Predictions for the next four years

[Amarok]

I predict prosperity for those who are proactive and seek jobs that are going to start being created. Those who desire self determination and don't live in a reactive state of dependency will thrive. You will see the taboo of being proud to be American dwindle as the voices of those trying to ideologically subvert the nation by bashing the US as an oppressive state slowly fade away as they wake up and leave the plantation of victim hood and join the rest of us in common culture. The self loathing lazy socialists will soon jump off their sinking ship and swim to shore and see what happens when capitalism shows them how to be productive and make something for themselves.

As infrastructure projects begin employing US citizens, the money from wages will be spent in the inner cities supporting the local economies creating more jobs for low skilled retail workers. Less money will be transferred over seas. The trade deficit will start to reverse as companies start to market the made in America brand in line with the new nationalist populist movement takes hold. The stock market will continue to go up past the record level 20,000 DJI creating more optimism and more willingness to invest for further profits.

Unfortunately word is there is a plan to start a war between Turkey and Syria, but not by Trump. This may throw a wrench in things but hopefully only temporarily.

I predict that he will screw up so badly that the USA and much of the world will take beyond my lifetime to fully recover if it ever does.
He is already talking of increasing the nuclear arsenal and I think he'll use it.

I envy you your delusion, but this man will at best be a global disaster and at worst end all higher life forms.

Wow snacks  golden age nationalist delusions are always entertaining there not based on reality or anything but amusing none the less

And you watched that movie the apocalypse was actually occurring so not a good example

might be some good news on the horizon;

a 30% tariff on (mainland) Chinese goods would put WalMart out of business and end their paying starvation wages to their workers

You really think the billionaire bastards who run WalMart will stand for that?

Let's see... how will things be under Donald Trump?

-Net Neutrality is pretty much fucked.
-So is the environment. But the only thing green Republicans care about is cash, and even then they prefer Gold.
-Tariffs will raise the cost of living. Because it's not just wal-mart that will suffer from high tariffs on Chinese Goods.
-Gender Equality is also fucked. In so many ways too. (He even campaigned on it, but nobody was paying attention)
-We'll continue living in a post-fact world where people who think the earth is 5000 years old get positions in government.

2 state solution in the Mideast is plausibly dead at this point.

Hard to imagine things getting worse there, so, likely a positive, or at the very least, neutral.

My guess is that Trump's administration will be even worse than we can possibly imagine. Hopefully there will be enough wreckage left lying around that the survivors can start building something new.
