"the scofflaw in him, his repudiation of institutions and norms and even the law. His supporters, for whatever reason, don't find that effect a negative in him let alone a fatal flaw as do the rest of us." You should understand that slightly more than half the country do not see Trump as a scofflaw. We see him as a person who is committed to and potentially can solve the problems of an out-of-control government which is being destroyed rapidly by subversive interests. It doesn't need to be that way. But the subversives are deeply embedded in the DC culture and will fight hard to maintain its flow of financial strength from the authority they have taken to usurp billions of dollars. At a time when American workers will be automated out of existence (over the coming 20 years), the subversives will arrange to use government for their own enrichment. And, I believe Trump, if anyone can, has the will to go up against these people. Call it the "Deep State" or whatever, it is real and its interests are not the same as ours. There is no reason to keep this hulk around, and there is no reason our government can't be reduced to 1/3 of its current size, realizing there will have to be some increase in burden on state governments. But this is where some of these burdens should have been forever. I'm sure top of the list should the elimination altogether of the Dept of Education, and avoiding further capital spending by USPS and shutting down the NLRB as an extra-legal entity. There is no reason we need thousands of employees at IRS and other support agencies. Maybe none of this gets done. But we know Kam is not going to do any of it.
