The economic numbers are great... for the billionaires and those with money.

But keep in mind that as dark as it is... it's just going to get darker.

Your friend paying for affordable care? It's only because of McCain that Trump didn't kill it the first time around. And without a plan to replace it.

Trump's deportation plans will get rid of millions of people who do most of the actual work in the US. Hard work that no one else wants to do for the wages offered.

He might not do that. After all, he lies and basically said anything he needed to say in order to get reelected and get his get-out-of-jail-free card.

But if he does, then when food prices start climbing again and restaurants and small businesses start closing and construction ceases.... and then when you start adding 20-60% tariffs on imported clothes and food and goods... and when slashes in government spending trigger layoffs among teachers, police, and essential services... and then when they kill the ACA and cut SS and Medicare and even more people are broke and homeless....

When the economy collapses.... that's when it's going to get dark.

But don't worry. Our billionaires--including Donald--will make out just fine. In fact, they'll be able to use their money to snatch up even more of the nation's property and wealth, at bargain basement rates.
