It won't even if he does. Trump isn't the cause, he's a symptom. The US is probably not going to survive as a unified nation for very long, and honestly, it probably shouldn't.

You mean the ones that are also headed towards total societal collapse within the next decade? Yeah, I'm sure they'll totally have plenty of resources to spare for a trans-pacific invasion when they can't grow any crops.
