To me it’s an indication of a broken system that cannot be fixed. no one really believes trump is going to fix anything, but they do know that they can curry favor of the power structure through bribery. they know what kind of system it will be and are playing the best hand they have.

essentially we’re screwed, it’s a realization by the money and power structure that come next Jan., we’re in a trump dictatorship.
