While half of America experiences deep, anguished mourning over the unexpected election of Donald Trump, it looks like the other reality-star worshipping half are coming to the realization that they probably should have read the fine print before they rushed into the "get-rich-quick" deal. The well-heeled of Wall Street are looking forward to a huge four years while the rest of America will be scraping together couch change to pay for their medicine and put groceries on the table.
That's what happens to losers like the middle-class and the poor. Maybe, they should have gotten into the real estate game and then they could afford to "pay to play", too.
The Republican-controlled Congress gets it. That's why they just killed a bill to help veterans because they're chomping at the bit to lower taxes on the wealthy because that's a Trump priority. C'mon it takes money if you're going to "pay to play". Besides, Trump already let John McCain know how he really feels about veterans.
He said he was going to "drain the swamp", but his billionaire cabinet has more wealth than a third of Americans combined.
