1. Yes, do it - show them who's boss

2. The only question is how many deplorables will be hurt by it.

That is the ONLY consideration he is making.

If his base is hurt he may do it anyway because he can just blame the GOP and DNC and his base will buy it.

He can do anything, he could nuke NK right now, kill 5 million women and children, babies, and they would absolutely LOVE IT.

4. Trump does not care in the least about hurting his voters. Not. In. The. Least.

He's cutting infrastructure-money to the Appalachians because he cares about his voters.
He killed a study that was supposed to find out whether mountaintop-removal mining is bad for your health... because he cares about his voters.

This relationship is not about what Trump can give to his voters.
It's about what can they give to him.

Do you want to know why Trump fights for the people who love him? Because they love him.
Trump does not fight for the people who don't love him, even though he's supposed to be the President of all of the US.

3. That is right up his alley, he stiffs those he owes money to

so why not the US Gov, maybe he can make a deal to pay cents on the dollar, he IS the great deal-maker
