Let's make America great! Ok, how exactly are Republicans going to do this and what exactly are they going to do?
I'll help you with a few questions, post your own answers and add whatever you think is important. Pretty easy in 4 years to say "Oh yeah I knew that was going to happen" or "well obviously!".
Much harder to call it ahead of time though.
So:
Will they build the wall?
Will we see job growth under trump?
Will they indite Hillary Clinton?
What will the Dow Jones be in 4 years?
Will national debt expand faster under Trump with his policies?
What will the tax changes be? Will this add to the debt?
How will they fix medical insurance? Will costs go down? Will the changes add to the debt?
Illegals wont' be rounded up, they may deport a few token felon types and I'm for that but overall nothing will change.
They will never indite Hillary.
Trump may try to Tariff some goods, it won't turn out well. Costs will rise and jobs won't return. Inflation will start to rise.
Down Jones will be within 2k points of 20k in 4 years.
National debt is going to expand much faster under Trump and the Republican congress. In fact we may even see a credit down grade as a result of their spending.
They will cut taxes, mostly top heavy and expand the child tax credit. They will reduce the impact of some itemized deductions but the math will by really fuzzy and rely on impossible projections of growth to pay for the cuts which will never materialize. This will greatly expand the debt and growth projections will be rosy.
Medical is going to be a CLUSTER F. They are going to push block grants and in a half ass way eliminate provisions of Obama Care. Overall medical costs will continue to rise and people will be pushed off the insurance rolls. Their changes will in fact cost tax payers and add to the debt while costs continue to rise and people fall off the insured rolls.
Overall I expect the first year to be somewhat hopeful and as time goes on we will edge closer and closer to recession. Inflation is going to flare up from Trump's trade policies, interest rates will rise, consumer sentiment will fall and inside of the second or third year we'll be in a full blown recession. They'll continue to push for tax cuts to stimulate, they won't work as they'll be top heavy as usual.
In the end, Trump will disrupt trade in a negative manner, causing a small trade war and resulting in much higher costs to the US consumer without any benefit of jobs. job growth is going to slow significantly. Debt is going to rise significantly. Dismantling obamacare will not save people money, costs will rise and millions will fall off the insured rolls.
I predict there will be 4 years of constant whining, fussing and carrying on about something that is out of their control.
Otherwise I have no predictions, I am going to see what happens as the days pass.
Some people will enjoy the next four years, and will work hard at helping trump meet his goals.
Some people will moan and cry for the next four years, and will do all they can to be obstructionist.
Some people just won't care, so long as the political elites leave them alone to live out their lives in peace.
I find myself to be in the third category, most of the time.

Why should anyone work hard for a man who has never done a hard day's work?

Despite what they say publicly, my prediction is that the democrats will work with Trump to get things done in a bipartisan fashion. Nutjobs like Lindsey Graham and Elizabeth Warren will try to derail the Trump agenda, but will fail miserably.
