"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." - T. Jefferson et al

IMHO it will spark a civil war. Whether it will be a cold war or a shooting war I don't know, but rifts will widen. I think our current allies around the world will not recognize Trump's coup as a legitimate government and the US will become increasingly isolated. The secession movement in California and possibly other states will get a boost. And that's me being optimistic.
