What are your predictions for what porky will do next? Here are some of mine:
If Trump gets a second term, I predict that republicans will try to remove the minimum wage altogether, using the excuse that "small businesses can't compete" and "you don't deserve that much for just flipping burgers"
As advertising becomes more ever-present in our societies, and advertising becomes less effective, restrictions on what adverts can and can't do will be loosened to "better reach the costumer" including the use of sexual imagery, the ability to advertise anywhere (including near schools and playground areas) and the introduction of "post-truth advertising"
With net neutrality over and done with, ISPs will move on to bigger and more profitable avenues under the guise of "helping artists" and "tracking down criminals" while they are given complete control to analyse all of uploads and downloads, using a content ID system (similar to YouTube's) that detects when copyrighted material is being uploaded to the internet without the artist's consent.

The main and most obvious one:
American imperialism against its' former lapdogs like Canada and Mexico.
In general, America trying to profiteer over soft and unprepared "1st world nations", which it may very well do, considering they have no other alliances except America itself. The EU, despite its size, is also not safe, since it's extremely unstable, and Trump may play East Europe and Eurosceptics to do the work for him.
Honestly, it's a poetic justice. You used to ride on the back of an imperialist predator, and suddenly, seeing no easier prey, he decides to strait for you.
Also
probably a steady increase in the first world of the permanently unemployed and underemployed followed by political measures to crack down on them
France and Germany aren't going to take American imperialism lying down though.
some gay shit is going to happen and we are all going to get fucked in the ass
The next recession will cause American house values to plummet, which will result in an actual depression since so many amerifats rely on constantly increasing asset prices to produce profit. This depression will force America to go even more fascist and they will eventually start a gigantic war with Russia/China over some dumb shit and get absolutely stomped.
This.
when do think this depression will happen? next year? next 5 years? 10?
