Satellite Wrote:Flonne I do feel like some of the things Trump says are purposely exaggerated for his campaign or have no chance to pass the congress. The problem I see is that the world economy likes predictability. It's very difficult to know what kind of president Trump will be, how much he will listen to his advisors (and how good advisors he can get in the first place) etc.
As far as how this election could affect my own country, Clintons attitude when it comes to Russia worries me. We have an 833 mile border with Russia and tensions have increased in the baltic sea lately, with NATO country Norway in the north and baltic states in the south. Similarly though, Trump making some great deal with Putin doesn't sound too great either. We still have bad memories from a few decades ago.
Edit:
As for Trumps anti-vaccine positions:

Hillary has stated she WILL impose a no fly zone over Syria. That IS war with Russia, there is no other way to look at that, they will ignore the no fly zone and either she will look like a wimp for not enforcing it or she will be forced to take actions against them blatantly ignoring it (and probably publicizing it to futher taunt her, seeing as Putin has said there will be a war if Hillary is elected and it would be in his best interest if she starts it).
And I meant the anti-science comments, not the anti-vax. I don't think he will impose strict anti-vax at a state level, though, that seems to be his go-to for most issues, aside from illegals and maybe abortion (which, I am pro-life, but not exactly for the more popular "life starts at conception" reason. I feel like if a person is dumb enough to get knocked up even with all of the options available for contraception, they should be taught to deal with the consequences and not ignore them as has become standard in this country, the younger generation at this point thinks NOTHING should have a punishment if they are the ones doing it. This obviously excludes rape, but that should be obvious at this point; there are many people out there who even today are looking for adoption and there are long waitlists for adoptions, so if the mother doesn't want the child they should be educated on the adoption system so the child they don't want doesn't potentially become person who is statistically more likely to become a felon due to neglect or lack of father).
