Draining the swamp has an awfully appealing ring to it. So does undoing the plot of the global elites. As I peruse the internet and read the likes of Alex Jones, The Vigilant Citizen and Paul Craig Roberts et al. I see the barely contained disbelief that a candidate they actually supported won.
The anti-establishment candidate.
The hope and change candidate.
Surely striking a blow against globalism, elitism and the rest of the isms must feel good. Trump does still present enormous downside risk however. Rarely is it as cut and dry as everything said about him during the campaign was wrong. There was , must have been some virtue in his opponents campaign.
Temperament may truly be a concern.
Things could still turn out to not go so well with an emboldened Russia. Its not to difficult to imagine two "tough guys" falling out with one another very quickly.
Lacking a non white face in leadership (majority or minority) positions in all branches of government in tandem with forced deportations will not make for pleasant television watching.
An act of terrorism could draw a loosely calibrated military response or force Trumps hand on an Islamic crackdown.
An extended energy supply shock (oil or electricity), medical pandemic or a natural disaster could test his management skills.
Perhaps the worst case scenario is that he expire shortly (and of course even long) into his tenure. Trumps' political movement and support in government is personified by he alone. The vice president appears to be as mainstream as they come and clearly not of the same mold and inclination to drain any swamps. Without Trump as a counterbalance the republican establishment would have free reign upon the United States of America because of their control of all branches of government. Trump ran counter to many of these policies. That he will be the oldest person to ever hold the office and is found of fast food does not inspire confidence on the health front.
