If elected, Trump will rip off the US treasury by his creative abilities to move money into his own

pockets.

Trump would put his businesses in his family and friends names.Then move lucrative government contracts into those businesses. The United States would become a "who you know" place to do business. Trump will throw all of his enemies in jail.

I bet he will do it. Trump could not help himself. It is in his personality.

1. Yup

The U.S.A will no longer exist. We will live in C.O.T ( Corporation OF Trump. ) I See Trump as a mean dictator.

2. Without any doubt.

It already happens far too often, but on a smaller scale. Sometimes, people get caught at it. Most often, though, they don't. Oversight is poor in general in government. Oversight is expensive.

3. Would, not will. But absolutely for the business side.

He wouldn't control the justice system and might just have a little problem throwing all his enemies in jail, or even closing down magazines and newspapers as he's fantasized.

4. Congress has the justice system over a barrel right now though.

6. Trump's "enemies" are all those who offend him.

And we've only seen faint hints of what would come out if he thought he had the power. But no one would be safe from his attempts to lash out, most especially members of Congress who told him no, as they would be doing constantly. Also, in all likelihood the Justice Department would be telling him can't do all over the place. He can't even just fire "the generals," could only move them aside. All of them also have a duty to not follow orders that conflict with their duties and oaths, though no doubt Trump could find people to replace recalcitrant officials with.

What I'm saying, though, is we don't elect kings. This is a very ignorantly incomplete list--there are very real limitations on a president's power.

7. I actually think he would get along and make deals with the GOP congress

And so a lot of harm. Neither of them have any morals and both want to lower taxes on the wealthy, deregulate businesses and lower trade barriers. I think he also could do a lot of damage by going along with restrictions to reproductive rights and service providers etc, in order to get some additional favors for himself - like lifting sanctions against Russia.
Why wouldn't they?

8. Agree! Trump will corrupt the GOP. They will open up the Corruption gate

And no one will be able to close that gate once it is opened.

[Hortensis]

9. I agree he'd probably find some commonality

on some economic issues. But he's a true loose cannon, various factions would be trying to control him, and "they" would have lots and lots of reasons. Don't forget, there is a major civil war going on in the Republican Party and his election would only prolong it.

It'd be interesting to watch. Instead, we get to look forward to watching Hillary progress determinedly, incremental step by incremental step, as Judicial Watch fills our daily newscasts with promises of subpoenaed papers and indictments.

JD boasts, and I believe them, that they have 5 new "-gates" all ready to go (people are tired of Servergate), with over 100 Freedom of Information Act filings, just the first of all those they intend to fill the next 8 years with.

I don't mind. We have remotes. Just, please, let us give Hillary a Democratic Senate majority to pull with her...!

5. He's already been ripping off the US Treasury by not paying his taxes

and shifting the burden onto everyone else.

(For all his supporters crying that taxes are too high, I usually tell then that tRump and his ilk are the main reason. They don't pay, or pay very little, so you have to pay more than your fair share. His 'tax reform' will insure that the rich continue to shift the burden onto you. Now tell me again, why you are supporting him?)
