(50,642 posts)He's promised huge tax cuts to the rich, small tax cuts to the middle class and nothing for the poor.
He wants to cut government spending drastically, which means people out of work and inefficiencies throughout the economy as approvals and registrations are delayed and benefits cut which means less stimulus to the economy.

Most of those mega rich donors didn't contribute to his campaign, so he doesn't appear to owe them anything in the traditional way a "contributor" would buy off a politician. But his past life as a rich asshole may hold sway. We'll see.
