People frequently say America will be ruined whenever a new president is elected; they said this with Bush Jr., they said this with Obama, and now they're saying this with Trump. Thing is, this is largely over-exaggeration, as the former two came and none of these happened.

Trump did however mention some actions he plans to do that have been met with criticism all over the world (even the UN), these include deporting illegal immegriants instantly upon arrival, barring muslims from entering the nation, and implementing waterboarding (a form of torture). However, I doubt any of these would get passed Congress, since the Senate is now just barely over half Republican now and requires 2/3 votes from both houses before the president could sign such actions into law, not to mention many of the Republican representatives and senators oppose Trump.
