I don't see it that way at all. Trump is not responsible for what has taken place here, as fun as it is to blame him. I see him as someone who is trying to undo a lot of the problems and fix them but he has no support from either the Democrats or the Republicans because both sides are vested in continuing the slave plantation that we have here in service of the ultra .01%. In Trump, we have a guy who is part of the system who has rebelled from it because he no longer could live with what he saw it doing and what he knwos it to be. He deserves a little bit of sympathy and the American people deserve credit for finally waking up to what is going on. It's going to take more than one guy to fix this, though. I don't hold out a lot of hope. It is what it is now--we're headed for third world style living, and let's be honest--a large number of Americans are already living in third world squalor. It's not "heading" it's here.

Trump isn't interested in actually fixing things, and I don't know what evidence has led you believe he is.

When politicians keep their campaign promises, that is democracy working properly.

President Trump is keeping his campaign promises to reform lobbying[1], cracking down on illegal immigration[2], cracking down on ISIS[3], and he's making America no longer be the world's police officer[4].

What constitutes third world squalor? Not many Americans are starving, having to make do without indoor plumbing, or spending 12 hours per day collecting firewood.

Millions of Americans are homeless or leave in crapy trailers and ghettos, even more eat with food stamps, and even more can't afford health care.

Heck, the U.S. "Has The Worst Rate Of Maternal Deaths In The Developed World"...
