Trump just got the republican nomination, now let's suppose in a hypothetical situation in the future where Trump wins the presidential elections against Bernie or Clinton, what would be your next step, will you stay in USA, or what would you do exactly ?

Well he only won the Republican Nomination so we will see what happens in November.

I'd be embarrassed, but the President of the US isn't that powerful in terms of controlling the US. He has control over the military, but even that is a team effort. Declaring war is also a function of Congress.

In that scenario, it's possible people would wake up and vote for better congresspeople, and a lot of good legislation would be passed (protections for immigrants, for example).

I'm going to do nothing. Going to Canada isn't really beneficial to me. Starting over is pointless. But I do highly recommend starting a business. If Trump wins I can guarantee that he is changing laws in favor of his business practices. Follow his money and have a business copying his moves.
