As divided as this country is, that's highly unlikely. And as Trump's blending of his personal business affairs with government initiatives, the potential for trouble will increase. Trump supporters don't seem to see the potential risk here.
They'll excuse anything he does, after all any dollar is a good dollar right? No matter whether he is feathering his nest at their expense or not. Trump has his followers eating out of his hand, they will grant ANY concession to their newly crowned king.
Yes, companies only care about the bottom line. But when goods are made overseas and imported here, they are cheaper for all us consumers than if they are made in the US. Just think of all the items we can buy cheaply from Walmart. If all these products were made here in the US, many people would have their old jobs back. However, every consumer in the US would pay more for those same goods. We all like the cheap prices. Are we all willing to pay more so that Joe down the block can have his job back...
That's the question. In four years, will Trump, having no excuses whatsoever, still be manufacturing overseas? Will every product be manufactured in the U.S. in keeping with jobs moving back to the Rust Belt? Or will the rationale be, yeah, we didn't get any jobs back but our goods are still cheap, thus nullifying the whole point but making Trump much much richer because, for example, in less than a month, two of his stalled foreign projects have suddenly moved forward.
Your last point explains it and is the down fall of your point! The Electoral College was design just so major cities do not dictate for the rest of the country.
Trump is surrounding himself with quality people and did not just his buddies or major donors. Just like Obama and Clinton has done for 8 years. Pay to Play!
Obama actually has defunded Medicare and moved the money over to Obama Care which is a total failure.
Trump would not of won if it was not for him reaching out to the common man and woman. HRC spent more time telling us that America is "Deplorable!
I wish that we all lived in a fact-based universe.

You get it yet or do I have to draw you a picture there cup cake?
Fewer voted for him than for her. We have an idea about what the rest of the country thinks due to opinion polling: Trump is polling at unprecedented negative ratings for a President-Elect.
It is painful to watch the president they love hated by the other half of the country. It is easier to attack than defend. When one is on the side that dislikes the man in office, they can just sit by and insult.
Trump supporters are rejoicing now but trust me, they will grow tired of how much the president they like is disliked by over half of the country. Over half. They will grow weary of defending him. And if he privatizes Medicare and Social Security, a lot of unpleasantness will likely follow; only time will tell. For those that think they will get rich with Social Security privatization and will then have no problem affording private insurance policies at 70, Enron employees thought they would be rich too.
The electoral college may elect the president, but it doesn't negate that a much larger portion of the country did not want Trump. They are reminded daily that a small number of rural voters had more power than entire metropolitan areas. Both areas may work and pay taxes but saying those large areas have less say is not going to wear well when Trump makes those inevitable mistakes.
lol you guys have to get come to grips with two things
1) You lost....and you lost "bigly" lol
2) you're wrong
I mean how difficult is it to just man up/woman up and just admit that you were wrong about everything?
My fear is Trump will get bored with this job. He will turn most of the work over to Pence who I don't trust. I think Pence can thank Trump for the revitalization of his relevancy...

I suspect that in the next 2, 3, or 4 years there will be another recession. I honestly think it won't be Trump's fault ... it happens regularly based on past historical cycles of booms and busts ... but Trump will be blamed.
The American public is fickle. Richard M. Nixon won in one of the biggest landslides, only to resign in disgrace a number of months later.
