The problem is that Trump has no experience in governing and no experience in policy. He will be surrounded by conservative Republican experts and guided by them. See Reagan, who had a lot more experience than Trump and also started out as a Democrat. I suspect few, if any, of Trump's "progressive" ideas will survive to become laws. On the bright side, I suspect by midterm Trump's policies will create conditions that will heavily favor a Democratic takeover of Congress. A probable recession after the midterms will pave the way for a complete Democratic takeover in 2020. However, we will be stuck with a conservative Supreme Court for the foreseeable future.

The only positive thing is he wants to do infrastructure spending, but has no plan to pay for it since he's also cutting taxes. He'll pay for it the same way Reagan paid for his tax cuts--with the "magic asterisk" of growth. His tax cuts and infrastructure spending will generate so much growth it will make our heads spin. Five percent, six percent--we'll be winners again as we Make America Great Again!
