People are afraid of trump for many reasons. Some fear he will start a war. He might start a trade war. Etc.
Those things may happen but this threat will happen. Trickle down economics. Trump wants massive deregulation and it will happen. Trump does not care about oversight. He will get giants tax cuts for the rich and corporations.
People like trump are simple minded and short sighted.They believe regulations hurt them. They don't see it as protection.
I believe one of the main reasons trump ran for president was because of regulations. He wants to deregulate the real estate market which means you have to deregulate the banks. They are tied together.
The tax cuts will throw our economy more out of balance. The deregulation and lack of oversight will lead to corruption and economic collapse. How many times do we have to watch this movie.
I believe the next 4 years will been of the most corrupt periods economic wise we have ever seen.

Remember James Watt's "Trees create more carbon dioxide than cars"? Oh, this time it's going to be nasty and we'll long for the good ole days of Iran/Contra and Edwin Meese.
