15. If the world is smart

If our allies are smart, they're going to start forming alliances against America so they can protect themselves from the economic and eventually military aggression we're going to start showing.

We have a fascist regime running things and they are consolidating power, after they've done away with the legal system they'll seize our elections. But fascist regimes historically have never limited their power grabs to their own borders. Military aggression will most certainly be the result if Trump and his cabal stay in power long enough, and they will target our allies too.
