he has already toned down his BS during his victory speech. He will continue to tone down his ramblings in the coming weeks. I really think he will be like an Obama, all talk virtually zero action.
I doubt it. Obama had the disadvantage of not being aligned with party majorities in Congress. Very little he could do without support there. Trump only has ill will to contend with in Congress, but it's all Republican majorities.
I think it will be a dark time for things like the Free Market, Net Neutrality, the Environment, Privacy, NASA and the National Science Foundation. Worse than Obama, that is.
If Trump has shown anything during his campaign is that he 'goes with his gut', despite evidence. Most politicians do this, they go with what they think will get them re-elected. I think that's going to be the legacy of the Trump Presidency. I'd prefer to be wrong about that, but I don't see it right now.
