    Even if after Trump a good president is elected, they’ll have to use their whole time to extinguish the flames. And then what, after four years? Will the American people elect the next Trump-style president who has an easier time bringing it all down than it takes to lift it up? It’ll take at least a decade to fix this mess. And I’m not positive that many Americans see it as the mess it is.

    I’ll be truthful, if it was 2013 and I was in my current age, going to the US would’ve been a no-brainer as someone in tech. Early last year I chose Zürich instead.

      The worst part is, even if someone spends a decade putting the furniture right, the US will emerge right back at where they started with no material improvements made to the lives of people and they will be clamoring for another ‘Trump will fix it’ style campaign. Hard to see how anyone could pull the country out of its current death spiral.
