What happens if Trump wins?

I know the comments Trump has made about blocking Muslims from the USA, and building a wall between the states and Mexico. But what will the world look like if he becomes president? People seem to be afraid of his success and suggest we 'should push the button now' or that he will be assassinated. Surely he comments are to stir up media interest?

I read an interesting article about how history repeats itself, we are at a point where people think they are voting for change (in ways that Claig outlines), but in fact a Trump presidency and the recent Brexit vote is likely to have far reaching consequences which aren't obvious right now, but to historians of the future will be glaringly obvious.

I'll try to find the article, it was worth reading.

I know 53, fancy using the sentence 'no more elitism' if Trump wins. Claig, you slant on politics is really a little too bizarre to take you serious.

The world will end.

That's what you want to hear, right?

Anyone who really thinks that global peace can be achieved by doing things like denying climate change is happening, is deluded.

Trump is on one big greedy cynical mess of a man. I doubt he'll win, fortunately.

The Claig Collective is on here doing a very entertaining version of MN Political Performance Art, I think.

As I saw on twitter. ....... it'll be great for comedians if Trump wins. But they'll have to fit the jokes in between inauguration on the 20th and nuclear fall out on the 23rd.

I really wouldn't put too much value to what claig says.

Claig exists in a world somewhat different from our world. One where Trump is one of "the people" and not "the fat cats" Wink

Thanks Claig, you sound very positive about a Trump leadership. Do you think it will be as bad as people make out if he gets in? If you are American, will he get your vote?

scams like climate change

Hmm

Well, he's a fascist. Fascism hasn't lead to great things, historically speaking. So I think things would look pretty bad.

"Brexit, Trump and the fall of the elites: UK voters deliver a worldwide wake-up call"
...
Where the Brexit and Trump waves intersect is in a global revolt against the elite, economic decisions of the last few decades: increased immigration, free trade, etc. Those of us who have generally supported and benefited from those decisions might want now to adopt a bit of humility and recognize they haven’t necessarily delivered in the manner promised."

Biggest shakeup in world politics, the end of the elites. They are losing power, going down along with their elite biased media. No one believes their media any more.

The Corbyn coup by the lackeys is the last gasp of the Establishment and its media, but we are seeing the people defeat the elites worldwide.

Also US and Russia rapprochement. Realignment of world geopolitics. Bankers no longer deciding policy. No more "humanitarian wars" ad all the rest that the liberal elite were prone to. Peace, jobs, business, common sense, people above elites and EU global governance by fat cats etc.

All over for the elites.

claig · 31/07/2016 08:06

Huge changes if Trump wins. It will be the end of globalism and it will be America First. Fat cats, bigwigs, servants and lackeys are petrified of the end of globalism and their free trade deals and the offshoring of US jobs and the end of global governance and all its allied scams like climate change and all the rest. Total change in world direction, rule for the people and not the elites.
