Doomsday donald. I can predict this about his presidency

I cannot predict how bad things will get when trump takes office. I can predict this. His presidency will be dysfunctional and chaotic for these reasons.

He disagrees on many issues with his cabinet and with republicans in congress. Thats a big problem.
He has a big mouth. That is going to cause big problems. A tweet could cause chaos in the stock market. It could start a war.
He is a serial liar. That will catch up to him.
He believes in threatening people to try and get his way. That will not work when dealing with other countries.
He will not be concerned with oversight of his own people. He will not know whats going on behind his back.
He does not know or care about american or world history. That's scary.
He believes life itself is a business deal. He has a strange view of the world.



He changes his mind in a split second without thinking it through.
His biggest concern in life is his image and money.
He believes he is smarter than everyone. That will kick his ass sooner or later.
He has made countless enemies in congress, the press and the CIA.
He does not believe he makes mistakes. He may have made the biggest mistake in his life running for president.

In all honesty, does anybody here think trump can overcome all of what i listed and be a good president. Am i being too extreme in my views of trump?

... has all the impulse control of a rabid mongoose.

I have no doubt many of your predictions will see the light of day.

1) When he says "bend over", Ryan and McConnell can't seem to move fast enough to comply.
2) He could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his followers wouldn't care.
3) He has a deal with Congress that he can do anything he wants as long as he signs whatever they send him
4) He has the KGB to carry out any illegal act he or they decide to commit.
Outside of all that, I guess it will be chaos
