Honestly, how badly do you think this is all going to end.

I think we all agree the Trump presidency cannot have a good ending. How much damage will be done, how badly will the American people be hurt?

Will their be world economic chaos, war? How badly will this end. Trump has only been in office for about 18 months, it feels like 18 years. Look at the damage that has all ready been done. It is going to get much worse. It takes time before you see the real damage of bad policies, incompetence, corruption. Trump is hurting everyone across the board. Health care costs are going to get much worse. Inflation, seniors will take a big hit. I can go on and on.

You may call me an alarmist, it's ok, but I am putting more money into my emergency fund. I am paying down as much debt as possible. My wife agrees with me.

Better safe than sorry.

When it finally does come to an end (and it will) he'll try to burn everything to the ground to extract that revenge.

I hope I am wrong. But I expect us all to suffer economically like we have never done before.

Countless conservative lower court judges will be appointed.

Donald Trump will reshape the nations courts for at least two generations.

This will be his legacy.

Congress isn't going to do a damn thing until this number falls to, oh, about 20%.

Planning for the coming (potential) crisis is wise, but I'm actually in the hopeful in the long run for the post-Trump era.
