The "big" outcomes (to use a diminished Trump adjective) jump out at you: America will lose respect from other nations around the world; internally Americans will remain in a 'state of siege' trying to hold on to programs, values, and principles that make up our culture; our press corps and to some extent all of us will have to remain vigilant and resist the erosion of freedom itself brought on by the Trump autocracy; all Americans will have to endure the embarrassment of a "stupid" leader who has no regard for knowledge, truth, or even common sense!
Yes, it is a rough future I am predicting -- but unfortunately it has already begun. There are other elements yet to be discovered as well: possible "treason" by Trump and his "team" in working with the Russians to influence the last election; major "conflicts of interest" as Trump, his Family, his Brand, his Cabinet appointees and others continue to profit off of out country and set extraordinary precedents for corruption and malfeasance; and a possible "change of government" when Trump himself falls due to his own arrogant crookedness. Resist!!
