In all the chaos the american people, the press have ignored a real threat that will happen.

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.

In many ways Trump is just running cover for the extreme RWers in Congress. I'm convinced Trump has no ideology beyond lining his own pockets. HDGAF about much other than personal profit and "prestige."

They are weeks behind in disclosure of the reports that have been released/leaked.

We ain't seen nothing yet!

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.

In red states they are going to be screwed over. I see an increase in asthma , heart problems and water poisonings. They got what they voted for.

But since the banking regulations protecting consumers are going to be thrown out I am probably just going to sell now.

There's also some things Trump will probably try on his own that doesn't really require Congressional help -- e.g., increased deportations, banning Muslims, etc.
