    Why are people so afraid of Trump becoming President?

    Do they think he might do good and make the country great again.  The U.S. is no longer a world leader in much of any thing.  Some countries call us a third world nation now.  Others say the U.S. can not be trusted anymore.

      How is artificially inflating the stock market with manipulation and tax gutting of the American GDP 'making Murica great again'? If we taxed CASH FLOW instead of EARNINGS, humans could live TAX FREE and Corporations would pay less than they do now because with NO EXEMPTIONS< there would be no tax litigation and thus, NO LEGAL COSTS in time or money.

      Think about it, US carmakers spend 400% more in fighting seatbelts than it would have cost them to install them on day 1. The invested even MORE TAX DEDUCTIBLE LEGAL FEES in fighting efficiency and quality standards.

      We've TRIED deregulation and got RECESSION after RECESSION after RECESSION.

      WAKE THE FRIG UP!!!!!

      OVER REGULATION DOESN'T STRANGLE BUSINESS!!! China has been cleaning our clocks for more than 2 decades as the MOST regulated economy on earth. They even leveraged Elaine Chao's husband to fork over ALL AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY to the Chinese for access to Chinese markets for US Paper Entities. NOT FOR CITIZENS or HUMANS, just for those shell corp. contracts.

      How does it feel to have paid Mitch McConnell  $37 MILLION DOLLARS A TERM (plus all the money he could launder tax free through his campaign) to sell out you, your children, neighbors, co-workers and friends? For 7 terms = $259,000,000 in checks made out ot MITCH McCONNELL.

      WHAT did you get for your vote? Corrupted healthcare, elections and defense.

      Are you getting your money's worth in taxes?
      Then WHY pay them?

    Two reasons, I may be wrong...
    First, him being President breaks the status quo - someone like him with no political standing, was never percieved as a threat or a potential candidate especially among the elites.
    Secondly the ever so biased, left leaning msm projected him as satan, who would destablise and destroy the nation and break the American hegemony, hence a whole lot were decieved.

    An opinion from an outsider (Aussie)  I think Donald will 'bring back the jobs.'   But he'll have to be really savage with those big companies which get most of their work done overseas and then import the goods back into America for sale.   They're thinking of their shareholder profits, not of the average American citizen's welfare.

    To me - and I'm not really into Economics - this would mean massive  'protection' of US industries with workers working in the US, by way of huge tariffs.   If this works, it'll mean Americans with jobs - and remember, there should be a lot of jobs, if those 'protectionist' policies work. US citizen will pay more for their goods and services.  But they will be all working again, US made production will be up, and so will sales to the US citizens.  Americans will HAVE the money to pay for the goods produced in their own country.

    Moreover, the American economy is big enough and variegated enough to go it alone.

    Done right, you'll have full employment, a booming economy...and lot of overseas countries grinding their teeth.

      If I were Prez, I'd declare the NRA a terrorist organization and put all members, employees and donors on the NO FLY LIST as well. I'd repurpose the DEA, pardon all non-violent drug offenders and have all those agents investigating Political corruption in ALL PARTY committees. EVERY campaign bundler would have to register EVERY TRANSACTION so we know which banks to BLACKLIST with Iran/Venezuela level sanctions, asset forfeitures and commerce restrictions.

    If you spend all day everyday listening to the same people with the same view, then all you will know is what they want you to know. With the left that means a yearlong hate fest for Trump. This includes the both the manipulation of that Trumps as said (or tweeted) and what he has said outright (talking tweeting gaffe machine). The left wanted their people (and others) to vote against Trump (if not for Hillary). To do this they needed to paint Trump with every label they could think of. This includes anything said in the international press that will paint a negative light on Trump’s election. This has led people to believe that the election of Trump will bring about the end of Society and even the world. To them Trump is the devil (even the atheists), Hitler and Bill Cosby all rolled up in one. If that was you wouldn’t you fear his presidency?

    Go back 8 years and you will see how many thought the election of Obama was the end of the country. An election we would never recover from just like the election of Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Nixon……………

    Also people fear change (congress has a 96% incumbent reelection).

    A lot of people believe they have a lot to lose. Gays will lose many of their rights, 20,000,000 will lose health insurance, women will lose the right to the health care they need at PP, and Muslims feel they will be targeted or made to register and their Mosques put under surveillance.

    The campaign that the donald ran was one of hate and fear. Fear of immigrants, complete disrespect for women, Muslims are terrorists and so on. That does instill fear in people.

    It can also be that they simply don’t want to live in a country with those kinds of values. However, it is usually short lived and Americans can’t just turn up at the border and move to Canada because they don’t like their new president.

