Okay ! thanks for explaining
unless US foreign policies changes i won't feel no change
btw why not see trump in same light ? even though he says these things so radical, he may not able carry them out as he wants it to .
If Trump picked a more competent cabinet, then I would agree with you. The rhetoric about building the wall, etc. is not the real problem here, it's conflict of interest.
But here's the major problem. There is a Republican Majority in the Senate, House, and soon to be Supreme Court. This means Republicans can pass virtually any law they want with little opposition from the Democrats.
And looking at the past, this is a great misfortune upon the American people. Because Republicans aim to cut social security, cut medicare, increase the retirement age, repeal environmental regulations, and so on and so forth. And they are still promising to do so.
Trump's cabinet is literally, not even exaggerating, some of the worst, if not, the worst possible picks. And the cabinet are in charge of major decisions which will affect housing, economy, foreign relations, education, etc.
And when you have the CEO of Exxon as the Secretary of State, then you can be damn sure there will be conflict of interest. His foreign policy will be based on his oil company's profits. You can also be sure that something like the North Dakota Access Pipeline would be continued, even though currently through the vigorous protesting, the pipeline was denied easement.
Exxon had a major 500 billion dollar dealing with Russia and currently, the U.S. put sanctions on Russia because of their annexing of Crimea, which halted their dealings. So with the Exxon CEO, a friend of Putin, being the Secretary of State, he can lift the sanction and continue business as usual; which essentially means that Russia will get a free pass to do what they like as long as they're in business with Exxon.
Exxon Oil company is one of the biggest contributors to the global warming crisis we face now. New info has bee released that Exxon was in possession of evidence of the catastrophic effects of climate change since the 1970s and they did not disclose this or factor this into any of their investor reports.
But because the CEO of Exxon is now going to be a Secretary of State, the SCC will almost no chance of filing charges against Exxon for their malpractice.
When you have the President of Goldman Sachs as the head of the Budget Committee and another Goldman Sachs executive as the Secretary of Treasure, you can be sure they will create policy and loopholes which will help increase their own profit. Goldman Sachs is one of primary groups to blame for the Great Recession.
And it just goes on and on like that with his cabinet. When you have a cabinet filled with unscrupulous people who's main focus is power and money, then yeah, there is a very good chance that there will be disastrous ramifications to the American people and possibly the world. If the U.S. economy collapses, it affects the global economy.
And if you had a problem with politicians being owned by big money, well now it's on a completely different level, a level which we have not seen since the Robber Barons Era.
