There is a bit of a self-correcting apparatus built into that kind of greed, though. The Kushner types are thoroughbred parasites; they still need a living host to keep sucking wealth out of. The newer breed of Trump sycophant is just ripping the copper wire out of the walls. We've hit the crackhead era.
As someone from central Europe this is my greatest fear...
Trump will not be you Hitler he will be your Yeltsin, socio economic consequences for your country and people would be so devastating it's terrifying to even imagine....
I think this assessment is probably closer to the truth. There's a certain lack of drive and competence in the Trump camp that makes me doubt that he's our Hitler.
The terrifying thing for me, anyway, is the reactionary movement that'll accompany the US losing its position of economic dominance. The American middle class isn't exactly known for keeping calm in times of crisis.
