If Trump were to be president, what would happen to the world?

It is very hard to predict what would if any candidate became President. I assume you are asking because of some of the statements Mr. Trump has made about immigration from Mexico, allowing Muslims into the United States, and taking in some of the refugees from Syria.

It is very hard to predict what would if any candidate became President. I assume you are asking because of some of the statements Mr. Trump has made about immigration from Mexico, allowing Muslims into the United States, and taking in some of the refugees from Syria.


It is important to remember that our government is based on a system where the powers of the three branches are very distinct. There are certain jobs that only a specific branch can do. Additionally, we have a system of checks and balances where each branch is able to control the other branches to some degree. Thus, just because a candidate says he will do certain things doesn’t mean those things will actually occur since the other branches must be involved in making the actions happen and determining if those actions are constitutional.


In many presidential campaigns, the winning candidate has pledged to do certain things if he got elected. However, those things didn’t occur because the other branches wouldn’t support those actions. It is possible the same thing could happen if Mr. Trump became President.


Finally, until a person assumes an elected office, it may seem to be very easy to say certain things will occur. However, once in office, other factors that weren’t previously considered or known may alter the person’s thinking and actions. Thus, it is very difficult to say what would happen to our country if Mr. Trump became President.
