A Look at a Hypothetical Trump Presidency

Let’s look in our crystal ball and see what kind of President Donald Trump would be.

The last few weeks have been rough for The Donald. Sure, he very specifically called a whole nation a bunch of criminals and rapists and then lost several lucrative business deals, but what common American man hasn’t had those troubles? He’s just a regular guy, telling it like is.

Plus, he’s a successful businessman! Who better to get our economy back on track than that? After all, it was Mitt Romney’s savvy business acumen that got him elected in 2012. Sure, unemployment is the lowest its been in seven years but don’t pay attention to the facts and numbers behind the curtain.

I mean, sure Trump’s companies have filed for bankruptcy FOUR separate times. But he came through it, didn’t he? He only lost other people’s money, not his own. Now that’s talent. He’s truly a paragon with lessons we can all learn from.

For example, fucking over your employees. It’s a pretty great way to stay wealthy and Trump has that shit down. According to a Bloomberg Business article published today, not a single employee gets 401(k) contributions their first year working for Trump. You’re hired in September and fired next August? Guess what? You’re shit out of luck for your retirement money.

And even if you somehow stay on for more than a year, there’s no guarantee Trump won’t simply suspend employer contributions to the retirement fund, like he did from March 1, 2009 to June 30, 2012. A guy supposedly worth $8.9 billion (spoiler alert: he’s lying) can’t fork over a penny. The rich don’t stay rich by being good employers. They do it by exploiting people.

But those are compliments! These qualities are what makes him such a great candidate. So why are people whining? A Trump presidency would be great! Let’s take a look at how it might go.

November 8, 2016 – Donald Trump wins in a landslide over Democratic nominee Lincoln Chafee. Chafee meekly thanks the Donald for gracing him with his presence during the campaign season and admits his campaign slogan “We Should All Go Over to Metric, Guys . . . Guys?” was a bit of a miss. The Donald meanwhile, has Chafee burned at the stake.
