One of my concerns was his talk of building up the military, People are just not volunteering at a pace that could handle a aggressive build up of the military. Now its a fear that I honestly think the draft could be re-instated by Trump. I would not be surprised at all now after watching the direction he is taking this country, Iam really concerned now.
