Trump turned on the spigot

There is no pivot from the campaign rhetoric to governance. Trump intends to do what he has promised. He will spare no one who gets in his way.

“The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country,” said Trump, who has never held public office. “While they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. 

“That all changes starting right here and right now because this moment is your moment, it belongs to you.”

There is one significant obstruction, and that is the US Constitution and body of law with accompanying the due process. As it is, the Republican-controlled Congress have their hands on the throttle too. A feeble Democratic minority stands in the way, too weak to even save the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Arts, much less the environment.

The only thing that will awaken Americans to what might be happening is when the outcomes affect them. Keep asking: Where are the jobs with upward mobility? Are we better off now?
