John Avlon: Given everything we know about Donald Trump from his divisive, demagogic presidential campaign, the next four years will be a stress test for the American system.
The Trump Years promise to be full of Oval Office insults, Twitter attacks and disregard for facts. But rather than viewing the prospect of covering a Trump administration with exhaustion, we should feel invigorated. Because when this time is done, we will look back on it as the best and most important time to be a journalist not because it was easy, but because it was hard and our sense of mission was clear: to respect the office of the President while holding the person in power accountable against a standard of enduring American values.

All the pieces are in place for this to happen. First on the list will be the transfer of Billions from all those ACA Enrollee's which will crash the Stock Market. Cuts to Medicare/Medicade,will be Billions pulled out of our Nation's Economy which will crash the Stock Market. Now,how long will it take for our lousy so called News Media take to catch on? We do not have Journalist,we have Stenographers.

Applegrove I would like to think they will do a real job, but the recent tripe & garbage from the 4th Estate makes it hard for to believe.
