It is the plutocratic, self-aggrandizing structure Trump intends to save.
It is unregulated, boom/bust Capitalism that Trump intends to save.
It is The Oligarchic Filthy Rich System that Trump intends to save.
The crumbs that The System brushes off its banquet table mean nothing to The 1%.
If lickspittle lackeys -- stupid enough to applaud their own oppression -- were aware of their abject brown-nosing, they would be more horrified at themselves than they are at liberals, progressives and all "intellectual elites" combined.

They would be horrified to realize they revere the 1% oppressors who hold them in contempt.
They would be horrified to learn that they are allied the cruel, selfish manipulators "at the top" -- an uncaring, irresponsible hodgepodge of plutocrats, oligarchs and sociopaths -- who ravage earth's delicately interwoven ecosystems in order to transform their increasingly lethal contamination into personal profit.

Even more horrifying is that the lion's share of those profits goes to the top 1%, people who already have more money than they could spend over the course of their lives even if they lived like lavish wastrels.

When our national system of elite profiteering "seizes up" (or becomes otherwise dysfunctional) there will be plenty of pain all around.
However, by virtue of that painful "seizure," we earthlings will have prevented a catastrophic extinction event.
Trump and his pathologically selfish "fellows" may be unaware of the momentous occurrence at hand, but "overnight" the cleansing of Venetian waterways has prompted the return of fish, dolphins and swans to those previously polluted canals. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-virus-brought-something-beautiful-clear-water-flows-through-the-venice-canals-amid-coronavirus-lockdown-2020-03-18
Citywide clouds of pollution previously visible from space have suddenly cleared.
Human beings - and other life forms - are breathing easier.

However, since the specific predictions of futurists rarely manifest with any measure of versimilitude, I will not venture onto those shifting sands.
Instead, I will focus one certainty.
Currently, America's Cowboy Capitalist System -- every bit as mendacious as Trump himself -- continues to devote itself to The Big Lie that Uncle Sam cannot afford high-quality universal healthcare for every single citizen because it would cause financial and economic disaster.
"The bank will break!!!"
"The bank will break!!!"
However we know this is a lie because every other developed nation on earth has -- for fifty years or more -- supplied high-quality universal healthcare to all their citizens, and not one of those countries is even close to the socio-political decadence and economic collapse that already threaten the United States.
Trump and the Republican Party are committed to The Lie that the American economy will implode unless citizens pledge their allegiance to a plutocratic oligarchy in which modern day serfs are guaranteed the crumbs from Lazarus' table if only they bow before their Overlords, selling their birthright for a mess of pottage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mess_of_pottage

The bottom line is this.
Not only is accessible Universal Healthcare completely viable NOW, this moment of acute crisis is when the American people can demand the implementation of Universal Healthcare as as a quid pro quo for ANYTHING the Republican Party wants by way of exiting the current financial and economic crisis.
And once the American people have secured this cornerstone of Civilization (as civilization currenlty exists all over Western Europe) all other characteristics of progressive "Democratic Socialism" (more accurately called "Socialized Democracy) will -- as night follows day -- fall in line.
