Honestly I think what Trump will give rise to is more existential a threat than any specific policies he enacted or tried to enact. He showed that you can ignore common practices that most politicians cling to by virtue of simple tradition and now many potential scumbags will take note of things they could potentially always have done if they had the balls to be the first one to do it. He has lifted even further the curtain that gave an illusion of responsible representative democracy in such a way that it's like a canon blast to that curtain.
