I haven't figured out two objectives that will most likely work at cross-purposes during the Trump era.

First, it's capitalism. If a company wants to grow, the idea is that it grows its customer base. But, how do these companies grow, when Trump's policies are more than likely going to either kill or deport the customer base in America?

Monopolies, oligopolies, “rentier” society, feudalism. Just different versions of the Uber-wealthy and the rest of us serfs.
A very few are oligarchs and they own and control everything, including the government. Their greed knows no bounds.
The rest of us are peasants and under their control.
