It will be a crazy world under Trump

Trump leads the Republican for the White House

It is only a matter of months before the world’s biggest economy gets a new president, and it will either be Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton.  Although, the world under the leadership of Trump will be characterised by jokes, trivia, and mocking, it will not be a safe place for anyone or anything. There is likelihood of an emergence of wars , or rather, third World War and a possible world economic recession triggered by Trump.

 

Here are a few possibilities AFRICA AGOA

According to the International Trade Administration, the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act trade between United States (US) and Sub- Saharan Africa totalled 52.1 billion, and 18 percent decrease from 2013.

While US exports to the world grew by 2.8 percent, US exports to SSA (mostly composed of machinery and aircraft) increased by six percent, reaching $25.4 billion and accounting for only 1.6 percent of total US exports to the world. The top five African destinations for US products were South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, Ethiopia, and Kenya, says the report.  Most of the US exports to Africa are military equipment and aircraft.

 

What Trump is likely to say about AGOA once in the White House

‘Folks, we all know that Africans are lazy, they only want to eat and make love. African leaders are corrupt. We should stop this, besides, we do not need the Africans. They should take their son Barrack and learn from him.’

A Newsweek magazine columnist wrote: “But Trump’s circus act is no longer funny. Not just because Trump keeps spewing increasingly outrageous venom at people of colour. And not just because he now wants to ban all Muslims from coming to the United States. But because millions of Republican voters out there in America are eating it up.

The author further said that Trump’s racism is not new as it can be traced back several decades.

Trump spent several months in 2011 questioning the authenticity of President Barrack Obama’s birth certificate and demanding to see the president’s college transcripts.

 

Middle East

In 2015, Iran signed a deal with world powers on its nuclear programme that led to the lifting of economic sanctions that brought the country to its knees. The Republicans did not welcome the deal saying it was too soft on the Iran regime. Three weeks ago the country tested its missile capacity. There is also the biblical conflict between Palestine and Israel, for which solution has evaded both the Arab World, the United Nations, the European Union, and the US. There is not solution in sight, but Trump is likely to bring it forward. Trump has made it clear that Muslims hate Americans and should not be allowed access into his country.

 

Once inside the White House

‘Go and get me those guys, I mean those who wear the scuffs even on hot days. Infact, there is not need to talk to them, I think we should just crush that country and seal it with concrete. What do you think folks?’

‘Palestinians should know that they will never be equal to Israelis, and they should stop sticking their noses in our business. I am going to clean this mess once and for all,’ Trump is likely to say.

 

North Korea

The Business Insider reported this about how Trump views the North Korea leader Kim Jong Un who has been in the news recently following a hydrogen bomb test and threats against the US:

“If you look at North Korea, this guy, I mean, he’s like a maniac, OK? And you’ve got to give him credit. How many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals.”

“And all of a sudden — and you know it’s pretty amazing when you think of it — how does he do that? Even though it is a culture and it’s a cultural thing, he goes in, he takes over, and he’s the boss.”

 

“It's incredible. He wiped out the uncle. He wiped out this one, that one. I mean, this guy doesn't play games. And we can't play games with him. Because he really does have missiles. And he really does have nukes.”
What will Trump say once in the White House: 
‘Folks, go and capture that boy, bring him here, I want to have a word or two with him. Seriously. We can’t allow this boy to do as he pleases anymore. He must get our suckerpunch.’
TRUMP’S QUOTES ON NORTH KOREA AND CHINA
'Here's what we do. We tell China,' Trump said. 'We rebuilt China. They have taken so much of our money with trade. They have taken everything. They have taken our jobs, our money. ... They've taken so much. And literally, it's one of the great thefts in the history of the world, what they've done to our country.'
RUSSIA
A member of the controversial Russian pop music ban the Pussy Riot had this to say, about Trump and Vladimir Putin heading world powers.  Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova has branded Russian President Vladimir Putin and aspiring U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump “dangerous clowns” who have much in common.
“I think it will be a disaster if Trump will win the election,” she said, calling Trump's idea to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. “disgusting.” “I will try to do what I can to prevent it,” she added.
Tolokonnikova feels human nature will be faced with extinction if the two share the same stage as presidents “Yes, go for it. But I don't want to see two dangerous clowns as presidents of big countries.” And warned that the U.S. should vote for Trump if it wanted its “own Putin.”
“When Putin came to his first term or second term, nobody [in Russia] actually thought that this is serious. Everybody was joking about it. And nobody could imagine that after five, six years, we would have a war in Ukraine, annexation of Crimea, and these problems in Syria.”
She continued; “Everybody is joking about Donald Trump now, but it’s a very short way from joke to sad reality when you have a really crazy president speaking about breaking every moral and logic norm. So I hope that he will not be president. That’s very simple.”  
Business Insider reports: “Trump also refers regularly to how he will demolish any and all critics and obstacles, from entire nations like Mexico to elected officials like Speaker Paul Ryan. He doesn’t talk about boring things like legality or procedure or how any of these threats and promises will be carried out. Before anyone can even ask, he’s on to the next audacious claim. “It will be taken care of!” “He’d better watch out!” “We’ll take the oil!” “They’ll pay for it all!” “It will be amazing!” Bold, decisive, fact-free, impossible, who cares? His followers love it.
During the campaign Trump has talked about how he would get along very well with Putin and I have no doubt this is true. 
And if you think liberals like big government, just wait until you see an authoritarian! Trump’s first war would be on the Bill of Rights.
If Vladimir Putin’s endorsement of him isn’t enough to convince you that Trump is the worst possible choice for president, nothing will, the author warned.
