Winners and Losers in the Trump Election

Donald Trump frequently mentions winners and losers in his rhetoric. Here's a list of who stands to gain (and lose) from his election.


WINNERS

The Health Insurance Industry - Obamacare is dead. The insurers can decide whom to cover and how much to charge.

The Carbon Exploitation Industries - Energy Secretary Palin will let them drill wherever they want, as much as they want, with far fewer restrictions. 

Wall Street - Say goodbye to regulation and hello to speculation.

Companies with Low Wage Employees - Walmart and Papa John are doing a happy dance over their new, reduced labor costs.

The Alt Right - Also known as White Supremacist groups. They're no longer hiding in the shadows. They supported Trump, and he didn't refuse their endorsements. Steve Bannon will make sure that their voices will be heard by the nes administration.

The Entourage - Christie, Giuliani, Palin, anybody who's been on The Apprentice. These folks will be running the country.

Russia - Putin got the US President that he wanted.

Melania and the Kids - Move over, Kardashians. A new family if entitled brats is taking over the spotlight.


LOSERS

Anyone with a low paying job - Not only will there be no minimum wage increase in the next four years, the minimum wage will be abolished.

Anyone with pre-existing health conditions - Good luck finding insurance!

The National Debt - Republicans always run up the debt while cutting taxes on the wealthy. There's no reason to expect any better from Trump. Yet another mess for the next Democratic President to fix!

Women - It's simple. Trump doesn't understand your needs. He doesn't even respect you. Unless you're a 10.

American jobs - Despite Trump's rhetoric, more jobs will leave. If I were setting up a new manufacturing plant, I would not want my investment to be subject to the whims of a fascist administration.

Data security - The candidate who profited from the work of Russian hackers isn't going to find ways to punish them.

The Press - Trump doesn't like being criticized. He has banned correspondents from legitimate news organizations from campaign events. Expect the same at the White House.

The Military - Your new Commander-in-Chief is reckless, impatient, and uninformed.

Our Allies - Who knows what agreements the capricious Trump will decide to honor?

The Environment - The US will reject the Paris agreement. The Koch brothers are in charge now.

The Office of the Presidency - We have bad presidents before. Andrew Jackson waged genocide against Native Americans. Andrew Johnson hated Blacks and tried to undo everything that Lincoln accomplished. Nixon turned his paranoia into a criminal enterprise. Look for Trump the Misogynist to break new ground in the Hall of Historical Shame.

The Image of the First Lady - No need to comment.
