As I put it on another post earlier today, we will be experimenting with the Trickle Down Theory of Kleptocracy. Everybody is going to want a piece of the action--and think they deserve it because, well, look at the guys in charge!

Kleptocracy also breeds bitterness, resentment and just will further divide us as we (not us here at DU, but many Americans) try to victimize each other to get our piece of the pie. This'll be especially true of the pathetic people who look up to Trump as a model, an example.

From almost every angle you can look at what is unfolding, it's just miserable.
