It happened. The establishment intelligentsia was wrong. With the support of 26 percent of eligible voters, Donald J. Trump was elected president of the United States.
So what comes next? Who knows! The problems inherit with politics still remain, the economy is full of warning signs, and there’s nothing government can do to make America great again besides getting out of the way. Will Trump deliver American a new foreign policy? Will his policies enrich the pockets of ‘fly over’ voters that got him into office? Will he ditch his calls for protectionism for genuine free trade? We’ll see.
