One good thing Trump has done is focus on growth in the economy. Please follow me here.

A country with a large debt and deficit has the following options - ordered in my view my most desired to least desired:

1. Grow the economy to change deficits to surplus and start paying down the debt. If Trump can pull this off he's done the country a huge service. If he can't and deficits keep on adding to the debt then his increased spending on military etc. will have contributed to the debt accumulation and become a real problem later.
2. Create inflation. If most of your creditors are foreign then assuming currency exchange rates stay the same inflation will mean that you in real terms have to pay back less. If the wages increase can hold up with inflation then your own population will not suffer that much.
3. Save yourself back to surplus. The popular word is austerity.This is extremely hard in democracies because no politician becomes popular by cutting expenses. It might even be impossible to get through senate/congress. Even if it does cutting government expenses reduces economic growth and the horror scenario of shrinking economy and a growing debt may occur. To my knowledge no government in the last couple of hundred years have been able to pull this off.
4. Bankruptcy/Debt forgiveness. This is a really bad situation and has happened to for instance Argentina and Greece. The countries get caught in the poverty traps and will need decades of saving to get out of it - if they can at all. Japan has debt of about two times yearly GDP and the only solution for them is to keep interest rates at zero and keep pushing the debt in front of them. The aging population also means they spend less over time.

For everyone living in the US we really have to hope the growth part works because all other alternatives are not attractive. I worry about the next recession possibly turning into a depression whereby the debt increase will accelerate. Check out the debtclock.org. The numbers are quite scary.

13. He hasn't started WWIII. Yet. He may be trying, but his incompetence has made him fail. So far.

#3 and he still acts crazy

It is my sincere hope if we get nothing else from this period of American history it will be the lesson that we all need to vote.

Trump did not drain the swamp - he poisoned it. He made favoritism worse, added nepotism ( and wants to f--- his own daughter and admits to it on national TV), claimed to be fighting fake news when lots of it comes from his own false statements, destabilized relationships with the country's best allies, blamed other countries for the failures of his own, gives everybody reason to think he's been unfaithful with his lady stories and attempts to pay them off putting his wife and family in really bad situations - and I could go on and on. Oh No - what has this country come to....

How about Trump was the necessary evil needed to make more people pay attention and get more involved? That's my take on this painful period in American history.
