Don't borrow trouble. Wait until any decisions are even made that will adversely affect you before worrying.

Remember that Trump's business is sales. What he said during the campaign may not be anything close to what he does when actually in office. Also, he will be our president, not our king. Domestically, the president has limited powers.

Between now and 20 Jan, Trump will be part of some very serious briefings which will, undoubtedly be eye-opening. I assume that every first time PotUS goes through the same shocking experience. I guess what he will be saying the most is "I had no idea...".

No one can foretell the future so there is no real need to get worried about what might happen. It would be prudent to start considering several "plan B's" just in case. But I would wait until something actually happens. That way you can worry at the problem and not worry about the problem.

Speaking as an old guy who has lived through a lot. The future won't be as bad as you fear nor as good as you wish, but somewhere in between.

The last thing you want to do is adversely affect your health by stress.
