Get ready for the first shocks of Trump's "Disaster Capitalism"

We already know that the Trump administration plans to deregulate markets, wage all-out war on “radical Islamic terrorism,” trash climate science and unleash a fossil-fuel frenzy. It’s a vision that can be counted on to generate a tsunami of crises and shocks: economic shocks, as market bubbles burst; security shocks, as blowback from foreign belligerence comes home; weather shocks, as our climate is further destabilized; and industrial shocks, as oil pipelines spill and rigs collapse, which they tend to do, especially when enjoying light-touch regulation.

every fuck up gives them opportunity
add in climate change, economy, war, etc and they have a LOT of opportunities
add in trump (a walking major fuck up) and it's even more obvious why the GOP likes him
