I just see all this celebrating for Trump's big plan falling apart, when he is stressing short term pain for long term gain. And all of his chaos now will be long forgotten when the 'gain' kicks in.

What is the plan for if and when this happens by Trump foes who don't want Fascism as the price they pay?
