How Bad Will it Get?

If you were a betting men, which of the bets above would you place?

Oh, and have a happy new year, everyone.

It's time to ask ourselves the really important question here:

Why didn't the time traveler John Titor warn us about the Trump presidency? Is it because our divergence has grown so great that we have moved to another worldline attractor basin?

 

[rockytopva]

I don't even want to know!

Well the first week has been kind of race to the bottom-y. Hopefully that was just to appease the more rabid of the supporters and things will settle down now?

Maybe?

Please?

Please?

 

[Goonie]

Well given what happened last year, I say Alien Invasion.

If you're having trouble with one week, you're going to need to work real hard to get through the next eight years.

1. Trump cancels Iran nuclear deal. One of the best things he could do.
2. Trump orders a drone attack on an American citizen. Hillary already tried that, and on a non citizen - they said no
3. Obamacare is repealed without a real replacement. Doubtful - but if so, the worst thing is that I could get better coverage again and at half the current costs
4. Trump orders a nuclear bomb attack. It's the hopes and dreams of many on the left, but will not happen.
5. At least half of the undocumented immigrants are ordered deported. The deportation of people who came into the country illegally is part of the laws currently on the books - they are laws just not enforced. And yet people have issue with enforcing the laws.
6. The national deficit soars to over double the current deficit. Obama already did that
7. Trade wars occur, and international trade is reduced over 50%. fake news would have a hey day, but it's not based in reality.
8. The Dow loses over 50% of its value. Like the DOW was going to crash if Trump won the Presidency? Or it was going to crash after the inauguration?
9. Terrorist attacks rise significantly in America. Rise? the left doesn't recognize terrorist attacks - does that mean they will now?
10. Trump is impeached. The hopes and dreams of millions on the left.

Obama already droned two American citizens, and one was only 16 years old.

The rest are fine though. Top notch fear mongering.

 

[Eight Foot Manchild]

I think Trump is much more likely to quit than be impeached.

Why would it matter to you? Just curious.

This a poll or a Leftist wish list? Personally i'd bet on a new Renaissance, but those on the left would never believe it.

BTW, i didn't vote for Trump.

 

[Armoured]

Why would it matter to you? Just curious.

Because I live on the same planet, within the same global trade and alliance network, because American politics directly influence Australian politics, because I have friends and relatives in the US and Middle East who this stuff directly affects, because I spent a chunk of time in harm's way fighting for American interests, from which I still have a disability, and lastly, because I spent a good deal of my childhood in the US, and on some level still think of it as "home".

[The Barbarian]

I have no idea what will happen, and the scary thing is, it appears that Trump doesn't either. If his weird executive order on immigration is any indication, he just does stuff on impulse without bothering to check out the likely consequences.

It would seem week 1 was all about making the base feel good...and until Friday, I was hoping it was just that....no more. Immigrants, including Iraqis who had risked their lives for American soldiers, were met with handcuffs in American airports. Bannon was promoted to the NSC...and the JCS & DNI demoted.

And the eight years after that when Empress Ivanka takes the throne.

Trump is a narcissist who seems to lack empathy and compassion. While I can't make predictions about specific events, I think his cruel and unchristian policies are going to inflict a lot of pain on many of the people who voted for him. That makes me sad, because I do think that rural Americans have had it rough. But Trump is not the answer to anything.

These are all negative, where are the positive things that WILL happen?

Stock market at 50,000

Jobs for everyone

A great wall

Insurance for all

No terrorist attacks in America

Landslide win for second and third term

Change the constitution to reflect current ideals

One single government controlled news source to eliminate fake news

Special camps to reeducate members of the population that are not on board with us being great again

America as the greatest nation ever!

Some of that seems either negitive and/or unreasonable.
