The embedded powers will be happy if Trump succeeds? The same "embedded powers" who tried to block him from even running on the GOP ticket? Whom he then had to threaten to run independent to let him into the primaries? The same embedded powers who've been attacking him from both sides of the media (left and right) since he announced he would run? I have no idea how you people come to these conclusions. I mean, if I watched more mainstream media and believed everything I was told, I suppose I can see how you would come to these sorts of conclusions. I can assure you they are wrong. I mean the CIA is against Trump and is trying to de-legitimize his election after the fact. Are those the "embedded powers" who will be happy if he succeeds? Who are you even talking about? The only ones on Trumps side are probably half the GOP, and the people, that's it, everybody else is against him.

I'm not sure I would fit in your definition of "you people" if you got to know me, but who knows :). The key is to not believe anyone in particular and look to how patterns have unfolded throughout history. There are few examples of people using Trump's tactics who have achieved good for their constituency. As Dear Abby or Ann Landers would remind us, people don't change nearly as much as you want them too, so if someone spends their life working for a particular set of interests and gains power by promising to look after a new set, I will believe their actions more than their words. And as an engineer, when someone posits simple solutions to complex problems, I will look to them to provide rigorous evidence to support their policies.
