In what ways do you think that Donald Trump will change America???
SW-User
His economic policies are based on historical failures and misguided perceptions.

His protectionist stances, particularly regarding China, will invariably raise prices while reducing competition and quality. It always has.

His tax policy will reduce revenue, spending, and savings, which will stifle growth and investment while increasing poverty as it did towards the end of both Reagan's and W's terms.

His plan to bring manufacturing jobs back is futile since we lost ~70-80% of those jobs in the past dozen years to technology and logistical streamlining, not necessarily to outsourcing. Any jobs "brought back" will either be insignificant or inefficient. It's a terrible idea.

Plus, he intends to grow the GDP under the notion that it will create jobs. Not only is the GDP an absolutely myopic measure of economic development, it hasn't been connected to job creation since at least the Clinton years. Growing the GDP will only exacerbate income and wealth inequality

It's like whoever is informing these ideas hasn't read any economic literature in at least 30 years

I have a terrible feeling about Trump as president, but I chose to have hope that America can somehow make it through!!

We don't have to hear all the apologies in fear of upsetting any other religion that may blow us up. Hope that agenda politics becomes the past and not repeated again.

Interesting!! But although Obama made some serious mistakes he also unified America in a way that we needed.

If he unified America, Why do we have Black Lives Matter? There are more racial problems today than 8 years ago.

@SocialSmocial That's very true.

Repeal and replace Obamacare
Undo all the things Obama did
Reduce debt
Balance the budget
Make America great again!
Make the inner cities better
Bring jobs back to America

It remains to be seen.
We'll see more of the following. It's already started happening because his rhetoric during the campaign struck a chord with such individuals:

@bijouxbroussard I'm pretty sure that he didn't use the N word. Sounds like something taking out of context.
@Coolkid77 No-one said the paper's from him, just that his attitude has emboldened racists:
He hasn't denounced Roseanne comparing a black woman to an "ape".
He didn't really denounce white supremacists at Charlottesville, claiming there were "good people on both sides".
In a meeting about legal immigrants, he pondered why we have to "take people from 'sh*thole countries' like El Salvador, Haiti and African countries", and why we can't take "people from places like Norway".

Not much to misunderstand.
