If you really want to see how this will affect policy, and arguably more importantly the discourse here’s the list of those who are in contention or being appointed. It’s worth digging deeper too, for example the views of many appear to be racially charged, anti-lgbtq, utterly compromised by business attachments.
Reading this in the Guardian, what’s the tally on the Trump administration picks so far?
Creationist/intelligent design supporter
User of racially charged language and the page isn’t long enough to outline the problems…
Hardline national security state proponent
Hardline national military state proponent
It’s going to be a long four years. And arguably the most right wing administration in living memory.
The Cedar Lounge Revolution 
How far back would you have to go to get a similar right-wing cabinet? Reagan? Nixon? Warren G. Harding? Heck, if we discount
Presidents of the UNITED States, how about Jefferson Davis?

“[M]embers of labor unions, and unorganized unskilled workers, will sooner or later realize that their government is not even trying to prevent wages from sinking or to prevent jobs from being exported.
…will decide that the system has failed and start looking around for a strongman to vote for..
The left, both cultural and political, eventually abandoned economic justice in favor of identity politics, leaving too many people feeling freaked out or ignored.
“It is as if the American Left could not handle more than one initiative at a time,” Mr. Rorty wrote. “As if it either had to ignore stigma in order to concentrate on money, or vice versa.”

-Trump’s plans do not amount to a rejection of neoliberalism. Fletcher writes, “Trump focused on the symptoms inherent in neoliberal globalization, such as job loss, but his was not a critique of neoliberalism. He continues to advance deregulation, tax cuts, anti-unionism, etc.-
