The Dow started out today almost 1,000 points up from last week despite the fact Donald Trump won the election. Most predicted a cataclysmic reaction from the U.S. markets ala Brexit. But for the most part, Brexit II in the U.S. primarily took place in Ohio, Michigan, Pennslyvania, and Wisconsin where angry white voters went for Donald Trump in this election. Otherwise, the rest of the Electoral College map was pretty much the same as in 2012.
I hate to tell these white people the truth, but here it is. Donald Trump could care less about you. He’s basically a New York Democrat who teeters in the middle on many issues. I find it hilarious some of these people view Paul Ryan as a ‘squish’, yet now somehow envision Trump as the visionary of the hard right.
Here’s Trump in January of 2016 talking about his ability to work with Pelosi, Reid, and/or Chuck Schumer. I’d pay far more attention to this dynamic than the protests which are currently going on this country regarding Trump’s win in the Electoral College. Again, there was no mandate. He lost the popular vote.
Here’s Trump on Morning Joe back in January. I love the parting shots he takes at Lyin’ Ted Cruz. That should be Trump’s starting statement with Schumer and Pelosi– “It could be worse, it could be Lyin’ Ted Cruz standing here instead.”
