14 Scary Things That Could Happen If Donald Trump Becomes President

A great wall to look at.

You've already broken your New Year's resolutions. You've lost the holiday cheer. And the day before, Donald Trump fulfilled his promise to "make America great again" when he was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States. Considering it's extremely cost-prohibitive to emigrate to Canada, your only option is to live under the policies Trump has outlined as part of his primary campaign.

Mosques are things of the past.

While we know it would be hard for many of his bombastic proclamations to be signed into law, here are just a few worst-case scenarios.

You wanted a great America, you got one. In fact, America now has one of the biggest tourist attractions, the 10th Wonder of the Modern World — the Great Wall of Mexico. Obviously jealous of the architectural grandeur and touristic popularity of the Great Wall of China, Trump's promise to build a wall was made a reality and now not only do Americans have national security, we have a great photo op.

It's no secret that ever since Trump's particular brand of Islamophobia has been introduced to the public, there's been a noticeable upswing in anti-mosque attacks and anti-Islam violence. Whether it's leaving severed pigs' heads or wrapping doorknobs in bacon, 2015 is the worst year of anti-mosque sentiment on record.

Freedom of the press is curtailed— a First Amendment right.

This will only get worse.

In case you haven't noticed, Trump kind of openly despises the media. And while we do have freedom of the press in America, there are plenty of ways Trump has found ways to lawfully suppress the press, like excluding certain members of the press from his conferences.

The world will begin a slow, toxic meltdown never before witnessed in human history.

Which, hey, probably rings a bell if you're Jorge Ramos.

We hope you like polar bears and toxic water because you'll be seeing a lot more of both. Without the federal Environmental Protection Agency, many of the natural and manmade disasters Americans face could be even more devastating.

Getting an abortion will be impossible.

Think Flint, Michigan, without any plan to address it or global warming gone haywire.

Trump actually doesn't hate Planned Parenthood. In fact, he's acknowledged they do a lot of good when it comes to making sure women get screenings for breast cancer and cervical cancer.

Political correctness will save us all.

But, he'd still defund it faster than you can say, "But they do so much more!"

rump has had it up to here with political correctness. Under a Trump presidency, Americans can finally feel free to say what's on their mind without repercussion. Don't believe the hype, political correctness is not killing comedy.

No more marriage equality.

In fact, science tells us that political correctness is good for you. And if science doesn't convince you, what about the fact that political correctness is a wrong term — it's just calling people what they want to be called and not being offensive.

The burdens of marriage — an expensive ceremony, name-changing drama and the potential for divorce — have been lifted off LGBTQ communities' shoulders once and for all thanks to President Trump, who fulfilled his promise to overturn marriage equality.

Hey, people of color, hope you like even more policing.

Without the tulle-lined burden of marriage, gays are able to fulfill their next duties: We've been drafted to work in Trump's official work camps where we make Trump-themed memorabilia!

While you're hard pressed to find a Republican who doesn't believe in law and order, Trump has actually put his love of police into action, using them to throw out protesters of his increasingly rowdy rallies.

The Department of Education is just — bye.

Even though Black Lives Matter has made police brutality a cornerstone of its organizing, and the police killed 1,134 black youth in 2015, Trump has promised to "give power back to the police" because of "rampant" crime.

Sure, there are a lot of problems with the Common Core.

The world will hate us.

But Trump's assertion to cut the Department of Education would lead to a lot of other problems: no more college Pell Grants, no one to enforce civil rights laws, no one to check rampant inequality, no one to check racial or gender disparities — the list goes on.

Aside from a best friendship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Trump is already pretty bad at making friends of international leaders. A Mexican ex-president has used profanity to say what he thinks of Trump's idea of a wall — and that Mexico should pay for it.

Trump will resurrect Antonin Scalia via Santeria. And he will make Mexico pay for it.

And we all know what Trump thinks of China. The sad part is that Trump's bad America PR campaign will come right after America's image abroad is finally doing better after a mid-2000s dip.

Trump misses Scalia, especially because his death may have thwarted his chance to overturn marriage equality. Maybe through the power of Santeria, Trump will revive Scalia and act his will on the American people.

When Trump is president, the Second Amendment will come first.

There are definitely some people in Trump's rallies who could help.

It's all about jobs and freedom, you see. Guns bring manufacturing jobs and help Americans exercise their Second Amendment rights.

Hope you enjoy your measles.

Now, all you "right-wingin', bitter-clingin', proud clingers" of your guns, your god and your religion can have it all.

Here's a concerning combination — Trump is an anti-vaxxer. Now, when common diseases that we've worked to fight like measles come back, we won't have Obamacare to help us either.

You won't be able to support your family of four.

He wants to dismantle the historic Affordable Care Act ASAP.

Trump has every intention of keeping the minimum wage at $7.25 an hour, which means that a person trying to get ahead in the United States can expect an income of $13,926.83 after taxes for an entire year. While some cities and states are joining the "Fight for $15" minimum wages and Canada is experimenting with basic income, that will not happen in the good ole USA under President Trump. Jokes aside, the consequences to poor people, immigrants, LGBTQ people, people of color, women, Muslims and more could be disastrous.
