The first profession listed was "accounting", yet you don't seem to have any concerns about accounting or accountants. I think the first step towards rebuilding trust in the institutions that have been destroyed is to be specific about the problems and their solutions, rather than laughing at the idea that anyone in any industry could be good in 2026 America. Indeed, as you touched on, this whole thing is Trump's schtick; his supporters are so willing to excuse his misdeeds because they've come to believe that everything everywhere in the US is corrupt and unworthy of respect.

Yes, and his WHOLE THING that got him elected was that he was going to "fix it".

He got a lot of independents too.

The problem, or perceived problem, predates Trump and will not end when he is gone.
