He can return to the early 20th century with his strange America First idea.

He can return to the late 19th century will coal and robber baron economics.

He can return to the Middle Ages with nepotism, emoluments and personal enrichment, with serfs toiling all about him in the surrounding mud.

So many good choices, it’s hard to pick!

As fun as America First was, Stephen K. Bannon may be even loopier than Trump, and he may have to go. Somebody always has to be to blame, other than Trump of course, and it looks like Bannon’s turn. Coal is obviously not going to make a Trump presidency, but it doesn’t hurt Trump, only everybody else. The robber baron thing, on the other hand, has possibilities. Tax “reform” without revealing his tax “returns” could be a golden ticket to fattened pockets.

The only problem here is that like health care, there is a political problem with tax reform. Numbers. Numbers that add up. Numbers of congressional votes. The ever-dreary budget numbers. Number of voters shafted. Not as easy as it ought to be!

But door No. 3! There is always door No. 3. The only thing in the way there are personal ethics and campaign promises. The latter have already been discarded, and the former never existed in the first place!

Most likely Trump will, as they say, return to his first love. Enriching himself in tawdry business deals at the expense of others. The great thing about the above list of first-hundred-day cacophony is that there is so much distraction that the nepotism and emoluments get lost among all the other outrages and are hardly noticed anymore!
