Carl,
I doubt that the majority of professional politicians and the majority of
corporate CEO's and bankers, think they can work comfortably with Trump.
He's not a normal person. Perhaps they'll accommodate if he has enough power
behind him, but this is not a normal situation. Additionally, although there
are power elites who have tremendous influence, there are also differences
among our Presidents and among the people who are in each of their
administrations. The complexities are hidden when you talk as if that
formula in which the Left believes so fervently, the formula which says that
there's really no difference who wins the presidency because the ruling
class will rule anyway. The ruling class isn't monolithic. There's a
difference between the Koch brothers and George Soros. We can all see only
bits and pieces of the puzzle.

Well Bob, I agree that Donald Trump is not my president, but probably not
with as much fervor as you.
Because I believe that Donald Trump is the candidate of choice by the
Oligarchy, and all those who made the final cut in the Presidential Race
were representing the needs of the Oligarchy, including Bernie Sanders, then
I was bound to be outraged regardless of the winner.
Even Bernie Sanders, who came closest to fighting for the Working Class, had
dirty hands and a few skeletons in his attic closet.
Bernie did throw a good scare into the Establishment, and they had to resort
to dirty tricks to freeze him out.
Trump, despite the railing of the Media and many old line Republican
politicians, is a man the Empire can work with. In part, it is because
regardless of his claims otherwise, Trump is a long time member in good
standing with the Ruling Class.
Just look at the coverage he received during the "Race". There's an old
adage that goes, "There's no such thing as bad publicity". And Trump proved
it beyond a doubt. Some folks voted for him because they were sick of being
trick or treated by the Obama administration, some voted for him because
they really believed all the promises, and some voted for him because they
were drawn to this Bad Boy Mouthy, shoot from the hip, bigger than life
Media Creation.
But to the Oligarchy, it doesn't matter why folks voted for Trump.
With the appointments he is sending forward, it will be open season on the
treasury and the Working Class.
No, Donald Trump isn't my president, either. But he is president of the USA
Corporate Empire, and as such, we will need to suffer under his time in
office.

Hi all,other president before him.
AS I keep thinking about how Trump won the presidency, I keep
wondering how it is that a greedy, spoiled vicious child gets to be
the most powerful man in the world for the next four years or until he
is impeached. During the campaign, he got away with way more than any
Yesterday, Donna saw this on FaceBook, a most apt description of Trump:
T, Trashy
R, Racist
U, Unqualified
M, Misogynist
P, pig.
I always try to give the winner of presidential elections at least a
small chance to govern, but based upon his appointments, tweets and
other sordid actions, he deserves no chance at all.
I wish for you in the next four years pain, misery and strife at all
levels.
Hey there, Donald! You are not my fuckin president!
