I cant imagine how a failure in business can become a success as America's president.
Picture this out:It's Jan. 21, 2017 and Trump is now the president.The clocks
are striking and the heavens are crying blood.
You've already broken your New
Year's resolutions. You've lost the holiday cheer. And the day before,
Donald Trump fulfilled his promise to "make America great again"
when he was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States.
Considering it's extremely
cost-prohibitive to emigrate to Canada,your only option is to live under the
policies Trump has outlined as part of his primary campaign. While we know it
would be hard for many of his bombastic proclamations to be signed into law,
here are just a few worst-case scenarios.
You wanted a great America, you got
one. In fact, America now has one of the biggest tourist attractions, the 10th
Wonder of the Modern World — the Great Wall of Mexico. Obviously jealous of the
architectural grandeur and touristic popularity of the Great Wall of China,
Trump's promise to build a wall was made a reality and now not only do
Americans have national security, we have a great photo op.
Mosques
are things of the past.
It's no secret that ever since
Trump's particular brand of Islamophobia has been introduced to the public,
there's been a noticeable upswing in anti-mosque attacks and anti-Islam
violence. Whether it's leaving severed pig’s head or wrapping doorknobs in
bacon, 2015 is the worst year of anti mosque sentiment on record. This will
only get worse.
Freedom
of the press is curtailed— a First Amendment right.
"Look at those cameras, how
they're turned!" he screamed. "They never, ever turn. They will never
show how big the crowd is unless there's a protester because they're the most
dishonest people you'll ever see." — Trump at a Louisiana rally
In case you haven't noticed, Trump
kind of openly despises the media. And while we do have freedom of the press in
America, there are plenty of ways Trump has found ways to lawfully suppress the
press, like excluding certain members of the press from his conferences. Which,
hey, probably rings a bell if you're Jorge Ramos.
The
world will begin a slow, toxic meltdown never before witnessed in human
history.
"Environmental
Protection, what they do is a disgrace. Every week they come out with new
regulations." — Trump on Fox News.
We hope you like polar bears and
toxic water because you'll be seeing a lot more of both. Without the
federal Environmental Protection Agency, many of the natural and manmade
disasters Americans face could be even more devastating. Think Flint,Michigan,without
any plan to address it or global warming gone haywire.
Black people will be policed.
"Police
are the most mistreated people in this country." — Trump to a GOP debate
audienc.
While you're hard pressed to find a
Republican who doesn't believe in law and order, Trump has actually put his
love of police into action, using them to throw out protesters of his
increasingly rowdy rallies. Even though Black Lives Matter has made police
brutality a cornerstone of its organizing, and the police killed 1,134 black
youths in 2015, Trump has promised to "give power back to the police"
because of "rampant" crime.