    I am not now nor ever have been afraid of Trump. What I loathe about this man is his ideas that he is the world's greatest, most intelligent, most successful.

    First, if he is the world's greatest, I guess that leaves out a great man like Eisenhower, right? If he is the most intelligent, Einstein must be a piker. If he is the most successful, why did he need to borrow money from Russian loan sharks? Even Madoff managed a 17 year crook streak.

    Donald Trump is a Mommy's boy whom his Daddy had to separate back in his preteens. He is also a clone of McCarthyism's Roy Cohn, a desperately ruthless man who died alone and with no one to care.

    Donald Trump believes, thanks to his Mommy Mary Ann, that he can and MUST be allowed to violate the laws and do whatever he pleases. And whatever he pleases is to cheat, lie and steal. He stole $35,000 from every one of the students who bought his line of BS that his "Trump University" was accredited. He ended up settling out of court for $25 million. He also got a FinCEN U.S. Treasury fine for allowing his Middle Eastern high rollers to launder money through his 2 NJ casinos. Another $22 million fine.

    How did he pay that $22 million fine? Like all CEOs always do, fire all employees to whom wages were owed, refuse to pay contractors (stealing) who built those casinos and then running for president so he could prostitute his TRUMP name.

    Our country IS the greatest nation in the world. We are the shinning beacon of the world. As a matter of fact, our beacon shines brighter than ever before. And here are the reasons why.

    1) We have just experienced the most polarized nastiest election campaign in our history. And yet, we peacefully resolved our differences.

    2) If one wants another reason why we are the greatest nation in the world, one need look no further than the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Especially the elegant words of Thomas Jefferson:

    “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness….”

    I think Trump is unlikely to make anything great, except for a mess.

    He is not realistic, and his policy proposals quite simply don't add up.  His cabinet picks are not, for the most part, known to have much expertise in the areas which they are expected to administer, so they aren't likely to help him out much.

    I expect to see political division and social unrest, a ballooning Federal deficit, infighting between the branches of government, and an uncertain and vacillating foreign policy which basically careens from disaster to disaster.

    Worst of all, he will do everything he can, according to almost all indications so far, to reverse all progress on fighting climate change, just when the world was on the verge of effective--if not yet sufficient--action on the problem.  This couldn't come at much worse a time, because after 20 years marked mostly by dithering on the issue, we have a very short time frame to reduce our carbon emissions--just a few years, at current emission rates.

    It's not fear so much as it is disgust.  His whole platform was built on lies and discrimination, his business model on fraud.  And to put someone with such thin-skin into the most powerful position on the planet is risky, to say the least.

    I've liked the fact that Trump scrapped the new Air Force One project because if he's going to cut taxes, spending will need to be cut.  So he's at least proven smarter than Bush Jr. so far in this thinking.

    But he's so unstable that that is the scary part about having him as president.

    Because of his public point of view towards women, that they are objects and not humans. Since society has evolved not many people think like that anymore, and some people didn't want a president with no respect for women. They didn't want their kids to grow up with a president like that.

    A lot of my "friends" hate him because they say he is going to start a nuclear war with North Korea or Russia. In my opinion, he is going to strengthen relations with Russia, since he did business with them sometime is his past. and with North Korea, he will not take any crap from them and will not back down unlike our commander in chief right now. Trump and Pence are going to do great things for America, rest of America needs to stop being so butt hurt that crooked Hillary didn't win the election that she so thought she had in the bag. Is Trump perfect? No, but he is a much better candidate than the Clinton's being back in the White House.

    Trump does not believe in climate change, the biggest threat human kind faces today.
    Trump has a huge conflict of interests which make the US fragile and weak. Countries only have to use Trumps businesses as a leverage to get what they want. Personal gain and the fate of a country are to close for comfort.
    Trump got more then he bargened for and suddenly understands that there are far more intelligent politicians who will wind him around their fingers.

    I think people are scared because of his persona and reputation as a businessman that he created. Some feel that he might create more issues than solutions. I feel that because he is a successful businessman this provides him the skills necessary to grease some palms and make some deals that can potentially be great for the country. Look, not all decisions will be great, but truth be told, every presidency have made very stupid decisions during their terms. As long as the goal of providing the best solutions to an ongoing issue of how to sustain and maintain the country's infrastructure is met, then ultimately he did his job.

    2) If one wants another reason why we are the greatest nation in the world, one need look no further than the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Especially the elegant words of Thomas Jefferson:

Donald Trump is also wild, erratic, and totally unhinged given how he is susceptible to these kind of meltdowns on Twitter. As Charles Schumer said, America cannot afford to have a Twitter Presidency. I have been afraid of Donald Trump mainly because of his extremely bitter and negative campaign rhetoric.

