although it's not as if the GOP haven't been doing this for decades on end, it's just that Trump has been very open and shameless about the way he's been doing it. He really doesn't care what ANYONE thinks about his bald faced attempts at pleasing himself and his fellow billionaires first and foremost, well, except when another election cycle comes around. Then it's off to making more false promises and firing up the 'ol Fakery Factory again.
He's even got his supporters siding with him on his opinion that we should consider Putin and his fellow Russian oligarchs folks that we could put our trust in. How's that for a sudden change of heart when previous to his ascension his predecessor was constantly accused of being a commie loving socialist. But then the Russians aren't "commies" anymore now that Trump has insinuated otherwise, right?
The one good thing that's coming from his being POTUS is that he is exposing himself and the GOP's agenda toward favoring the very wealthy's wishes and demands without any doubt or plausible deniability, a heretofore task that was previously couched in flowery deceptive language and deeds.
