    1.) Obamacare dismantled. That will happen. What will replace it? Good question....but you can rest assured that after the way the dems pushed Obamacare through without ANY Republican support, that it will be a strictly Republican plan. Reap what you sow time here.

    2.) Dodd Frank will be reduced to ashes. There is both good and bad in this. If done right, it will have a positive effect on the economy...if done wrong, we will all be in 2008 again.

    3.) The U.S. will be isolated along with Israel as the Iran nuke treaty is abandoned. Consequences could be from nearly nothing to war with Iran...anybody's guess.

    That's my top three.

      This will be interesting. I don't think they have the guts to just simply eliminate it so all those with existing conditions will lose their insurance.
      A replacement will be difficult, so I expect will see a long drawn out process.

        I honestly can't say the sky is falling because I have no idea what Trump will do.

        I can see him obstructing GOP plans just because they aren't his plans... or maybe because he took some offhand comment as an insult and is now just opposing to due personal feelings against someone.

        He's such an unstable nutter. Also, I think the Presidency is going to age him more than most others. He's so red face and sweaty... like ****ing Joe McCarthy.

        I bet Trump is taking a healthy cocktail of drugs. Booze and pills seem like his poison. Lets hope he indulges.
        To us, it is the BEAST.

          So....you want a Pence presidency?

            I'm hoping there's a scenario where Trump dies while on top and Pence suffocates under his body weight.

                One thing that IMHO you can realistically expect is lots of work for the US diplomatic corps ... in order to repair the damages that Trump does to international relations of the US, by making thoughtless remarks (about other countries or their leaders or inhabitants) in his speeches

                  1) Massive recession. 10-11% unemployment and 15-20% unemployment in the Midwest after Trump back stabs them. Karma is a biatch.

                  2) Unstable foreign policy. Troops deployed in thousands to certain places. Refusal to listen to generals.

                  3) No national medical care. You will be forced back to what it was before. Everyone with ACA will be booted.

                  4) $7.2 trillion added to the public debt in four years. Most analysts look at Trump and the GOP plan and see that it will add this amount to the debt.

                  5) Continued gridlock in Congress with a highly split Congress.

                  6) Taxes on the middle and working classes to sharply increase, leaving Midwest with buyers remorse.

                  7) Gutting of same sex marriage after Trump appoints a highly conservative judge to SCOTUS

                  8) More plagiarised speeches from that idiot wife of his.

                  9) Another Watergate and potential indictment around the Trump foundation. Trump forced to resign in his second or third year.

                  I think that's all.

                    You'd be surprised how much they can actually do to damagecontrol an "edgy" and out of reality political persona

                        i'm sure all that will be about as accurate as your predictions for the election itself.

                          I am sure it will be... I have Trump figured out now. Plus he will grab some of them ***** in the white house.

                            The little ****s, baltics, poland and some others a bit closer (love and respect) are going to get ****ed through a variety of ways, most of which will be russian infiltration.
                            The antagonism between Germany and US that was brewing a long time now, has now found a political expression outlet, as is usually done.

                            Americans will suffer.

                            Apart from that not much, IMF might butt off Greece which is a mixed blessing


                            Considering the alternative was clinton and ww3, it's a good deal

                              he may not be the Republican that many think he will be
                              Not many any predictions here. He's made a lot of promises so we'll see whether he keeps them or no. Republican majority is not as large as in 2010, depending on what happens to Ayotte, who is still only down by 500 and in auto recount along with Hillary in New Hampshire.

With all the Republicans that sh*t all over him with public displays on how they were going to vote for Hillary, he may seek revenge against the party in general and do what ever he wants, and not what some of the more vocal Republicans want.
                                With his Ego, and not really being beholden to the party, it could get real interesting.

                                His acceptance speech last night was pretty laid back... and not one insult
                                We shall see.

                                I can only hope this will be the case since if it isn't, the country will be going to Hell

                                Yeah, my current hope is that him being incredibly petty and not a traditional Republican will result in a poor working relationship with Congress. I don't know how he'll be prevented from nuking/bombing people, though.

                                If he does manage to work with Congress, and he does wreck the country, at least we will be able to lay the blame unambiguously.
