In many respects he reminds me of a guy called Ronnie Reagan and most likely will like Ronald do some good and probably more bad. Trump will adopt
a fairly low key foreign policy but it will be interesting to see how he would react if there was a 9/11 style crisis. He will become more protectionist than the last few Presidents but again his economic impact is likely to be fairly neutral. He will appoint a conservative to the Supreme Court of course and that could have consequences down the track. He will probably deport a few extra illegals but Obama sent about 2 Million Mexicans packing during his tenure anyway so no big change there. The health care debate will be hostile but that cobbled together system is not really working when looked at objectively. All in all the four years will pass and most likely Trumpy will become bored (also he is not a young man) and is very unlikely to run again unless he keeps up the interest in the job and the economy is booming.In that situation he could be around for 8 years. In a nut shell not a lot is going to change so all you panic merchants dry up your pussies and calm down.
