Trump is going to get frustrated by his inability to move his agenda using the GOP "majority" in Congress. He will reach out to the Dems and do some horse trading. I see Trump working with the Dems to mend Obamacare rather than end it once the current implosion hits a critical mass with the public call for immediate relief. The same will happen with infrastructure as the GOP tries to prevent the bill because of its impact on deficit and debt. Trump is a pragmatist and will not allow GOP dysfunction prevent him from achieving his objectives one way or another.

Interesting post. I do agree with most of what you have said

1. Some items will give relief/solace to "conservatives" - EPA, State Dept.

2. Working with Dems - So this may very well lead to MORE intrusive Fed. G'ment dictatorshipp - very much like FDR and LBJ

Agree. That is the direction we are heading. The majority of the public supports these big government programs like Medicare, SS, Medicaid, etc. And an aging population that will double the number over 65 years in the next 15 years will just add to this support.
