11. My fear is that no one will ever trust government again.

Oct 2017

Given the epic levels of corruption in this administration. Even if a good person is the next president, it will be a long time before anyone will ever trust the EPA or FEMA or Interior again. Someone will have to root out every single Trump appointee or hire and that may be difficult.

I think Congress needs to pass anti-corruption legislation: require the president and all his cabinet to disclose their finances and sever ties with their businesses. At bare minimum. Turn some previous norms into actual laws.
