Like the corporate executives, who need their salaries (at 200x what their average worker makes). And don't forget the shareholders, who need an obscene return on their investment (in order to continue racking up their high scores... er, bank accounts).

Those are the people who really matter to Trump and those who think like him. The children of today who will suffer in a fucked-up world of tomorrow? Pfffft, sucks to be them. Their children and grandchildren, who will have things even worse? What is the future of humanity against purchasing your second yacht, or super-yacht? You gotta have priorities.

The short-sighted avarice of the few will be the destruction of the many. But hey, they'll be dead by then, so why should they care?
