If this was the only information that was available that would indeed suggest that. However, my recollection is that during the campaign there was some furor that arose over the proposed elimination of the income tax completely by the Trump campaign. Since wages aren't defined as income, which is defined as return on investments, the income tax should never have applied to wages at all, and the IRS is a criminal enterprise IMHO.

However, I am under no illusions that anything good will come from the USG, and rhetoric that sounds good is the best we're going to get while we're taxed to death, burned to death, and subjected to 1000 cuts that all lead to death.

In this screencap the expenditures of taxpayer funds are revealed to be used to effect the opposite purpose government claims funds it seizes from taxpayers will be used for. Instead of providing useful and beneficial fire protection with the funds taken from property owners, arson is imposed on those property owners and they are financially harmed, if not killed with their own money. However I do not believe it is incompetence or ineptitude that causes such contradictory consequences, but malevolence and evil intention. These parties aren't moronic incompetents unable to tie their shoes. They are Machiavellian masters of public manipulation that use our money against us and convince us it was an accident before doing it again, and again. That is what the record shows, and common sense suggests from the massive financial support from oligarchs funding these officials' campaigns. Those oligarchs didn't become oligarchs by supporting morons, and it is ridiculous to think they continually succeed at hiring competent personnel to run their business operations but always support complete idiots to run government, when it is proved over and over that the supposed idiots lie constantly. Idiots can't lie their way out of a paper bag, but these smooth criminals take our money every freakin' year.

Over time government is corrupted as criminals serially attack it's personnel and institutions, eventually completely taking it over. Sir John Glubb showed in The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival that there is a life expectancy of ~250 years, and the USA is 248 years old presently. We are clearly in the terminal stages of rot from within prefacing collapse and replacement.

However, as Caesar showed by creating from the Roman Republic the Roman Empire, which persisted for ~200 years after replacing the republic, it is possible to reconstitute such an empire and start the clock over. Far be it from me to prophecy what is to come, as I am a humble carpenter banging my thumbs for my supper, but, despite all appearances, the world may not end tomorrow (or on Jan. 20).
