The terrifying things is; there's no way to reason with these people. I believe the working classes will turn on Trump, however, when they see that his jobs promises and those of greater wealth for all, are complete bullshit. With his cabinet picks, the division in wealth is only going to grow.

I don't think they will turn on him, that's the scary thing.
Trump is already in the process of setting up the rhetoric that the only reason things haven't gotten better isn't because of him, but because of those nasty liberals trying to stop him at every turn.
The scariest part about that is that it's a lie hidden within a truth, the democrats
will have been trying to block him at every turn from doing terrible things, so he'll be able to very easily spin it into maintaining and even increasing his support amongst the working classes.

Perhaps. But it is always good to remember that institutional racism and being rude to those who have enabled institutional racism are not equivalent crimes.

BBC wrote:On 7 February Donald Trump tweeted that it was a "disgrace" that he did not have his full cabinet of top-level presidential appointments confirmed by the US Senate. He called it the "longest such delay in the history of our country" and blamed it on Democratic obstruction.
Is that true?
Is it strawberry float.

It took Obama until April, with large majorities in both houses, to get his cabinet in place. Bush took until sometimes in March.
Trump making gooseberry fool up, like usual.

He thinks he knows all about being in the military because he went to boarding school.
http://www.mediaite.com/print/trump-pre ... y-couldve/According to Trump, who attacked the “war hero” status of Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) in July, his education at the New York Military Academy gave him “more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military.” His parents sent him there for his eighth grade year when his behavioral problems at Kew-Forest, a “more traditional prep school” located in Queens, became to much for the teaching staff. (He claims he assaulted a music teacher “because I didn’t think he knew anything about music.”)

"I felt that I was in the military in the true sense because I dealt with those people.”