    Actually, out of all of the Republican front runners for their ticket, Trump was the least frightening. There is a 50/50 chance that the Dems could get him to agree on their issues, which would not exist if any of the other Republicans won. If Ted Cruz had won both the primaries and the general election, he would have done everything that Trump promised to do. The wall, exporting mexicans and muslims, repealing Obama Care without a replacement, having Hillary arrested and tried for a frivolous e-mail infraction, make racial profiling a nation wide standard, put a justice on the supreme court that believes in suppressing constitutional rights, etc. The difference is that Trump's promises were all just to get elected, and he will probably back out of most of them. And I think Cruz is the candidate most likely to have become a dictator.

    There are legitimate reasons to fear Trump. His habit of lying and/or believing in fantasy facts. His refusal to admit when he is wrong, His inability to hold his tongue. His refusal to take the blame when he makes mistakes, but instead passes the blame to his employees. His habit of breaking agreements and contracts, which he thinks is smart renegotiating tactics. All of this could lead to disastrous diplomacy in a world where we need as many allies as we can get. His love affair with Putin is the least of our problems.

    Yes, the rest of the world should indeed be scared.

    The fact that Trump is so impulse and egocentric, plus the fact that he cannot ever provide factual answers to support and substantiate his opinions (which he describes as being "policies") is hugely concerning.

    I am normally hugely in favour of any world leader having a successful track record in business, because running a country shares many similarities to running a company. But in Trump's case, the world and America should be concerned and scared, particularly when it is the military that he would be looking to use to reinforce his impulsive decisions. And that means the lives of thousands of young Americans will once again be on the line.

    What concerns me personally even more at the moment is that there are so many people buying into Trump which demonstrates a similar impulsiveness, rather than a desire to make an educated and informed decision. And I say this regardless of whether he was a Republican or Democrat, because you have loonies on both sides of the table.

    But the other thing that amazes me is that there are so many different people wanting to run for Republican nomination. When I see them all lined up talking, it seems to be all about me, me , me. I remember the now famous words of JF Kennedy "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".

    I am afraid of Trump because he has openly mocked people with disabilities, stated that Veterans suffering from PTSD are "weak," and threatened to take away services that help veterans after they return from duty. I am a person with a disability: Spina Bifida. In 1997, the VA concluded a study that showed that Vietnam Veterans had/have an increased chance of having children with severe birth defects (such as Spina Bifida) due to assumed exposure to Agent Orange. As a result of this study, the US Veterans Administration has provided me with a monthly stipend and pays for the vast majority of my medical expenses (I've had over 40 surgeries, so there have been plenty of medical expenses). I cannot work due to my health issues, so I depend on that monthly stipend. With our President-elect's attitude toward veterans, I am afraid I will lose not only the monthly stipend, but also my healthcare.

    It's not just you — we were born to fear predators and weirdos and Donald Trump fits the bill of a psychopath!

    Generally..

    The real danger Trump poses is the undermining of US politics. His campaign was based on a divisive politics of identity. Ideals of equity, equal rights, diversity & inclusion were submerged under the weight of a rhetoric that raised racial & ethnic tensions and inflamed passions against imagined enemies — Mexican immigrants, Chinese exporters, Muslim refugees.

    There are numerous noticeable pointers of why individuals have each privilege to be scared about a potential Donald Trump administration. These incorporate Trump's example of misanthropic, obviously supremacist conduct. One cannot look at how Trump has treated women and not feel deep qualms about how his decision-making as the most powerful leader in the world would impact women/girls/those who love them. One cannot look at how Trump has discriminated against black people or encouraged hatred of immigrants and fear of Muslims without understanding that his policies would almost certainly be discriminatory on a scale no one has seen in the US since Jim Crow. One cannot look at how he encourages violence & targets freedom of the press without getting chills about how, were he to gain power, Trump would institutionalize those tendencies.

    Hypothetically...

    The political danger will be greatly magnified by Trump’s likely economic failure. He's coming to office as the putative leader of middle and lower classes who feel they have been left behind. He has raised their expectations in ways that he cannot meet. There is little chance that incomes at the middle and lower end of income distribution will receive a large boost under his policies. The manufacturing jobs that have left will not return no matter how tough Trump’s trade policies get. These jobs have disappeared for good, largely thanks to technological changes, and not trade. When the full scale of his economic disappointment sinks in sometime during his term, Trump may well react in the time-honored fashion of global populists like President Vladimir Putin of Russia. To keep his base mobilized & insulate himself from economic troubles, he may take shelter in an intensified form of the identity politics that worked so well for him during the presidential campaign. This would rip American society further apart along racial & ethnic cleavages.

