Then people started looking seriously at what he said he would do and realized that he meant every nasty promise. His cabinet picks made it clear that he would put incompetent people in important roles that will speed up the destruction of the federal government. Investors started seeing the gravy train they envisioned with Trump ditching regulations and cutting taxed for big corporations being replaced with a failing economy with tariffs on every import and deported workers with no one to replace them driving food and other scarcity with much higher inflation.

That robber baron free market they all wanted looks a bit precarious now.
