They will look out for themselves. They will cut services to people to pay for the tax cuts for the rich. Rich people not in the next administration are sucking up to Trump.

America now has 815 billionaires who currently hold a record $6.7 trillion in wealth.The bottom 50% of Americans control $3.7 trillion in wealth.When 815 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
