There is in the land a wide swath of people who, for some reason or another, really hold Trump in disgust, distaste, distrust, or otherwise have a view that could be described as “hate.” It seems that they might be divided into three separate groups.
First, there are those who are put off by what they perceive to be distasteful, disgusting or offensive behavior such as grabbing female parts or assaulting a woman in a dressing room or using unbecoming language. These people are those small-minded folks that will hold to their opinions regardless of the evidence and who give no weight to more important considerations such as economic health of the country or its security.
Also, there is the very formidable group of individuals who are part of what might be called the Establishment Elite. These are the folks who are and have been playing the long-established game of D.C. movers and shakers in which it’s “I’ll-scratch-your-back-and-you-scratch-mine-and-we’ll-all-get-rich.” The game allows participants to stake out certain philosophical or political positions and crusade for them all the while “crusading” for the funding of their warchest to finance their next election campaign and for the building up of their net worth. Mitch McConnell and Nancy Palosi are good examples of the Establishment Elite.
Third, there are the individuals who move and operate on a much larger scale — globally. Think the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, the George Soros ilk, multinational investment management firms such as BlackRock, Vanguard or State Street. These seem to favor globalism which is, under Trump, more and more a thing of the past in the face of his movement toward an “America first” stance on the world stage.
For 80 years since the end of World War II, the United States has guaranteed to the world freedom of navigation — a key factor which allowed for the unprecedented burst of prosperity on the global scale. With the U.S. pulling back from this traditional role (if it does) and exposing trading nations to experience unknown and unpredictable situations, the financial implications are immense. So, it’s fairly obvious to see for the motivation these forces would have to shut Trump down.
All these forces, both domestic and international, have been happily going along and doing their thing with everyone occupying the White House seemingly knowing his place and conforming well to the “system.” Then, here comes a man unfettered by existing relationships or political debts whose sole motive, it seems, is to straighten out the mess that comprises the federal government. Owing nothing to the past and free to reimagine, he seems to be trying to conform the government to a business model that might actually make sense. We who wish him well in this enterprise are not at all surprised by the resistance he and his Cabinet members are experiencing. Between here and where Trump wants to take us there is a lot of uncomfortable adjusting and re-acclimating to take place. For certain individuals or groups there will be financial pain or personal discomfort. Will the result be worth the ride? Many of us think so.
Also, many of us think of Trump as a fine individual, compassionate, congenial, unbelievably energetic, intelligent on a scale unmatched and a man who, far from going to Washington to get rich like most of the politicians there, was already rich far beyond anything most of the rest of us could imagine but who nevertheless undertook, at great personal risk, this gargantuan task. We wish him well.
