For the sake of the question, let's just assume that no apocalyptic event happens that wipes out the human race.

You can imagine different dystopian scenarios:

  • Elon builds a colony on mars. Once one million people get there, it starves to death by technical accidents and is left to its fate.
  • Chinese hyper empire emerges, from Tibetan Plateu and conquers a weakened Russia. Trump is okay with it, since he is focused on "domestic issues" like removing gay rights. Later China buys Trumps advisors.
  • Trump conquest of Greenland, Canada and the arctic create a new American Hyper-Empire that expands into the weakened Russian heartland and Europe.

Or to keep the status quo:

  • Europe conquers Russia, and shows Trump and Xi their place.
