What would happen to the US with Donald Trump as president?

Chaos. 86 27.65%
 
Nothing. He's just a man... 46 14.79%
 
Abandon ship! 41 13.18%
 
No one will pay him atten... 16 5.14%
 
He could be a great president. 42 13.50%
 
If he wins, it will be Ob... 12 3.86%
 
It will be like Saturday ... 26 8.36%
 
Explosion at the Wig Factory. 7 2.25%
 
Miss Universe gals in The Pentagon woohoo! 16 5.14%
 
He'll buy everyone off, so it will be ok. 19 6.11%
 
Total:311

it would be bad

partially due to his personality and partially due to his wealth he just can't relate to the average normal Americans. he's too full of  himself and mixes law with his own belief of pursuing self preservation 

he would want to cut taxes on the wealthy and the corporations and that's the last thing this country needs, during a time in which the gap between the top 1% of the country and the rest is bigger than ever before. 

 

Donald Trump won't win though. no one can relate to him and simply spewing off some extremely conservative remarks that some strong conservatives like won't get him a following

the next President will be Hilary Clinton probably and while I'm not nuts about her she at least has Bill to help advise her and she certainly would likely to a way better job than Trump (AKA Mr. delusional on his own planet)

he'd probably try to rename the White House to Trump Manor or something if given the opportunity

I wouldn't expect the american people to be that stupid to make him president. Wont happen.


they voted for bush jr, 2 times and think reagan was a good president, they are even stupider...


Bush Jr. wasn't that bad of a President but certainly was a leader in rough times. pretty hard when you face one of the largest terrorist attacks in the countries history practically right out of the gate

at least with Bush you can say he tried and had good intentions. someone like Trump can't be trusted at all. also Bush gets a lot of heat about Iraq and such, things that were more due to Congress than him (after all a President can't declare military action on his own for more than a brief period of time)



I'm fairly sure what would happen is that the rest of the world would laugh really really hard.



Can't be worse than the guy who made a law to fast-track the TPP.

he bombed iraq and afghanistan because the terrorists were saudis, payed with saudi money.

and it was his minister who came with fake intel to the UN... 

and he talked like a crusader alot of times.

You dont have to tell me about Bush. He's an idiot. Apparantly he fooled the US twice but I dont think that would ever happen again. But Trump would put Bush jr in the corner, USA would become the laughing stock of the world if that was to happen. 



I'd lose faith completely in USA and be looking to move to Canada.

Real GDP fell 17% worldwide and 26% in the United States.  During the Smoot-Hawley's passage, trade volume accounted for 9% of the world economic output.  If ALL international trade was eliminated and there was no use for the previously exported goods, then the world GDP would have fallen by 9% as well. Meanwhile you make retarded statements like:

"and other economists who have said it practically caused the whole thing."

The fact that you actually still believe these economists when all it takes is for you to actually look at the numbers yourself!  I'm not going to even bother going into it further because you simply wont understand, as you have said previously, what the data even means.  Go read a book.

I didn't read the rest of what you wrote because I realized that you have an inablility to comprehend data.  

I have a hunch that you are not an American citizien.  At the end of the day, my opinion is the only one that matters since I get to vote while you cannot (thank god).

Edit: Don't waste your time replying because I won't bother even reading it.

More blatant overuse of executive orders. Huge tax cuts for corporations. Cuts to services. Deteriorated relations with foreign nations, and worsening of the overall view of America by the rest of the world.

If this actually happens, it'd be pretty scary.


This is pretty much what I feel about Trump.

Awwwww... don't take your bally and go home.  I'm going to just take the liberty of translating your post so that other people could understand it.  Thankfully I have my "guy who's flailing around in an argument to English" dictionary.

"Real GDP fell 17% worldwide and 26% in the United States.  During the Smoot-Hawley's passage, trade volume accounted for 9% of the world economic output.  If ALL international trade was eliminated and there was no use for the previously exported goods, then the world GDP would have fallen by 9% as well."

Translation- If ALL international trade was eliminated then the GDP would only fall by 9%.  Because trade has no other ramifications beyond the immediate effect.  If the GDP fell more than 9% than clearly the act had no effect.  I am lord ya ya ya.


"Meanwhile you make retarded statements like:

"and other economists who have said it practically caused the whole thing."

Translation:  I'm not going to take two minutes to look at google to see many economists propose this, and therefore your statement is true. And I'm not even going to quote the whole statement which was  "I've read economists who say it did little, and other economists who have said it practically caused the whole thing. "  That way I can attack a statement you didn't even make! Ha!

And now I'm going to call the statement you never made retarded.  Because you used that word a lot. HOW DOES IT FEEL SUCKA!!!



"The fact that you actually still believe these economists when all it takes is for you to actually look at the numbers yourself!  I'm not going to even bother going into it further because you simply wont understand, as you have said previously, what the data even means.  Go read a book."

Translation:  I'm just going to say you agreed with them even though you didn't and the quote in its full context clearly shows that. And even though you  specifically asked for the source for the data I used, and said you could comment further once you had it, I'm not going to give it to you.  Instead, I'm going to call you stupid for not being able to interpret data that you don't have.  Plus, I'm going to make an ad hominen attack to try to save my ego. GO READ A BOOK!!!! OH BURNED!!!

 


"I didn't read the rest of what you wrote because I realized that you have an inablility to comprehend data. "

Translation:  I read the rest of what you said, and I don't have a response to it.  In fact, I haven't been able to at any point explain why the tax plan would be a good idea.  Like I did with the issue of the mexican border, I'm just going to drop it completely. 

 

"I have a hunch that you are not an American citizien.  At the end of the day, my opinion is the only one that matters since I get to vote while you cannot (thank god)."

Translation:  I don't know if you're an American Citizen or not.  You've said nothing to indicate that one way or another.  But I'm going to pretend you are not, because only Americans can have valid opinions on economics.  HAHA!!! YOU'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO VOTE!!! Uhhh... unless I'm making up random shit, but what are the odds of that?!  MURICA!!!!!!!!


"Edit: Don't waste your time replying because I won't bother even reading it."

Translation:  I stopped even defending the two points that were being discussed, because I realized I couldn't.  I haven't provided any evidence to show that such a tariff will be beneficial, or that the wacky wall of Mexico can possibly work.  I realize I'm standing on a mountain of nonsense, so I'm going to walk away.  I used faulty logic, ad hominen attacks, intentionally (or otherwise) misinterpreted everything, and tried to change the subject at every single juncture.  But... what if instead of adrressing your points and explaining why they're wrong I just say "Yer stupid! I'm not going to listen to you nemore! LALALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!"  Yes... that's brilliant. Those fools will never see through my ruse.  BWAHAHAHAHA!

 

 

 

And I don't believe you're actually not going to read this.  But now, even if you do read it, you can't comment because you'd have to admit you were bullshiting about that, and you haven't admitted to any other nonsense here, so I doubt you'll start.  Which begs the question of why I posted this.  Because I'm guessing some people are actually reading this, and I'm hoping they got a chuckle or two.  If you did, let me know.  Because I knew this guy was a lost cause from the start, and I was more intending to inform/entertain other people in the thread.  I'd like to know if that actually happens and whether doing these kinds of debates are worthwhile in that sense.
