Ultimately Trump is the real Chump

His ego will not allow him to listen to anyone who is not kissing his gold plated ass.
He is surrounded by sycophants will agendas beyond his comprehension.
He has absolutely no idea how to do the job of the Presidency and is relying on those he surrounds himself with.
Problem is he can not accept advice from anyone who is honest.
We are totally in the hands of extremists who have figured out how to play the Trump.

and have a Republican Congress. If anyone's not really, really scared about that, they should actually think about what could happen in the next four years.

Trump is going to run a closed government, instead of one that is open to the press. He will simply not publicly release what he is up to, and most people will have no idea what is going on.

He's going to act as though he is the King, not the President of a nation with checks and balances. In fact, once he gets his first SCOTUS justice in place, there will actually be no checks and balances any longer. He will have control of all three branches of government, something I have warned about throughout the presidential campaign.

Most people have no idea what he will be able to do, with Congress and SCOTUS on his side. We run a high risk of being "royally" screwed.

He will be making millions from all sorts of conflicts of interest. His trips will be to run his little empire whilst pretending to be on Pres business.


I hate to think about how they will attack voting rights and limiting election times / early voting etc

The GOP will likely conform to his every dictate as they are merely subservient to power mongers.
