I shudder. I can now imagine him being elected. Maybe it's shock, but I have a hard time imagining what comes next. Who's his vice-president? Ted Cruz? Who's in his cabinet? Secretary of defense? Jeff Sessions. Homeland Security? Interior? Sarah Palin. Treasury? Carl Icahn. State? John Bolton. Labor? Scott Walker. HHS? Ben Carson.
How long before he committed in your face impeachable.offences? How long before he created an epic international incident? How long before he started a war? It should go without saying that the rest of the world would be horrified and that we'd be the laughing stock of the entire globe.
It's not just his politics, which actually don't seem to exist, it's his temperament how the guy thinks. He's a malignant narcissist, an egomaniac. No one could be less s7ited to be President.

(Seriously, it gets nearly prophetic when he says, "With the help of Vice President Dick Cheney" and then an off-screen voice goes, "You killed him in a hunting accident!". Remember, this was from 2000 before the elections)

Bernie Sanders on the other hand will.

(3,937 posts)"T R U M P" in gold letters at the top. A new gift shop area the size of your average WalMart full of Trump paraphenalia -- the book, the game, Apprentice crap, fake wigs all surrounded by a perimeter of slot machines.
He will change the National anthem to "For the Love of Money" by The O'Jays and we will have to stand at the beginning of football games with hands on hearts as we watch a montage of Trump and the American flag waving in slo-mo for 2 minutes.
He uses illegal non-union Polish workers ("Solidar-nots" to build a wall between Texas and Mexico; a black glass wall with "T R U M P" in gold letters at the top. But it will be done super cheap so it is falling apart by year 3 of his administration. He will divorce and remarry twice during his first term but we almost won't notice because his series of wives will look nearly identical AND the world will be in turmoil.
TRUMP will try a leveraged buyout of the ground underneath the U.N. and then evict them and raise the rent. A Kardashian or two will move in in a much publicized event. TRUMP will assume the power to fire elected officials who in any way oppose his egomaniacal fantasies. The camera will close in on his ever-pursed lips as he says "You're fired!" and then each of the fired will be replaced by Gary Busey, Geraldo Rivera, Stephen Baldwin, Clay Aiken, Dee Snider, Jose Canseco or Amarosa.
... I would continue but I'm scaring myself...
