The economy has been crashing more and more as time goes on but Trump's plans sounds like they'll push things into new a level.

What will happen to Trump, the US or the world? Trump, I believe, will get all the blame, probably be impeached (only if he messes around too much with the American Elite and really breaks the country) and jailed (again) to “teach him a lesson”, then retire and spend the rest of his years (probably 2 years) living in Florida or somewhere like Argentina. The US will go into a huge decline and will probably lose all its colonies (Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, Guantanamo, etc...) and military bases, I don't think it will break up into different states, but I can see Hawaii seeking independence if things get really bad, there will also be a lot of far-right terrorist attacks, but I can also see the unions gaining some power in the US. China will take over from the US as the world's superpower, which will be an improvement. I think life for those living in the Global North will be difficult for a few years, but things will probably stabilize.

Inshallah, and I’m saying that as a US American.

I dont think things will get stabilized what with global warming likely to put a lot of pressure on the developing economies of the world.
