If for some reason Trump was elected President, would you consider relocating to another nation?

No—but I’d sure as hell hide under my bed during the 90 days before he was impeached.

I have a friend who has suggested the possibility of moving to a farm in Jamaica with his relatives, and bringing several friends along.

I’m not entirely sure he’s joking. I’d be game for it.

I have a good job with health insurance, which is vital. No, not practical for me.

No, I will never abandon my country, but I am glad I live close to being off the grid.

Not right away, but maybe when I retire.

The economy would get so screwed up after a bit of time that retirement would be difficult.

I wouldn’t relocate myself, but I might relocate my investments overseas. With Trump running the economy, the Swiss Franc, and possibly the Australian Dollar would both look pretty tempting.

No, that’s silly. I lived under the Nixon regime and under the Reagan regime and under the cheating republican Bush regime, so I can live under the Bozo -the-clown regime if it comes to that.

But it won’t.

I wouldn’t leave. The question is a fun speculation with all sorts of things to consider. For instance, consider the prospect of the contest coming down to Trump vs. Sanders. If it looks likely that either of them receives the nomination of their party, should we immediately devote a large chunk of money to shorting stocks?

I didn’t leave when George W. Bush was inaugurated (I refuse to say “elected,” because he wasn’t), so I doubt that I’d flee from Donald Trump.

I love the the U.S.A. and the only way that I leave is if they carry my cold dead body out of here.

I left when Reagan was re elected. I have a low tolerance.

No, I wouldn’t leave. Where would I go? Where could I find another place that wasn’t all f—ked up? I would definitely consider readying some kind of a suicide kit! “Save the last bullet for yourself!”

I would pull half of my retirement funds out of my account and hide it. The other half I’d split between relatively stable bonds and a Contra fund that tends to move in the opposite direction of the market.
I would avoid any investment Trump touted.
By letting his businesses fail and declaring bankruptcy (4 times – so far) while amassing a fortune for himself, he has proven that he is only concerned with his own interests.

Total funds lost by banks, retirement funds, investment houses, and creditors: $9 Billion (it might be more) That is $30 for every man, woman, and child in the US.
Meanwhile he walked away with just about half of it in his pocket.

Trump is scary. He strikes me as the kind of guy who would take contracts out on people who don’t like him, or make fun of him. Did you see his roast? He looked like a thundercloud through the whole thing.

That is something he couldn’t handle, I’m sure of it. Being mocked and criticized and insulted like every president is.

Trump’s uncouth mouth and thin skin will be his undoing. Wait for it…

Just the fact that people like Trump are popular and even considered for the Presidency of a Democracy says so much about what the U.S. has become. Trash.

I have already left and although I sometimes feel out of touch and must go without many modern conveniences, my days and nights are not cluttered by the unnecessary 24/7 neurotic melodrama that life in Ameircan society has become. I’m much healthier mentally and I’m around less aggressive, less ambitious, less angry, less crazier, and especially less dishonest people now. Healthier people whose worries are real and big when they have them. Otherwise, they enjoy life. I’m much happier where I am and rue the day when I have to go back.

^ Where are you again, sounds like Tibet.

The Windward Islands. I left on what was intended to be a short sail from Key West to the Yucatan and back. Arrived after a night sail and read about the Newtown Massacre in the Mexican papers. I was supposed to begin a new nursing gig in a couple of weeks after a short furlough. I just said fuckit, I’d had enough and just kept sailing south. There are many, many places like these islands, with free, happier people, all over the world.

@Espiritus_Corvus The US in some of the eyes of the world has become trash, but not the whole place or all of the people. Proves the point about one bad apple (or a few bad apples) spoiling the whole (perceived) bunch. But that POV applies to all places, not just the US. Enjoy your time away!

@Dutchess_III I wanna be Ginger. You can be Mary Ann.

No, I’m the Professor!

@Dutchess_III Then please make me a phonograph and coconut phone.

Here ya go.
I’m working on the phonograph.

@Love_my_doggie I wanna be Ginger. You can be Mary Ann.
trust me, you want to be Mary Ann, most guys I know loved her more than Ginger.

No. I’ll be staying in the UK regardless of who becomes the President of the United States of America.

Doesn’t matter what most guys you know liked, @Hypocrisy_Central. Maybe that has nothing to do with her reasons for wanting to be Ginger. Not all woman spend their lives in a desperate search to get male sexual approval.

Not all of them. But as my reprobate career drunk lifetime “friend” would put it “Thank God for the others”