    Presidency is not a hereditary prejudice or aristocracy, so who's to blame?

    It's difficult to believe that people voted this man into power.  I am still having such a difficult time with this.  I normally don't really care about political structure, because I always trust in our democracy and our unified government no matter which party winss.  I always vote for the better person I feel is qualified.  Not only has Trump shown through his campaign that he is ignorant, incapable of learning, not willing to bring people together, a bigamist, a prejudice, has so many bankruptcies, has screwed over literally all those people from his school with money, broken business deals.  He has brought his family as part of his cabinet in the White House. 
    He not only shows that he is ignorant of what is going to happen if he handles things the way he is handling them and what he is going to cause this country, he is causing hate and bigotry in this country, of the likes we haven't seen in a 100 years.  What is happening?  The people that have the control to keep his bigoted ass out of the white house failed the American people.  So your question is he going to make this country great again?  This country already is great.  Obama inherited it when all the crap that Bush got us into, Obama was able to create jobs, healthcare for everyone, he is graceful, dignified and intelligent and able to handle foreign affairs without making us look like a laughing stock.  The United States is a lot of things but we are not a 3rd world country  Look at what we do.  Don't believe what you hear.  You would do yourself some good if you researched a little before you ask question.

    It's not so much that people are afraid of him that worries me, it's that he's woefully unqualified for the job. Everyday, he does something to prove that he doesn't have the temperament, knowledge, or patience to do the job. I also suspect that his whole platform was more about getting revenge against Obama for slighting him at a banquet (after Trump did his birther thing). It seems his first order of the day (probably one real one) is to dismantle his legacy.
    The worst part of it is that he's so incompetent that he doesn't even realize it (It's known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect) He even seems to be oblivious to his own abysmal business management skills.
    Still, incompetence like this breeds despots and totalitarians (that parts is scary for me). He will believe he's right and will lash out at anyone who tries to correct him.

    Norma,
    Respectfully, I have to say that the follow-up to your question is the use of a fallacy of logic. To ask the question "Do they think he might do 'good'" is meant to denigrate people who answer this question as those who do not want what's "good for the country".  I mention that only because I think it's important for all of us to communicate in ways that have integrity.   

    However, I will answer your question anyway, and of course, with my own personal point of view. 

    There is one and only one reason I myself fear Trump:  the man, from indications based purely on my own experience, appears to ME to be mentally unstable - plain and simple.  If he were an acquaintance of mine, I would avoid interaction with him because I do fear erratic behavior based on what I perceive as views that are deviant from the rest of society and possibly pathological. 

    If indeed, he is mentally unstable, and only a team of psychiatrists might be able to prove that, men like him are not unheard of throughout the history of the world.  However, mental instability puts a nation at great risk.

    Any of the one or two good ideas he MIGHT have, in MY opinion, are overshadowed by the fact that they come from a person who APPEARS to be out of control of his own actions.  As indicated in his press conference, his view of ethical behavior is behavior that can't be documented!  That has never been a basis for ethics no matter what religion you follow. And that is exactly what he IMPLIED by telling us that he tells his staff on trips abroad to be careful of their actions because there are tiny cameras in every hotel room.  Again, that is not how I, or most Americans I believe, view ethical behavior.  If I were the person speaking at that press conference, I would be able to say, "I am known for telling my any member of my team that they are expected to have upstanding behavior at all times. Period."  I would go on to say, "Let's investigate the source of this salacious information, which I personally know to be untrue, so that we lessen the possibilities of this being inflicted on ANY member of our government now or in the future," Instead he chose to berate the messenger. 

    In my view, this is a very dangerous person because everything he says indicates to ME, mental instability and a view of ethics, morality, and the world as a whole, that is neither honorable nor admirable in my own code of morality.

This election would have been different if 46.9% of all eligible American voters weren't so disgusted by the choice between Clinton (corrupt sociopath) and Trump (con man narcissist) that they stayed home and did not vote at all. The voter turnout was horrendous. We COULD have had Bernie Sanders in the White House doing everything possible to help all Americans, but Bernie is back in the Senate as the only Congressional member worth his paycheck and perks as a senator--the only one who truly works and does so for all of us instead of being a corporate whore like all the rest in both Dem and GOP parties.  Okay--my rant's over, and I'm sure I will be disagreed with from both sides, but I really don't care.

