I'd be extremely disappointed but proud of having voted for Gary Johnson or Jim Webb in 2016 against the progressives Trump and Clinton.

Indifferent.

I kind of like his reluctance compared to other republicans, to get involved militarily overseas.

I would consider making my avatar location into my actual location. No one cares about PEI, so I should be safe.

I would pay a lot more attention to politics.  And tune into the news every day as if it is an episode of House of Cards or Game of Thrones.

I'd be deeply concerned.  I am married to a foreigner.  He hasn't mentioned revoking green cards specifically as part of his legislative agenda, but his campaign website has a 2000-word essay on immigration, and most of it is spiteful, or at least xenophobic.  And that's not the only reason to fear his presidency.  He's brash.  He seems extremely prone to embrace uninformed positions.  I think he is more likely to get us involved in armed conflict even than Hillary Clinton, because of his lack of diplomacy.  Maybe even internal conflict.  His website has only three issue pages.  (1) Immigration  (2) Second Amendment Rights  (3) Tax Reform.  That's all.  I guess one should admire the brevity.  

A few months ago I wouldn't have been at all concerned, because I thought that his persona was so hostile and unprofessional that he would have few followers, or that his self-promotion and bigotry would end his political career, but after the first debate he just kept finding new recruits.  I have spoken with several financially-secure, conservative, successful, and otherwise well-adjusted middle-aged men who really seem to like the cut of his jib.  I just don't understand his appeal at all, but apparently he does have appeal, and lots of it.

You might be better off converting your dollar-denominated assets to Slavic currencies.  Remember that Trump's financial behavior has not always been successful, and in fact he's been through Chapter 11 bankruptcy at least four times.  He openly admits manipulating bankruptcy laws to enrich himself at the expense of other members of society.  He protects himself from risk by getting governments and banks to shoulder the burden.  None of this makes me confident about the "financial experience" he would bring to the executive office.

I'd go to the immigration and refugee office at my city's government and see what I could do to help prevent anyone from being deported. Then I'd check out these websites for myself:

People say McGill is the best school in Canada, but it's really not. Queen's is the place to be. The alumni network is fantastic.

To answer the question, I'd probably laugh hysterically.

Start selling "Trump Second Term" shares short, as soon as I find a market offering them.
