so much for draining the swamp

I don't see it.  He doesn't have a good answer to globalization, and no one does.  And running up huge deficits really sucks the fuel out of economic expansions.

I see one of two scenarios playing out:
1) Recession in his first 2 years in office - Repubs get hammered in mid-terms and Trump's agenda gets shutdown (aside from the fact he may be more of a liberal on many economic fronts, or capable of pivoting as Clinton did)

2) Recession in his final 2 years in office, loses re-election as does nearly every POTUS not named Obama when the economy sucks.

Honestly, my most optimistic hope is that Congress unites against Trump and actually gets some good things done.
