Dear Mr Trump,
In about a week, the people of The United States of America will decide if you should be their President, hence the leader of much of the free thinking world. As of now, theoretically, the odds are stacked against you. But, that's been the view from the time you jumped into this race, and despite what many may call, umpteen attempts of shooting yourself in the foot, you have reached a stage where you could actually make the White House your home for the next 4 years.
Hypothetically, let's just assume you lose; I know you hate it, what do you do? It will be hard for you to going back to being just another also-ran billionaire real estate tycoon. I think most billionaires in the world; and there happen to be a lot of Middle Eastern, Chinese, Russian, Indian, Nigerian, Mexican ones, who will think twice before doing business with you, given your expression of hate for their origins, and your new found abilities as a politician and double-speaker of half truths. We both know that half-truth is nothing but a well-disguised lie. Hosting beauty pageants and reality shows is really out of the question too, don't you think? The way this election race has been run, one cannot even push the scenario of vindictive politics aside. It will be another 4 years of wait I suppose, 'cause I don't think your present opponent will serve an additional term for one of many reasons, the obvious being that she is the one-eyed queen in a blind race. But then, who knows. There could be formidable challengers standing against you from your own Republican party, leave alone the Democrats. Hmm, does not look too good a scenario.
From a global perspective, you don't have too many supporters either. There is a fear that your "Let's Make America Great Again" actually means "Let's make the world unstable again". Not that your opponent rocks, but if the world had a voice in this election, you would lose the race by more than a mile. See it this way, she is the "deep blue sea" in terms of choice, whereas you are the... I am sure you have that figured too. The only group who would truly be saddened by your loss would be the ones you actually hate; the men in black from the Middle East. They would so love to have you running America, no better ambassador for their cause than you in pushing recruits into their fold.
In a lot of ways, what you have proposed actually makes sense, but the way you want to go about doing it is giving everyone a serious heartburn. No matter what America and even the world may think of you, there is one nation where you are revered as a kind hero, of course, after its present Prime Minister, India. In fact, in July of 2017, the term of the Indian President comes to an end, and you could certainly make a bid for that seat. Don't worry if you are a foreigner, you could be naturalised in less than a month, people from across our border do that all the time, and quite a few for far more nefarious reasons that undermine our national security. Stopping them could itself be your calling card to becoming Citizen No. 1 of this Nation. You have already won the emotional sorts here (politically incorrect to call them right wing activists) with your "Ab ki baar Trump Sarkar" just like our PM did not so long ago.

The White House, what is it? Nothing larger than the outhouse of our Rashtrapati Bhavan, the largest Presidential accommodation in the world built on 320 acres of prime land in Delhi as compared to the former's 18 acres in Washington DC. You are a real estate developer, where would you rather stay bro? In India, insulting, misbehaving with or even groping women is not a taboo, especially for politicians.

If you became the President of The USA, you would have to suffer endless precious hours over domestic and international policy matters, debates at Capitol Hill, deal with dissidence within your own team, and many such avoidables. Won't be easy saying "You are fired" each time someone disagrees with you. In the end, you will end up as a villain for all. In India, all these matters are handled by the Prime Minister's office leaving the President to pursue matters "close to the heart", and that has a very wide scope. There is so much you can do here like "Make India Great Again", so much better sounding than just "Make in India".
Surely, by just having you here, the entire Republican party would be so grateful to us that it would fight for India in Capitol Hill to grant it any and all concessions it wants on climate control, manufacture of advanced weaponry, as well as arm-twist China into accepting us as a full member of the NSG, and, (let me catch my breath), fulfill many more such wonderful dreams. We have an accomplished Vice Presidential running mate already in place, and he has so many similar traits that you would think of him as a twin lost at birth.
Do keep me in mind as an advisor or something if you take up this suggestion. Just think of it, Donald Trump… President… The United States of India… well yes… I know... your chances for the US Presidency just got better... unless of course, the Democrats do something unusual like BRING BERNIE BACK. Now, what are chances of that happening... right?
Regards and best wishes for the election day, and God please save America.
PS: I am not pandering to your ego for a migration visa. With such lousy tax laws in your Country, I am sincerely better off here. If you do make it as the President of the USA, then do remember, we Indians spend a lot of money shopping and holidaying in your Country, please don't spoil that for us.

If Donald Trump loses on Nov. 8, a great many people in both America and elsewhere will breathe a huge sigh of relief. But the truth is there won’t be that much to be relieved about.
In the US, Trump’s influence will linger. His campaign showed that a politician can spew outright lies and blatant hate-speech and still retain support. Others will follow his example, and even moderates will be less afraid of the truth-o-meter. That will intensify social media’s echo-chamber effect and further shrink America’s capacity for serious political debate.
Trump also convinced lots of voters (who admittedly didn’t need much convincing) that American judges are biased, the media tell only lies, elections are rigged, and no branch of government is to be trusted. Whether the Republican party falls apart in the wake of Trump’s defeat or is rejuvenated, it will have this alienated, angry bloc of voters to contend with. If he wants it, the unofficial role of Republican kingmaker will be Trump’s for the taking.
Outside the US, too, Trumpist attitudes have been taking root, perhaps buoyed by his success. Xenophobia is sweeping Europe, as evidenced by the Brexit vote, the proliferation of new border fences, and the gains by far-right leaders in a variety of national elections. World trade is slowing and protectionism is on the rise.
No matter who wins, then, the next president will take office in an increasingly Trumpian world. That is perhaps the Donald’s true victory: that ideas that a year ago seemed beyond the pale are now increasingly accepted as a normal part of politics.—Gideon Lichfield
