Working-Class Whites Watch: Day 1

The election is over, The Stain has been officially inaugurated, and so now it is time to document the atrocities.

In the many, many, many post-mortems written about the election, two things are clear.  First, James Comey stole the election on behalf of The Stain.  Second, even with Comey ratfucking the election, The Stain still would not have won had it not been for working-class whites in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania who provided his razor-thin margin of victory in those three states.

Since The Stain owes his presidency to these working-class whites, it's reasonable to assume that he'll work in their best interests, right?  After all, you'd have to be some kind of idiot to vote for a torture-loving, lying, incompetent con-man sleazeball unless he really *IS* going to make America great for you, right?

Well, it's just one day, but he's not off to a good start:
The order will have the immediate effect of increasing the amount that most non-wealthy homeowners must contribute to the Federal Housing Authority’s insurance program. Beginning Jan. 27, most borrowers will now have to pony up six-tenths of a percent of their mortgage each month, up a quarter of a percentage point from last year. Americans with $200,000 mortgages will pay roughly $500 more in 2017 than they did in 2016, according to the FHA.
Trump’s decision to undo the Obama-era rate reduction, thus resulting in an uptick on borrowers’ bills, will have very little affect on wealthier mortgage holders . . . .
Not to worry.  I'm sure we'll all sorts of jobs and other economic benefits coming to those working-class white folks --- let's call them WCWs --- in the days and months to come which will more than make up for this initial slap in the face.
