Indeed, the end of America as we know it is upon us. Why else is Twitter filled with #RipAmerica hashtags? The potential disasters that could arise under Donald Trump are just as shocking as Trump getting elected in the first place.
American values are already going by the wayside. Inequalities will widen. Even more hate will spread. All kinds of progress will not only be halted but will be entirely reversed. That includes progress made for women to have control of their own bodies, as well as curbing the damaging environmental effects of climate change. Race relations will suffer along with religious freedoms. Constitutional rights will be lost. A Great Depression and another World War all loom as potential disasters in the distance.
We see how America got it wrong here. It can be easy to confuse Trump with the more kind-hearted lasagna-loving Garfield (spoiler alert: more jokes poking fun at Donald Trump’s need to tan like a basic are upcoming). Ahh, Donald Trump. More like Donald Dump, because America is, quite possibly, going to utter sh*t. Or, if you prefer, going to hell in an Ivanka Trump handbag.

If there’s one stereotypical promise that gets voters all wound up and ready to cast in your favour, it’s promising them a bunch of tax cuts. Trump has, in fact, promised the largest tax cuts of any president since the 1980s. But there are always two sides to any coin, and this coin has a lot hidden beneath it. Simply put, the loss of tax revenue needs to be made up somewhere, and there doesn’t seem to be a clear plan about where the 7 trillion lost dollars will be made up. Yes, you heard that right: $7-trillion. The US could probably avoid the tax cuts and do something lavish with that money, like buy Canada or something. Think of the influx of maple syrup and Tim Hortons donuts. The sugar high alone should be enough to keep Americans happy and make them forget about the proposed tax cuts. Plus the US would then own a bunch of prime land that’s only covered by snow for about half the year. Besides, the tax cuts would benefit the top 1% more than anyone else, as usual, so we say, “Bring on the maple syrup!” In short, the gap between the rich and the poor widens yet again… Then again, did you expect anything different from a billionaire?
