I think so much of this is correct, including your prescription of what to do. Catastrophizing and demonizing (including even trying to remove him from the process) have not worked, will not work, but working to nudge Trump to the best paths possible could help significantly to take the edge off his most destructive policies.
I also hope that some of these policies actually lead somewhere better. I remember the economists who pushed for the globalization of our industries. Choices which have devastated whole sections of the country (that have become Trumpland), that were and are the elite strategy for our current economics. I have no idea what the best choices are in these cases but I do understand people who tire of economists telling them how they're wrong to feel like things are difficult. I hope Trump's policy helps to bring more jobs into impoverished areas and maybe shores up our supply lines in the process. It's a longshot but a guy can hope.
Thanks for all your great work! It is much appreciated.
