I'm wondering what Trump's all too certain nomination for the Republican Party means for banking and finance in general. He's been cleaning up his team and taking a more presidential tone, which will be good for everyone to start weighing in on what his presidency will mean for US politics and economics alike. Remember a few things he's talked about since his announcement to run:

-Trump has vowed to go after 'the hedge fund guys' and to make them pay.

-He thinks that Mexico and China are getting over on the U.S. and that most of the foreign countries aren't doing their share while the U.S. gets hammered in trade.

-As far as foreign policy goes, Trump doesn't like the relationships with the rest of the world--this goes for US forces in Japan or its involvement in the Middle East.

-Despite that the TPP was written to encourage further dialogue with China and to exercise U.S. influence in the increasingly important East, Trump's belief is that it is a bad deal and should've never been done.

-Another bad deal, according to Trump, is the nuclear removal package negotiated by Kerry and Obama that was taken as diplomacy first to clear away that threat.

-Trump's best ideas for dealing with antagonist leaders like Putin so far has been, almost to quote him exactly: 'I get along with everyone'.

-He thinks that when a KKK member says that Trump is looking out for him, maybe the guy is bad, maybe he isn't and that women should shut up and just keep being beautiful.

To be fair to Trump, trade imbalances are a growing problem as some countries have too high savings and the world isn't resilient anymore to economic shocks. By putting the focus on this topic, it could lead to a development on the economics side for countries like the US with growing debt. Also, even if a wall along the Mexican border doesn't get built, something about migration has to be done for the sake of security and for the health of everyone, including the migrants themselves. McKinsey reported that the flows of people will be the number one flow as more developing countries grow their middle classes and companies look around the world to meet their hiring needs.

I personally find Trump's behavior and personality to be repulsive and an extreme show of ignorance about the dynamics of world economics and culture. With his new found 'presidential' act, I am thinking he will somehow try to become a real gentleman--he'll need to in order to face off with Hillary--but I am not sure how this general election will turn out. It is now the old and tried of Hillary the stateswoman, versus the unpredictable businessman. Hillary looks so battered I'm not sure if she'll come through this one after the energy that Trump has brought to the political table. So, what happens in the world if he becomes the 45th president of the US?
