Reagan was a senile old fucking dick, too.

Will America survive the next 4 years

Why would America not survive?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Perhaps the question should be "what shape will we be in?"

For all of his talk in any other area, people are going to expect the businessman to know how to manage money. He'll get more blame/credit for the economy than most presidents do, even though he's just as much at its mercy as they've been. If it's going well in 2019/20, he could have an easy ride to a second term. I think we'll have a market correction soon. If it becomes a recession and unemployment begins to rise again, the recovery may not come in time to save him. But if things are looking good starting in 2019, he'll be able to boast that it was his doing (and blame the early troubles on "the economy I inherited") and he'll get more than enough support from the electorate. I have no idea who the DNC will select to run against him, but if it's a hard-left liberal he would win in a landslide if the economy was doing well enough. He'd be heralded as the second coming of Reagan. Sorry, was that the stuff of nightmares? 
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

He'll start a war in his 3rd year. Americans will get all excited and patriotic, and in that state, the sitting president always gets re-elected.  
How will the "racial realists" fare in four years? Will our political conversation be totally unrecognizable by then?
