But fear is beginning to set in, because Trump is making some moves that are difficult to defend, and tough to accept. For starters, why is he giving so much power to someone like Steve Bannon, while at the same time taking it away from other, more established, more knowledgeable people? Who is really going to run the White House? Whose policies are going to be established? Is there going to be any such thing as consensus anymore? What plans does Trump really have down the line?
It's becoming increasingly difficult not to think of Trump as wanting to turn democracy on its head, and turn the U.S. into something else. We all know Trump has an outsized ego. That he doesn't take kindly to disagreement, nor criticism. Is he REALLY after what is good for the country? Or is he drunk with power and wants nothing more than to have pyramids built in his name? This shit is really starting to become worrisome, even to those who have been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
WTF is going on... and are people going to be able to react in case things begin to go south really, really quick?
