After the Second World War, it was thought that economic dependence on each other would remove the possibility of major war breaking out on a global scale.  The first idea being that no country after suffering the devastation of the war would even think about waging one on that scale again.  The second idea has equal prosperity being the linchpin that would support the first idea.  If everyone was happy and doing well, there would be no need for armed conflict again over resources.  In hindsight very idealistic.  Human greed can never be underestimated, and Trump is the penultimate expression of that greed.  We are willing to cut out all that is important to our country to insure that the rich stay rich, and the economic gap continues to widen.  There is nothing Trump can do or say that will matter, he will continue to have support, that is how deluded the public is.  Nothing will stop the inexorable journey down the path to a violent outcome.
