“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

You ask who is to blame for President elect Donald J. Trump?
Look no further than the administration of our first constitutional scholar President and the sorry collection of incompetent and oftentimes corrupt underlings* he chose to help him run this country for these past eight years. While the top 10% got incredibly wealthy under Barack Obama, the middle 70% of American households were simply forgotten. Trump represents an angry and bi-partisan response from Middle Class Americans that was directed straight at all of the power elites who profited so handsomely while the middle lost ground.
[*e.g. Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Valarie Jarrett, James Clapper, John Koskinen/Lois Lerner, Rev. Al Sharpton, Van Jones, Jeh Johnson, Rahm Emanuel, Susan Rice, James Comey, Jonathan Gruber, Susan Power, The Quaker Oats Man running the Dept. of Energy, etc. etc. etc.]
