What are your actual concerns with a Trump/Pence administration?

Trump's been elected, and since many people either voted for Hilary to avoid Trump, or begrudgingly voted for Trump, in either scenario, a lot of people are anxious about the future. What are your actual concerns as to what policies a Trump Administration will move forward with, etc?

Example, do you think the wall will be too low, or too expensive?
Do you think there will be a trade war?
Do you think he will be Bill Clinton v2 re women?

Really curious to see what people are actually concerned about, especially Hillary supporters / Democrats generally.

 

Building the wall is quite impossible and of course it's going to be really incredibly expensive I'm not talking about thousands or even millions. We're talking Billions, and that's not including the mass deportation.

 

My concerns deal with foreign policy and Trump's disregard for the entire political system.

The sole super power and world's largest economy suddenly shifting from a very pro free-trade to an isolationist and mercantile system can be troubling to international markets; furthermore, Trump's willingness to back out of Asia and ignore alliances in Japan calls into question the entire U.S. position abroad.

The wall is moronic, expensive, and ineffective. Nearly 40% of illegal immigrants in the United States come to the U.S. by plane and overstay a visa. A wall is not going to solve that.

A trade war will only occur if Trump decides to push through his "let's tax imports from China at 45%"

I could definitely see Trump having a Lewinsky scandal and frankly would not be all-that-surprised if he gets impeached sometime in the future. Trump will need to make a drastic shift to become presidential and his failure to do it so far has me questioning his ability to do so.

 

I saw on the news that there's talk of Trump helping some people into Congress that want to repeal Roe v. Wade and same-sex marriage. Not entirely sure of the validity of the claims, but it's just the beginning of a horror story for women & LBGT+ folk.

I'm not interested in a president who's interested in taking away from the American people, rather than serving them like they should be.

He does not represent Us.

 

isn't japan control one of the largest markets or was it shareholders in the world

anyways pretty spooked by the dollar price, i est. its going to lower and lower(i think cad and pesos?), same with stocks. those are the two things that worry me with trump. panic sell

 

I'm an environmentalist at heart and his win was a complete blow to the environmental movement. There was some great progress happening in the States regarding clean energy and he will scrap it all. He's pro-coal and a climate change denier. He wants to de-fund and disassemble all government-level bodies tasked with green R&D and regulation. It's absolutely tragic.

 

I don't know exactly how the US legal system work, but as far as I know, Congress can't 'repeal' Roe v Wade, because the SC interpreted the US Constitution, and found that the 14th amendment, after balancing the legitimate interests between a woman's right to privacy, and the State's legitimate interest in protecting human life, found that the legitimate interests of women for the first two trimesters outweighed, the State's, and so the US Constitution itself prevents ANY State from enacting abortion laws which infringe that right in the first 2 trimesters, but allow the State's the ability to legisilate re the third trimister, because it has no constitutional protection.

You can't repeal a SC decision if it is on a constitutional matter; it can only be overruled in the SC, and it is unlikely to happen given how entrenched Roe v Wade is.

The SSM is the same, it was a constitutional matter wasn't it? It could be repealed though, given the precedent was only a 5:4 one, but given Scalia was in dissent, and passed, his replacement, even if a constitutional conservative like Scalia, would still only make the judiciary 5:4.

So I think that talk is all nonsense (like, utter nonsense, it's IMPOSSIBLE for congress to repeal SC decisions on Constitutional matters. I've read parts of Scalia's dissent on the SSM issue as well, and it has incredible force.

 

Wall is retarded, hopefully won't happen. Waste of money and won't do anything.

His wife is smokin hot, don't see him having a scandal.

Probably will destroy our trade relationships.

 

Destroy? If anything he will better our relationships with a majority of other countries.

 

*trade*

 

Well, I was saying moreso those are the types of people that he wants in Congress, regardless of validity or possibility. It's scary to think there are still people out there who think they have a say in a woman's organs.

 

Lol. It's not the president's fault that we've turned to shit. The human race has been fucking up for years and years, it's to the point where it can't be fixed now.

 

Nah my bad, I misread part of your response. Sorry about that.
