But this is called deception, which is exactly what the American people have been the victim of for 40 years now. Deception is all it is. Trump IS a key member of the Establishment, and that's all he is, whereas Hillary was the rebel girl. But, many voters did not correctly see this fact; that's true.

Maybe Trump will start to change his tune. He is making noises about breaking up the banks and restoring Glass-Steagall. I don't think he has a clue about how to proceed yet, though. He's good at making noise. All he seems capable of so far, however, is issuing executive orders that benefit the wealthy few and hurt the people, as well as turn different groups against one another.

Understand this: Trump is in way over his head.  Anytime that occurs in a critical position, and POTUS is about as critical as they come, bizarre things are going to happen.  Trump had no idea what he was going to face in this job, and its starting to show.  I should also note that Hillary would have been a disaster too, just not on this scale.  Her problem is Trump's opposite: she's insular and cautious, even though somethings have to be addressed with less than perfect knowledge.  So the choice was too much and too random versus too little and too slow.
