A world without core human values, such as kindness, empathy, a connection to one's community, caring for others, is a world doomed to crumble and fail. Trump's world, I fear, would look much like Frank Capra's "Pottersville," from It's A Wonderful Life. A place where ruthless progress (for oneself) is valued over all else.
