"There's no question that Trump's presidency will influence America in a big way. The question is how. 

The Trump presidency will change American history, for better or for worse.
Two government experts share three possible scenarios for what America could look like after the Trump's presidency ends.
  - The first scenario is that he'd lose public support and not get reelected, be impeached, or resign, thus making his administration a fleeting moment in history books and films.
  - The second scenario would be that Trump and the Republicans continue to win with a white nationalist appeal, engineering a new white majority in Congress, statehouses, and the Supreme Court.
  - The third and more likely scenario for a post-Trump presidency world would be marked by polarization creating a democracy without solid guardrails."
