    IF the genius people of the United States choose Donald Trump as their next president, ironically making him (the person who doesn’t believe in the particular notion) the figurative leader of the “free world,” not only will we have the first president of the United States (POTUS) with hair like Dennis the Menace but also one who has menacing thoughts like him.

    If Mr. Trump is not just throwing his ivy-league-school-taught vocabulary and implements even half of the things that he has said and claimed, then the first thing we will have on our hands will be voluntary emigration, blacks, Chinese, Indians, Muslims, Mexicans, anyone who does not please Mr. Trump and vis-a-versa would sell all their assets and move to a friendlier country.

    The U.S. will not only lose many taxpayers but also a relatively small but significant amount of currency will be moved out of the country. After that, whoever is not “native” American and has not left the country will be forced out, which would include almost everyone, as according to him the United States should be inhabited only by “native” Americans. And as America is nothing but a huge melting pot and the only native people are now known as Indians, there will be no place for anyone else including Mr. Trump until and unless Mr. Trump belongs to some Indian tribe.

    Maybe he will be exceptional to the rule, maybe he will stay in the country after he becomes the president.

    There will be protests, rallies and the greatest nation will be thrown into multiple civil wars. Assuming that somehow Mr. Trump succeeds in his mission of emptying the entire country save a few million people, with no taxpayers, businesses, NASA, NASDAQ, Microsoft, Facebook, anything for that matter, the American economy will be crushed to dust which will affect the global economy in a most disturbing way.

    Many countries will lose one of their biggest importers for products as well as services. There will be global chaos and the rest of the nations would have to let go of their petty feuds and come together.

    Hey, there is a bright side to this. Who knew?

    With the possible largest migration that one could ever imagine, there will be drastic changes in the population demographics of the rest of the world. There will be refugees everywhere, Americans or then ex-Americans will find themselves in the similar shoes as Syrians.

    Silicon Valley along with all its kings and pharaohs would have to look for a new base as I reckon none of Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates or any other IT geniuses have Indian lineage.

    In fact, all the other scientists Michio Kaku, Stephen Hawkings and other brains running advanced medical, astronomical, nuclear or any other facilities will have no right to remain in the U.S. according to Trump law and will be searching for new homes.

    The huge withdrawal of money and moving of assets will shut down the U.S. banking system overnight.

    The world will see the biggest economic crisis of the 20th and 21st centuries combined. There will be multiple recessions around the world and not one, not two but many stock markets will crash.

    While the rest of the world will be struggling with devastation caused by the after-shocks of the explosion named Donald Trump that would have just happened in the U.S., Mr. Trump will be busy building a wall (who knows with what resources), the most beautiful wall, a wall to remember and will somehow manage to force the neighbors that he just alienated to pay for it.

    With little to no military, air force or navy left to protect the U.S., ISIS and other terrorist groups will have a field day and will probably take over the country making it their new base in a matter of weeks if not days as the only thing standing between evil and the land-of-the-free will be Trump’s walls.

    The IMF, U.N., and international forces will be destabilized and smugglers will have a grand time too. We will be spending much of our time and resources cleaning up the mess of this possible POTUS.

    And these are just the broader strokes of the much larger painting named seven levels of hell by Mr. Trump.

    Eventually, normalcy and stability will return. Export routes will change, buyers will be in different countries but the good days will come back, they always do. In fact, some countries might benefit from these catastrophic events in the longer run. With the international bully gone, many wars around the world will come to an end. After such an event and such extreme shifts in the global economy, nations will be forced to cooperate with each other in much better ways. The countries that will give shelter to the refugee businesses of the U.S. will see an economic surge.

    But the same cannot be said about the U.S. The United states of America will be thrown back into the stone ages with no possibility of ever emerging from it.

    And if some of you are thinking that Trump will only be there for four years and they will be able to correct their mistakes in the next election then they are wrong. If Trump gets his way and with no one left in the country who will vote him out? The United States will might as well be known as the Trump States.

    So think Americans think, you are not holding your own but the rest of the world’s future in your hands. Don’t vote emotionally, don’t let this man whose values are apparently based on his feelings let you make what might well be the biggest mistake of your lives.
