according to many commentators Trump's project is to weaken the dollar and re-industrialize the US. What is not adequately stressed is that it would require as a necessary (but not sufficient) condition a very strong reduction of US real wages. But the US superwealthy do not care about this worsening of living standards of the majority, what they want is to maintain US (i.e. their) dominance over the world in order to avoid the risk that their right to be so wealthy and powerful be contested. When a majority will realise that this is Trump's intention, how will Trump react?
