We grab Libyan and Iraqi oil, instantly becoming one of the largest oil producing countries. We force OPEC to push its prices down and speed up production, accelerating supply and running the world out of oil by the end of the decade. Oil prices go down to $50 a barrel.
We use our free oil to pump the economy to astronomical growth of 8% CAGR for the next decade. Biglaw gets paid 200k base and Wall Street (including markets) are booming with 500k bonuses. Businesses grow at all levels and creates jobs for all as unemployment declines to 5%.
Meanwhile, oil profits are taxed and used by the government to develop new energy sources. The U.S. soon holds a monopoly on renewable energy technology and sells this at a huge profit to our allies. Our nation's trillion dollars in debt is easily paid off from oil and energy technology sales. Our enemies in the middle east quickly run out of energy sources and are left poor and broken, resulting in the end of the War on Terror as Al Queda is wiped out by the Israelis.
China is pwned in the next decade as it no longer has as much access to oil as the U.S., and with production sped up, as oil runs out China lacks the energy technology for its 1.5 billion citizens and its economy collapses on itself, prompting revolution and civil unrest which paves the way for a new democratic system (propped up and overseen by Taiwan and U.S. intervention).
Finally, libtards and dangerous minorities are sent to the gulags and/or deported.
Not much of a BAM! scenario so I guess the question is: what will you do with your comfortable life thanks to the Don?

Saudi Arabia stopped pumping extra oil to control price spikes. "opec" does listen to each other's production levels and since we used to have SA on our side we had a decent level of influence. I do not think SA likes Obama's approach in the middle east and they are preparing to be Mubarak'ed by Obama. IMO, that is why they cut production.

Trump doesn't pull any punches. He's a retarded douche who isn't worthy of trust, but everyone knows this. That's why I like him. I know what I'm voting for.
You enslave the idiots already there (Iraqi/Libyans) and load the shit onto a tanker. It ain't hard bro. They already got all the equipment and labor set up.
Also we're gonna stop building stuff over there, it just keeps getting blown up. We should actually help to tear stuff down. That way no one can hide and everyone can easily be off'd by m14 sprays into the crowd.

President Donald Trump told reporters today that Rosie O'Donnell was a "fucking degenerate" and that she was a "disgrace" to both the United States and the entertainment industry.
"This pathetic woman, what has she ever done? Her magazine was a joke," Trump said. "My daughter Ivanka has more talent in her little finger than Rosie has in her entire fat, disgusting body" he added.
Trump also downplayed rumors that additional troops would be sent to Russia.

More plausible scenario: Trump gets us into another quagmire, spends another trillion dollars, can't cut any programs at home to pay for it because he is hamstrung by that thing called "the democratic process" and because dems retake Congress in 2014, effectively stonewalling any major reforms, we continue to lose ground to China, and Trump loses in 2016.
Oh, and attempts to develop new alternative energy sources fail because of the massive influence of oil company lobbying money and America's fear of change.

sorta hard to produce oil when there is a war raging in the surrounding areas, and/or constant sabotage & bombings by the iraqis you employ to produce it
Reminder: Iran wouldn't get nukes, since the Trump Doctrine would give them a 48 hour ultimatum: 1) open your country to proctoscopic inspections for nuclear materials or 2) suffer a preemptive thermonuclear strike on all suspected weapons-sites.
a self-aggrandizing becombovered mediocre businessman who inherited a shitload of money gets elected president and everything suddenly becomes wonderful.
