Now's the time to get your predictions in if you haven't already guys. What does the new pres's administration mean for:

ISIS
Obamacare
The US economy - taxes on the wealthy, wealth inequality, Wall St. regulation...
NATO
Mexico - will the wall get built? Who will pay for it?
Russia, China, Israel/Palestine...
Syria
the Iran deal
Climate change
His own impeachment - over links to Russia, or some other scandals?
The fate of US democracy...

and everything else?

Don't know about all that yet. To early to tell...

I went down about 3 rungs on the social ladder starting about 8 months after Obama was elected and still haven't recovered. I'm going to guess that in the next 8 years things won't get any worse for me. I'm hopeful they start to turn around quickly.

Nowhere left to go but up!

It will be the Bush yirz plus the Nixon yirz condensed into 6 months. Only after the crash, there wont be a recovery.

I was one of Bush's biggest bashers here, and I was predicting the housing market crash years before it happened here. People said I was crazy about that, btw...

Still though... I made about 1/3 of a million dollars while Bush Jr. was president. In the 8 years that Obama has been president I haven't even broke 50k.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Nice predictions G.

I better play my own game, in no particular order...

Scandals
This is a presidency that will be dogged by scandals. Conflict of interest over Trump's businesses, dodgy former business dealings, sexual harassment accusations... and most of all - Russia. Trump's ties to Putin (or Putin's ties on Trump), real or suspected, will overshadow all of his dealings with Russia.

Russia
Watch for Putin's US foreign policy wishlist:

- Scrapping of sanctions
- Hanging Ukraine out to dry, abandoning the country to Putin's war of aggression, which could heat up
- Rhetorical attacks on NATO and the EU (already happening), and weakening of commitments to the transatlantic alliance
- De-funding/tightening editorial control over US-funded broadcasters such as VOA and RFE/RL which counter Russian propaganda in Europe
- A "united front in the war against ISIS"

and so on.

The US economy
Bushanomics 2.0.

Israel
The 2-state solution will fade into an impossibility due to the expanding of Israeli settlements.

Some others I'm keeping a wait and see approach...
