Peace

Barrack Obama brought us peace and improving economy.
Trump allies are talking about "rebuilding" the military (was it dismantled - I think not), aggressive stances around the world, lowering taxes, and a major infrastructure bill.  He is floating names of candidates for posts in foreign relations who are war hawks.
Here's the thing - Trump doesn't know what he is looking at.  These are people with powerful agendas who will lead this country into hostile relations with adversaries  and that leads to war.  It is a question of how the USA leads -  Obama led through diplomacy and respect. these neocons want to lead through power and force. 
I truly doubt that Trump understands the ramifications of where he is heading the country.
Kushner, his son-in-law, asked how many staffers in the West Wing would be leaving and they would replace.   He didn't even know that they would all be leaving.  Trump wants top security clearance for his children and, even if they don't get it now, they will when he is President.  These young adults are not appropriate advisors, nor is Steve Bannon nor Reince Prievus.  Not one has worked with Congress or government.
Maybe the ebst we can hope for is that the administration is so messed up that they can't get anything done.
