Probably not. But I'm hopeful. The things he promised to do, like bringing back manufacturing jobs and reversing falling labor force participation among prime working age males, these things have been happening for decades. No president since Kennedy has been able to stop these forces.
Generally speaking it's a good idea to take campaign slogans of any political party with a healthy dose of skepticism. Most of it is just empty rhetoric and nonsense. In most cases be prepared to be disappointed.

They're so blinded by their hurt that that dont realize ( or don't care) that a failure of the Trump administration ( or a Clinton administration had she won) would be to the detriment of ALL of us as well as our country.
WTF? Wake up Americans!
Wrong.
Trump actually succeeding in the sense that he turns his insane, half-baked ideas into actual policy would be a completely disaster.
Trump needs to fail to achieve most of what he promised if we want to still have a United States to make great after his four year reign of reactionary, ill-informed idiocy and incessant ego stroking is over.
The Rust Belt and Appalachian coal country expect him to bring to back factory jobs that provide a high salary, generous benefits and don't require anything more than a high school diploma as he promised during his campaign. If he doesn't deliver on this promise, the working class people in these areas will not be happy.
Back when these folks were working those high-salary, generous-benefit jobs, demand for coal and steel was high and the United Mine Workers, Steelworkers' union, etc. were a force to be reckoned with.
Neither is the case now.
Bringing back those high-salary, generous-benefit jobs for those with high school diplomas would be a miracle.
From what I've read, Trump is far more likely to run an operation into the ground than reinvigorate it. Unless Trump can get talk the Russians into dumping some big bucks into the area, I think the chances of these folks being happy are on the slim side.

America has always been great. I wish Trump understood it.
Arbenz was elected President of Guatemala in 1950 to continue a process of socio- economic reforms that the CIA disdainfully refers to in its memoranda as "an intensely nationalistic program of progress colored by the touchy, anti-foreign inferiority complex of the 'Banana Republic.'" The first CIA effort to overthrow the Guatemalan president--a CIA collaboration with Nicaraguan dictator Anastacio Somoza to support a disgruntled general named Carlos Castillo Armas and codenamed Operation PBFORTUNE--was authorized by President Truman in 1952. As early as February of that year, CIA Headquarters began generating memos with subject titles such as "Guatemalan Communist Personel to be disposed of during Military Operations," outlining categories of persons to be neutralized "through Executive Action"--murder--or through imprisonment and exile. The "A" list of those to be assassinated contained 58 names--all of which the CIA has excised from the declassified documents.
So America tries to murder a head-of-State for building electric power generation plants that will compete with Chiquita, who has monopoly control over electric power in Guatemala.
Just 4 more days lads and lasses.... things should clarify then.
He could be good for the USA. I think that he is not so incompetent how most people think he is, he knows what he says. He knows how to get the voters on his side. I am certain he will not do things he promised like building the wall around Mexico or Walls around every Mosque. He is a populist. And a smart one.
He will only make it great for the 1%. The rest of us will just be left in the dust.

He's also a man who is not used to having to work with others.
He's also a man whose entire career is based on spending other people's money on breathtakingly stupid deals.
There's literally nothing in his past or from his campaign or from how he's run his transition or from who he's picked to head up agencies to suggest he's anything other than an extremist, incompetent buffoon who won't listen to anyone and who constantly needs to be surrounded by yes men who will suck up to him.
