Change

The nation and the world now have six months of the Trump revolution under its belt and the task ahead is still mostly impossible. To turn around the ship of state is like turning an aircraft carrier. The establishment that has evolved since WW 2 is not likely to accept a major change. The move away from globalization was a first step but from here on out things become more difficult. As the bureaucracy puts up the barriers to maintain the status quo, change of any form becomes more difficult and less likely. All of the main institutions want to remain the same in order to keep their power. Big business, bureaucracy (government), education, the national press and cultural things like Hollywood want to keep the system as is. Trump really has only six more months to get a balance of trade, to end the war Ukraine and to solve the problem in the Middle East. If he can accomplish this there is an outside chance of keeping control of the congress which would give him two more years and this would greatly enhance the probability of making permanent changes. The one thing that could help Trump is if the increase in wages, that currently outpaces inflation, would continue but this is up in the air at this time. The power structure in the US and in the world is against any change.
