I just hope four years isn't enough time to undo some of the America's existing carbon commitments; I'm clutching at straws, mind.Probably my biggest worry. Global warming's already a massive, massive problem, and having the world's biggest power controlled completely by people who don't believe in it or don't think it's their responsibility to take action is heartbreaking tbh.
My biggest concern (and it's a bit kneejerk) is actually nuclear armageddon. I know the alleged Trump quote questioning "why doesn't America ever use its nukes" is unverified, but he just seems like such a hot-head that I get very nervous at the thought of him being in control of the world's second largest atomic arsenal.
Does anybody know how much power the president has to launch a nuclear attack? Presumably he'd need backing from generals, politicians etc. I still feel uneasy about it.
