While
Trump's comments after his meeting with Obama were a cause for a slight
lessening of dread, irrespective of whether he turns out to be more
moderate when in office than his campaign suggested, there are still
three things that really trouble me.
First, he he has to deal with a Tea Party controlled Republican Congress; Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan haven't gone anywhere.
Next, his VP pick has a truly horrifying track record of intolerance and religiously justified bigotry.
And finally, the messages that put him in the White House tell us something about the country or parts of it. That 48% of those who voted either believed the BS or were prepared to dismiss and ignore it is deeply worrying.
When he said "I love the poorly educated" it's quite clear what he meant.
