You know. I had been wondering if Trump was just going to be a huge scapegoat and excuse for all sorts of evil moves that are going on. Unrelated to tax hikes, do you think years from now they'll put any living US military members (non high ranking of course) on trial, similarly to when we find out there is an old german guy who happened to be a soldier (probably conscripted) living among us? I don't have a link, but I do remember seeing that occasionally in the media as a kid.

Really doubtful imo. Even if he is going to drain the swamp, which he probably isn't, the military would be one of the last things touched imo.

Right. I guess, I was just speculating years in the future. My thought train sort of assumes a regime change, and those under Trump painted as terrible people. You can ignore me lol.
