3. I question the author's claims on what Trump supporter's "goals" are. The #1 goal is to dismantle the US government

to free money for billionaire tax cuts. And that is NOT "more productive uses." Nor is dehumanizing over half the US population and barring them from society and from fully participating in the economy and from any viable economic opportunities (women, LGBTQ people, people of color, etc).

THE REST of what was listed there is just the COVER they use to do it. In fact, "shrinking the federal government" so that the private sector can take over its functions, ie, privatization, will be a LOT less efficient, a LOT more wasteful, and a LOT more expensive than the government running those agencies. As for "realigning trade relationships", he is DESTROYING the best ones we have, and regarding bringing US manufacturing back, THAT will not happen on a large scale for GENERATIONS.

If they believe that Americans and their children and grandchildren should put up with ridiculously inflated prices on everything, a destroyed economy, recession or depression and the aftermath of it for GENERATIONS while they are unable to make ends meet, get healthcare, buy or rent homes, afford transportation, pay for college or retire, they are SADLY MISTAKEN.

That's some stankin, maggot-infested BULL SHIT.
