WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TRUMP

On Josh Marshall's show, Josh Green says he has no idea what to expect. Trump doesn't have policies, only preferred outcomes. The issues of importance to his voters are wages,immigration and law and order. 

He says what is a pattern is that Trump is surrounded by the B & C team of Wall Street advisers that are just slightly straighter than Madoff. Bannon is an ex-Goldman Sachs guy, which is why Newt said he wasn't anti-semitic because he had worked in finance. But he is also surrounded by has-beens and hacks who never made it in the GOP pantheon.

Bannon told Green that their "revolution" wants to restore pure capitalism and American values." and is inspired by Brexit and the European Right. 

Trump himself told Green that he wanted to make the Republican Party,the ":Worker's Party" and that he had no intention to cut Social Security or Medicare. 

Green sees Trump clashing with Ryan on a whole host of issues, primarily because Ryan depends on GOP funders that are for liberal trade policies.

Where Green sees a possible compromise between Ryan and Trumpism is on the reform of corporate income tax and bringing the $2 trillion from abroad and taking some of that money and putting it into an infrastructure bank. And unlike Obama's stimulus Plan,Trump would pout his name on every bridge built so that everyone knew where the infrastructure came from. To this day,voters have no clue that huge stretches of highways in Ohio were built by Obama. 

To satisfy the Right and show he is against crony capitalism, he would eliminate the EXIM bank. Trump would not sweep away Nafta but probably make a symbolic modification. His wall on the Mexican border would be merely symbolic. 

Green says Trump is not animated by ideas and he won't bring in Democrats to sort of create a middle. 

But Green says the trouble comes with so many people who are incompetent being part of the administration and what problems they will set off that we can not anticipate.

He thinks Trump will be allowed to do alot of symbolic things and basically will buy or accept the Republican party line.
