What's the worst that it will happen to you? Probably pay less in taxes, other than that life will continue as normal.
I really doubt he can be worse than Bush or Obama.
But not as bad as Clinton. Those vicious wars in the Middle East continued and got worse on her watch. In fact, according to the emails leaked by Wikileaks, she actively solicited payments from the Saudi and the Qatari government whilst she was representing the US as Secretary of State. It took Putin to come in and bomb the fuck out of ISIS to turn the tide of the war. Whatever you Americans will suffer under Trump is nothing compared to what those poor people suffered.
You Americans should feel bad about Clinton, Trump and what your government has done, and will continue to do to the world.
There is a deep seated fear of what will happen under Trump, whether that be the banning of abortions, another bubble like under George W Bush, the destruction of trade ties with most foreign countries, etc.
Hell, I'm afraid tariffs caused by the destruction of NAFTA will cause me to have to replace this Canadian software product with my own in short order, and I do not have $300k and skills in HIPPA to do so. Compliance after writing it will cost $40k a year!
Tax wise I highly doubt my taxes will drop, if your making over 6 figures, it may be good for you (the more income you have, the more likely you will save $$$), but if you are a working stiff, expect the earned income tax credit and similar credits for the working poor to go away, and for more regressive taxes to replace lost revenue from the reduction in taxes for those that are very well off.
Additionally, expect all federal transit funds to disappear. No highway repairs or expansions, no federal funds to build mass transit, no investment in any infrastructure besides the wall. Cities will slowly economically strangle themselves in traffic, with no pressure relief valve (grade separated mass transit).
If anything, 10 million people skipped voting this election, and even if they had voted, half of people eligible to vote did not turn out to vote. If we Americans want a better government, we need to hit the streets and fight for a better country. I've been at one rally and one candlelight vigil already today, but I am not expecting much.
Saying those things about Muslims, Mexicans and all the other dumb shit (you go Google it yourself) makes him worse than Bush or Obama. But not as bad as Clinton.

Let's wait and let the guy do his job and then we can comment based on his actions as president.
But having people spamming the net with stupid stuff like moving out of the country is becoming ridiculous.
The majority voted for Hillary, by 200,000 votes. Our electoral college system and the Democratic Party not controlling many states due to their own failings at state level politics is what is allowing Trump to win despite losing the popular vote.

America needs a classic New Deal Democrat to focus on rebuilding our countries infrastructure, so our businesses can succeed. Not on restricting what people do with or to themselves when it has no effect on others.
To most people on HN? Nothing.
To women? Losing agency over their bodies. To black people? Losing the right to vote. To LGBTQ people? Losing a lot of rights. etc.etc.

Let's wait and see what will happen. I doubt anything crazy will happen. The mass majority of voters decided to go with Trump ... that means there are bigger problems among the common people.

Still... he is not stupid, he will not go bananas. I think there will be economic growth in America. Hopefully less corruption and no terrorism. Look at Europe... they have the "open mindset" approach and there are more problems there than anywhere in the world (regarding politics, terrorism and common people not being happy)

Just because he said some bad words doesn't make him worse than Obama and Bush. Let's wait and let the guy do his job and then we can comment based on his actions as president. But having people spamming the net with stupid stuff like moving out of the country is becoming ridiculous.
It'll be decades before the next 4 years is unravelled.
