Trump picks small fights because that is the only kind of fight his followers can understand. Or maybe, Trump can understand.

Trump picks small fights because he's a small man.

The micromanaging micropresident.

Bush,
Er, yes, Washington needs a shake up. Billionaires need a tax break and the little guy needs to be screwed out of health care, social security, medicare, medicaid, and housing. In fact, Trump just screwed the construction industry (no more "Obama" mortgage relief = no more little guy buying homes.).
However, Washington does need a shake up, I agree. Get rid of know-nothings (Sec'y of Education and Sec'y of Energy (I have to ensure the safety of what? Perry) and lawyers. Get rid of bankers who want to roll rules back to before the 2008 crash caused by, uh, maybe, greedy bankers - you know, the ones Candidate Trump accused Clinton of being in bed with. Those bankers, the ones in PGOTUS' cabinet.
But yes, let's tweet about the number of people who showed up at the inauguration; that's the most freakin' important. It's Yuuuuge. So Huuuge, we have to make up "alternative facts" to prove we're right.

Third grade playground type of fights.

Big issues get an appointee to handle. The little things, like making sure every hotel has fresh flowers is something Mr. Trump was good at pointing out, so I would expect his presidency to be similar. He will personally handle trivial things and let others propose solutions for the harder things - around guidelines from the campaign trail.
But he will also keep lying and making up new lies. At least his are like the lies of a 7 yr old - easy to spot. Commonly known as a "whopper."
Everyone can buy things they can afford. That hasn't changed. When we walk into a furniture store to get a new couch, should the price for that couch be different for people of different income levels? Should a pizza cost someone more because they have a higher salary? Democrats say yes. Republicans and libertarians say no. That isn't "fair."

Resist and fight against everything they try to do. Heap constant criticism upon everything they do and say. Protests, civil disobedience, complaints, everything you can muster.

After day 1 odds have shorten into the red that Trump won,t Last 4 years. From the start no one is going to give trump a fair go. The first hurdle is his Tax. Just like Obama, Trump will spend 4 years fending off big pressure over his criminality of his paying correct Tax. No one like a Tax cheat. Today he has sign off on pulling out of the TPP, Not one American polly wanted to sign the TPP or it would of being sign off on after 16 years of negation. Now you watch the Polly come out and oppose Trump on this and drag this out for years. Look it clear Washington are not going give Trump a fair go during his only term. There is way to many career polly in Washington that on,tl allow Trump to get a win or goal. Trump has no friends on the hill.
