Trump has made a great start toward his self-destruction

 1.  He continues to tout tariffs, falsely claiming the countries upon which they are imposed will foot the bill.  They won't.  The American businesses importing the goods will pay those tariffs.  In almost all cases, those costs will be passed on to consumers, you and me.

2.  In addition to number 1 above, Trump & Crew's massive deportation of undocumented immigrants will have a negative effect on our economy.  People in business here hire those who emigrate to the USA.  The immigrants work for lower wages and most often take jobs not wanted by most American citizen workers.

3.  The Trump Admin claims that the citizen-birthright clause in the 14th Amendment needs to be "reinterpreted".  No, it doesn't.  It's blatantly clear:  if you're born here, you're a citizen of the USA.

4.  Trump continues to alienate allies of ours, including Canada, Mexico, Denmark and many others who do not kowtow to his threats, ridiculous proposals and lies.

5.  He is slashing social safety-net programs while ramping up ties to Oligarchs and the transfer of wealth to the Upper Crust of society.

6.  On the Environmental Front, Trump is a disaster beyond the pale.  To make things even worse, he is appointing Corporatists to run agencies (e.g., the EPA) which are despised by the new Head Honchos.  Expect more air and water pollution, as well as less cleanup of Superfund Toxic Sites.

7.  Some of the coming corruption---

All the above clips are short in length.  At least don't miss the last two on corruption.  They're especially short.

Not only my opinion.  Be Well, and be a friction against the Oligarchy Machine.
