How I hope he does well.
Not to put a damper on things, but I hope America does well in spite of him, and that he gets very little of what he wants to do. This man appears to me to be a slick demagogue of the kind that will use his fake popularity to make our country incapable of doing well economically or maintain our strength in the world. His policies seem to be the antithesis of what we need to do those things, so I will simply oppose them, and him.
If he changes his mind and isn't so crazy, maybe we'll get through this with our sanity, but I wouldn't bet on that yet.
I know. We seem to be headed toward dark places. I can’t bear thinking about it. Sorry if my optimism grates but I just can’t seem to wrap my mind around all of this.