    Because they are watching the wrong news about Trump, namely CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and therefore are being misinformed about what he is and who he is at his core.  People who don't like Trump take him literally, but not seriously.  People who support Trump take him seriously but not literally.  He is a good person at heart and wants to do great things for this country that has been so good to him.  Marriage takes two, okay?  If we only wanted someone who was married once, then we would have a small number of people to choose from for President.  I will not  even get into the personal lives and morals of the Clintons here, because it's too much to write about.   The Obama's personal lives are very questionable as well.  At least Trump's bankruptcies were personal and had to do with the business he was in at the time.  The man is worth about 9 billion dollars, funded his own campaign so he wouldn't be beholden to corrupt lobbyists, and wants to make the United States better for the working class, not keep people poor and dependent on the government to support them.  He doesn't need the corrupt and liberal press to get his messages out, and why shouldn't he defend himself against the lies they print about him???  As far as the people who don't like Trump crying in their coffee about him being the POTUS, just remember the reason they were so upset about Clinton losing is because they were lied to about her being ahead in the polls by tremendous amounts, and who were they lied to by???  The corrupt, one-sided liberal media who didn't care to report about or show the TENS OF THOUSANDS of people supporting Trump at his rallies!

      I have this picture in my head of Trump and his wife walking in the rain. Trump has a big umbrella, but he is only covering himself. His wife is soaking wet. To me this picture says it all.
      Trump is an Asperger patient without any ampathy.

    because the mainstream media has them in a frenzy over the lies about Trump becoming the next Hitler.  It is time for someone to call them and the lying left (Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Al Franken and the others   
    ) out for who they really are.

      What lies? If you can possibly state that you would have allowed Michelle Obama to pose nude in lesbian photos, please do. If you would have allowed President Obama to discriminate against Hick Religious Bible Thumpers, please do. Down with Trump.

    In my opinion the media has contributed to why people are afraid. Yes Trump did say some very shocking things along the way... However, much of what he said was twisted and reported out of its context. One only has to pull up the interviews and listen to them in total to realize much was misconstrued by media. Just my opinion...

      I have to disagree with you on it being twisted and misreported.  He did and spoke about a lot of things right infront of the camera.  How is that misreported?  no offense,

    I honestly think it will take more than a presidential decision to make this country great again! After burning bridges and spilling blood for years it will take a master plan to get everything back In order to gain other countries trust again.

      I don’t think his plans include fixing what other countries think. The apology tour was the last president’s thing. Trump just might want them to fear us. His slogan could have easily been “Make America Great in the Eyes of Americans Again.”

    I very much regretted having to vote for Trump.  I was still debating on not voting at all even while standing in line at the poll.  I kind of just closed my eyes and did the deed.  I did it for all of the people that I know.  Those people really believe in Trump but they don't know any better and the evidence is their support for Trump.  The only thing possibly worse would have been Clinton.  I am by no means a liberal nor a Democrat but I have to say if it weren't for her assuming she had the election in the bag I might have voted for her over Trump.  At least I sure considered it.  To be honest I am more disappointed in the American people than I am in the candidates themselves. In my opinion we as Republican's had some of the best choices for candidates that we've had in decades.  I am disgusted to this day but now on to your question about being afraid.  I am afraid I will regret my vote and I will have a sense of responsibility that is obviously not something other voters ever consider in this all about me me me world.

    Well, that's where I stand with President Elect Trump

    Because you have people out therein politics that want to take our country to far to the left including the national media. Mr. Trump will take back to the right and down the right side of the road. This the left dose not want to happen.

      Would you please explain how dividing the country as Trump has done is in any way goig to help you? You do realize that because of his combatant attitude he had 900,000 protestors around the world protesting his policies? Those protests are growing.

    I'm talking about Trump without beeing an american, but with my foreign perspective I would say that is not casual that Trump had been president of the United States. The fact of making america great, with an economic crisis behind and an incomlete legislature in matter of promises by the last president, put hopes in the figure of Donald Trump, a narcissistic man with an strange white-supremacy belief and descendant of the American big bourgeoisie. It's true that it's necessary to take care, but also we don't need to be absolutly afraid of him, because the institutions that regulate decision-making bodies can stop the wrong actions that he could do. It's the president of america, not the absolute king of the world. Who knows, maybe do something well.

    He scares me because he is an ego-maniac with  an exaggerated sense of self importance.
    How can we expect him  to respond properly to issues concerning someone other than himself?
    The unfortunate part is that we weren't given a better alternative choice.

      It could be argued that anyone who wants to be the American President is an ego-maniac and that might not be a bad thing.  His failures will be our failures just as his successes will be ours. An ego-maniac does not like to fail.
