Trump huge boon for the apocalypse
Maybe a problem in real life, but it seems that a Trump presidency would create possibilities for T2017 that were unimaginable just six months ago. There's really no limit to who could be at war or at what scale. Even with a loss, there will be fodder for doomsday scenarios for years to come.

If you seen either the film or tv series based on Stephen King's "The Dead Zone", you might remember the quirky-then-insane candidate for president, whose future was to deliberately start a nuclear war.
Frighteningly oracular, that.

Kind of what I was thinking.
A NATO v. Russia conflict is pretty easy to see. France would likely sit out. China makes a grab for Taiwan while the US is busy in Europe leading to a general China/N Korea v. US/S Korea/Japan dustup in the east. Spreads to the middle east with US backing Saudis and Russia Syria and Iran. One or both go nuclear as one side is pushed to the edge. A US v. Mexico struggle of one sort or another emerges. The pieces required to leave the world in a situation close to T2k canon haven't been so (un)favorable for twenty years.

To get into the paranoia of a "Red Dawn" scenario, have a large number of Asian and "Ukranian" or "Uzbek" refugees who suddenly rise up to crush the slothful unprepared lazy Capitalist drones.

The rest of NATO who donates less than the % of GDP that the US does to defense (having been also insulted by Trump) would sit it out. Quote:
A second option would be an escalation of Russo-Turkish tensions, with the US coming to aid its NATO ally. Oh, wait... Quote:
