After 3am EST early Wednesday morning when the final results were called, the United States plunged into a whole new presidency. “I was honestly really surprised. Based on the previous pollings, I thought Hillary was going to win. I was shocked to see the results come out this morning,” said senior and first time voter David Flowers.

 Disappointment rippled through much of the Millennial and Generation Z population as Donald Trump broke the 270 electoral vote threshold. Many Americans stayed up to late hours to see the results of this monumental election, just to see what everyone expected. “The results were fair, but I wish more people voted. The history behind my race [African American] is important because it took time for us to earn the right to vote,” said senior Caleb Morgan. Now that Trump holds the President-Elect position, what will happen? How does this impact our country in the long run? It is always monumental for the President to make a plan for their first 100 days in office. Donald Trump’s idea for these days involves mainly immigration, the trade economy, and attempting to wipe President Obama’s presidency from textbooks.

 If these proposals are put into effect, Donald Trump would immediately strive to deport illegal immigrants with a criminal history. Once this issue is resolved, Trump plans to suspend immigration from countries where terrorism is prevalent. Conveniently, Donald Trump has not mentioned his previous idea on attempting to get rid of all undocumented immigrants in the U.S. now that he has formed a new plan. It is also not to be ignored that Donald Trump has expressed different forms of discrimination against Muslim individuals, further pushing America into inequality. “It just is frightening because we have accomplished so many steps toward what is accepted as equality, but can be expunged with the wrong call from government,” said junior Natasha Fisk.

 In addition, the economy will most likely be affected by a new president. The last time Republicans held control over the three branches of government, events like the Great Depression, and 20 years later with the Great Recession, happened. “I think that the economy will decline, and countries will not want to trade with us anymore. If we’re not careful, bad things can form through this election,” said senior Sidney Shealey. One major thing Trump is pushing for is to limit true capitalism by restricting the country’s trade borders. This will force American production in his theory, but the long term effects could be detrimental to the worldwide economy.

 When one hears “to wipe his presidency from the record books,” there generally is a negative connotation that follows it. Donald Trump said in a speech that he plans to wipe “every executive action” and more actions that Obama made while holding office for the past 8 years. Trump openly spoke out against Obamacare, so that will be the first to go. The Trump administration has previously claimed that Obamacare is a disaster, yet the effects of repealing it could be more drastic than imagined.

 Until January 20th of next year, President Obama remains as a lame duck president. President Obama spoke on Wednesday following the election about the results. He focused on how sometimes people lose and that America will face trouble but that is what molds America into a vibrant democracy.

 The decisions made will not affect Americans officially until January, but the election has had its own effects now.
