Psychopaths like Trump thrive in chaos. Nations, businesses, families, not so much.
.
Dealing with Donald Trump is not about politics as usual. It is Game of Thrones. Donald Trump's total takeover of the Republican Party as a precursor to what he wants to do to America. He much prefers the Law of the Jungle to the Constitution of the United States.
The Republicans haven't offered any policies to benefit ordinary Americans in 40 years. Just tax cuts for the wealthy to drive up the National Debt and more and more and more guns. Oh yeah, and outlawed abortion, removed books from libraries, promoted anti-gay rhetoric, passed voter suppression laws oh and yes, they still want to shut down the government.
The Republican House majority shows their nature and the problem with it. It's just about power so inevitably they turn on each other. If it was about democracy or making democracy work, they would be able to find compromises, but they can't. Really, what they want is chaos so that they can say that democracy doesn't work and that what is needed is a dictator.
