I believe that many of his Merry Bund of Men thought they’d chosen Robin Hood to lead them, only to find that he was indeed The Sheriff of Nottingham,a dog whose appetite wouldn’t be sated by “biting the hand that fed him”, but would not stop until he’d consumed them whole.

Pitchfork
•Care for a fork using the procedure similar to the shovel, however the tines do not generally require sharpening.
•One method for straighten any bent tine of a pitchfork is as follows:
❐ Drive a three-foot-long one-inch galvanized pipe into the ground in a convenient but out of the way place. Leave roughly one foot of the pipe above ground.
❐ Stick the bent tine in the pipe and bend it back until it’s straight.
❐ For safety, cover the protruding pipe with a five-gallon bucket.
The Congressional Republicans will wait until the tax bill is the law of the land and then, as if awakening from a dream, suddenly realized that the nation’s debt is “out of control!” they will then announce that the only way to “fix” the problem is by massively cutting Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. They’ve already essentially destroyed the Affordable Care Act by rescinding the individual mandate which forced people to pay for the healthcare provided by the A.C.A. one way or another! They have NO INTENTION of ever “fixing” what can now be called “Trumpcare”. The remains of the A.C.A. will be allowed to shrivel and die amidst continued ‘promises’ that it will be fixed, just as soon a they have a moment from their busy schedule! Every American is going to suffer from the ham-fisted, clumsy way the Republicans have dealt with this issue!
The Congressional Republicans have a few years before the full extent of their perfidy is exposed. With luck, the opponents of Stupidity in Government can defeat the perpetrators of this disaster upon the American Public and correct the damage before it’s taken too far, but we’ll see. No one has EVER gone broke underestimating the stupidity of the American public!
Trickle down has never worked, any of the times Republicans have gotten hold of the legislative process and pushed it through. And, it never logically could. If you have a guy who mows your lawn who is doing an adequate job, then you get a raise at work, do you pay him more or hire an additional lawn mower? The 1%ers won’t do that either. The only thing that will make them hire more people is that the staff they have is unable to produce enough to keep up with demand. The only thing that will increase demand is for more money to be in the hands of people who will actually spend it instead of stashing in the Caymans. So, TRICKLE UP works, for everyone, including the 1%ers.
When are the majority of tRump voters going to figure out that to drain the swamp, the water was pumped into their own basements, that is if they still can afford to own a house after their SS benefits are downsized.
We have been promised even better trickle down than in the 80s when the debt exploded, and even better than the 2003 tax cut which drove us into the biggest recession since the 20s. It took Clinton and Obama to clean up after the Republican mess last time, who will be the Democrat who has to clean up after the biggest elephant yet?

Trump Disciples are so silent about the tax cuts for the rich.
I cannot tell whether they believe there will be no attacks on Medicare and Social Security or if they believe it’s just what the country needs.

Republican class warfare. No money for education, jobs or health or infrastructure repair, it all goes as welfare to the rich Republican donor class.

Trump and right-wing voters entered not a voting booth, but a suicide pact.

Why, they’re regular saints! They’ve brought us harmony, and many of us now feel safe all over.
And anyway, all they did was let go. If we fail to catch them, that’s our own failing.
