Ice police arresting a man

President Trump may commute the sentences or pardon convicted criminals who have broken the law for him.  Anyone involved in the January 6, 2021 attack on the capital may get these considerations. Rudolph Giuliani may get a pardon so he won't have to pay out any of the millions of dollars of claims against him. The president may even pardon himself and other close friends and relatives for crimes they may have committed. He might not even reveal these pardons publicly until they are needed like having a "Get out of jail free" card. As a result, he might not have to pay E. Jean Carroll anything or anyone else who has ever had a judgement against him. We may only be able to call him a "former" 34-time convicted felon.

Many farmers who supported Trump may be surprised when he helps put them out of business. New INS raids will deplete fields of migrant workers who do agricultural labor that no American would do. Many of these farmers may also be arrested for trying to help poor people support their families. Expect food prices to skyrocket.

The Republicans' razor thin majority in the US House may force them to sponsor less divisive, less partisan legislation that Democrats and wavering Republicans would be less likely to oppose.

Expect millions to be put out of work by the tariff trade war which Trump promises. Expect higher prices on everything.

There may be more gun massacres in schools, shopping centers, concerts, churches, and anywhere else where many people gather as long as the Republicans block any sort of automatic weapons restrictions.

Some foreign leaders may fall out of power soon, including Trudeau of Canada, Scholz of Germany, and others.

After being in power since 1962, the military government of Myanmar may collapse in their struggles with opposing forces. The generals, their officers, their collaborators, and anyone else possibly guilty of war crimes may flee the country.

That's what you voted for so that's what we get.
