1 Probably not, but I worry about NATO and our Pacific alliances. I think he's willing to completely change our treaty partners.

2 The wall won't happen, at least not in four years. He'll claim fencing and increased patrols/surveillance was what he meant all along.

3 The second part might happen, but at the expense of cozying up to Russia.

4 See #1. He's been boasting about pissing off allies for two years.

5 LOL He just recently called for a ban on government funding of alternative energies.

6 Double LOL His tax plan alone adds nearly 1 trillion a year to the deficit and he's also calling for lots of increased spending.

7 ? But after almost eight years of expansion I would expect a recession soon.
