If Donald Trump gets elected, he would likely play nice during the first 100 days. After that, a gamut of bad choices and derisory actions would begin in earnest.
The only hope Americans would have with Trump in office would be a Presidential cabinet of saviors. The problem with this scenario is that no competent professionals would even consider being part of a Trump administration.
If Donald Trump gets elected, the first casualty of his administration would be the American economy.
Given Trump's narrow view of macroeconomics, he would try to find a way to dispose of NAFTA and other trade agreements that he has no clue about; this may result in other nations forming their own trade agreements and ignoring the United States. Such trade imbalance would result in massive inflation.
If Donald Trump gets elected, the global balance of power would shift significantly.
Knowing that Trump would do nothing, Russian President Vladimir Putin would feel empowered to pick on a nation other than Ukraine, perhaps a smaller U.S. ally and NATO member such as Latvia.
If Donald Trump gets elected, the delicate social balance of the U.S. will be initially shaken and profoundly disturbed. Case in point: in early August, a group of military veterans marched to Capitol Hill for the purpose of asking Senator John McCain to convince Republicans to renounce Trump.
Trump has shown towards Senator McCain, a decorated Vietnam veteran and prisoner of war, as well as towards Khizr and Ghazala Khan, parents of a Muslim American Army officer who was killed in action in Iraq. This disrespect has moved the aforementioned group to collect more than 100,000 signatures from fellow veterans to disavow Trump. U.S. military members currently on active duty and reserve status would not have much of a choice under Trump as Commander in Chief, but the culture of pride that the Armed Forces are known for would likely crumble in just a few months.
If Donald Trump gets elected, the Grand Old Party will be forced to restructure and start over, beginning with impeachment; it may take Republicans decades to return to the White House.
Even though the GOP was well on its way to being in shambles before Trump decided to throw his hat in, he may end up being the unintended savior of this battered political faction. Republicans would likely unite to reform the party and to clean up the mess that they never saw coming; they would have to act quickly before Trump sets off disasters such as starting a war, trying to build a wall, keeping Muslims out, and other preposterous ideas he seems to be serious about.
If Donald Trump gets elected through a complete fluke and disruption of destiny, his feeble attempts to enact his ludicrous campaign promises would hopefully bring the good people of the U.S. together against his administration.
