What it comes down to is the US government has been captured by oligarchs, creating a top heavy, speculation driven economy where most money isn't being put to productive use. Not because of "government waste" but because the government is prevented from taxing and investing back into the country. The oligarchs thought Trump was a fellow traveler but in fact, he's a figurehead for a destructive ideological movement. And no one wants to be the first to pull the trigger on him.
