RE:The odds of getting killed by a terrorist are so low that it's laughable and it's not logic. Depends on location. Syria had a population of around 20 million before their civil war, in which 500,000 were killed. So your chances of being killed by terrorist forces there, were actually pretty high.

Let's backup a little. Bush used terrorism color codes to keep Americans terrified. Obama takes office and ends the codes and I can't see anything suggesting anyone noticed. Clearly this is not normal. One nut scares people with terrorism and then President Obama returns things back to normal. The idea that giving tax cuts to donors somehow makes Trump the guy for the working class has always seemed a bit far fetched for me. I'm not saying it won't happen, it could and might, but not for the reasons you give. The media needs ratings and Trump gives them ratings. He's in the news 24/7 and no one can complete with him. The economy is on the brink of a recession and Americans by huge majorities now think we're headed into a recession. The only thing Trump had going for him was the Obama boom but now less than half of voters give him passing grades on the economy. 60% think a recession is coming in 2020. The gop always has one major advantage. They can cut taxes for the rich and pretend the resulting debt is "pro business" and the media repeats their lies endlessly. But spend a penny on the middle class and it's called socialism.
