If you voted for Trump because he’s ‘anti-establishment,’ guess what: You got conned - The Washington Post
'But for most voters it’s much bigger than that, and this is what Donald Trump recognized. '
'President-elect Donald Trump pledges to accomplish “spectacular things for the American people” as House Speaker Paul Ryan sits by his side. (Reuters)The greatest trick Donald Trump pulled was convincing voters he’d be “anti-establishment.”Well, maybe not the greatest trick. '
'But the idea that he would do this was based on a profound misunderstanding of what the establishment actually is, and who Donald Trump is. '
'He’s an outsider, a glass-breaker, a guy who can cut out the bull and get things done. '
'The wealthy and powerful will have more wealth and power when he’s done, not less. '

Well for one thing it's the Washington Post so it's crap.
And another Trump was despised by both the Democratic party and large parts of the Republican party. How can you get more anti-establishment than that since that is the ESTABLISHMENT.

He is pro-surveilance though (according to election speeches, they may differ from the actions). That is the part of TPP I objected to.

We knew that.
Its unfortunate, but don't act like its new. Upvoated for sharing opinion.
