What's your personal biggest fear of Trump's presidency?

ACA - Obamacare isn't anywhere near universal health care , which would much prefer to the current state of things where I'm paying more for medical coverage than I am the mortgage on my home .... in a very affluent area.

I'm a true fiscal conservative .... but at this point I realize that universal healthcare is a better option than being robbed by the gubmint and the insurance companies (My wife is an insurance agent).

 

RVW was decided by a conservative leaning court .... as was gay marriage , I don't think you anything to worry about.

 

As long as they didn't come here ..... illegally .... I don't think you have anything to worry about (and if illegal , as long as they aren't felons , they probably have nothing to worry about).

 

Yeah , and Ben Carson who is on stage with Trump right now is Uncle Tom ....

 

I am pretty optimistic with Trump, relatively speaking of course. If our country gets the change we need, it will happen under Trump as he is not a career politician and does not need to answer to a corrupt party system.

Being against amnesty and a fear of radical terrorist does not make one a racist. This is what Trump campaigned on, contrary to Hillary banging on about him being racist. I dont think this will be an issue. I do believe racial tension will subside quite a bit. Trump is not going to play sides.

What I fear most is what happened to Bush in that his presidency was distracted with a major disaster. Whether that is self inflicted is a complete different argument.

If he repeals Obamacare, he better damn well have a good plan to fix it.

This is the thing with a Trump candidacy ... he will either prove or disprove an outsider can work.

 

When GWB won I thought he couldn't really screw things up. Then 9/11 happened and basically any GOP policy was greenlit with almost no obstruction. It got us the Iraq War, the Patriot Act, Bush tax cuts and a deregulated stock market that needed to be saved from TARP lest the global economy go under.

I fear something catastrophic happening resulting in a bunch of GOP policies being greenlit with almost no obstruction from within their own party. They control all the branches of government. Roe v. Wade could get overturned. This would cause crime to go back up for the following decades like it's been demonstrated crime has gone down the past few decades since Roe v. Wade passed. Women who wish to undergo the procedure will need to make trips to Canada and Mexico instead. The travel time and expenses alone would screw over most women who couldn't afford all the trouble. I could see gay marriage overturned again screwing over basic human rights of others.

A Hillary presidency may not have done a whole lot but it would have at least provided some form of government obstruction with the veto process. Now anything can get passed. I don't really expect new jobs to come back to the U.S. despite the promises from Trumps campaign. Again as a single white male I won't be affected but I do feel for minorities and women in the years ahead. That's worst case scenario.

Truthfully I don't expect to be personally affected at all outside of health insurance premiums still being a major issue even if Obamacare does get repealed. I just expect the millions of people with pre-existing health conditions to be screwed over instead.

 

My biggest fear is that in 8 years, when President Trump leaves office, that his successor does not live up to his legacy.

Our country is about to start winning folks. On a scale that we haven't seen in quite a long time.

 

And don't forget the 'Bad Hombres' better watch their back as well. No pun intended.

 

All of this I agree with.

One thing though...it's much harder to take things away. While we can sit here and go "Yeah Roe V Wade, gay marriage, goodbye." it's going to be much harder to take that away from people who have benefited from the rulings.

 

This is a legit post .... Its obvious that you comprehend how our government is designed with checks and balances.

With the GOP controlling the House , Senate , Presidency and an almost certainty of an advantage in the SCOTUS ... there is the possibility of the greenlighting of (R) policy. .... Then again , I wonder how much support Trump has within the party. We have to remember how much opposition he had within his own party.


My biggest concern of a Hillary presidency was the SCOTUS ending up with a lopsided liberal advantage and especially an attack on the 2nd amendment. You have legit concerns .... regardless of your party affiliation.

 

As I stated above , both of those decisions were decided by a conservative leaning court.

I don't believe we revisit either of them .... nor any of the other decided civil rights decisions.

 

It would have been If Republicans didn't shoot it down.

 

Back up that statement with something other than opinion.


ACA is downright theft from the middle class .... especially the younger people who have no need for healthcare insurance , they just get to foot the bill.

 

I'm agreeing with you, even if he nominates the most right wing crazy christian Justice he can find...it's going to take huge balls to take that away from people and the backlash will be swift and heavy for the public. I don't think they'll do what is feared here. I think the Justices also take their job seriously and try to be fair despite whatever biases they have.

It's much easier to keep freedoms away from people, much harder to snatch them away after they've had a taste of it.

 

youre fkin crazy to think that the republican party will turn ther backs on trump. They will have so much pressure from their fanbase to cave in to whatever the fk he wants.

 

Wouldn't matter If I did. You are set in your ways.

Good day.

 

Insurance is never needed until it's needed.

 

Not so much the damages that he can do personally, but that only sycophants and idiots (usually synonymous) can stomach working for a boss like Drumpf.

I'm afraid we have just unleashed the Queen termite on our institution of government.

 

It would only be theft if emergency rooms can turn you away when you're sick and can't pay.

But you can of course pray that you never get sick. I suppose that's an alternative.

 

You are right .... No argument there.


Thing is , when I was 25 I had the option NOT to buy that insurance policy .... Now you don't have that option , YOU get to pay for ME.

Back when I was 25 , insurance rates for someone healthy and 25 was .... DIRT Cheap and that guy who was 50+ paid a small fortune. Now .... You young'uns get to foot the bill for my old ass ..... or that guy with the pre-existing condition.


I don't mind paying my fair share (Or doing without) .... Do you mind contributing to my care?? Yeah , that's what I thought.
