The first question we have to ask ourselves regarding a Trump presidency is if Trump means what he's saying. "Trump says all sorts of things," Noam Chomsky reminded us. "Some of them make sense; Some of them are crazy. But the U.S. is an extremely powerful state [and] if Trump means what he's saying, the human species is in very deep trouble."

Here are his top five reasons why.

1. Global warming would continue to affect vulnerable areas.

"Global warming is a hugely significant phenomenon; the effects of global warming are extremely severe. The Republican Party, Trump in particular, will block measures to stop production from coal plants. Trump simply says, 'It's not happening.' That's quite apart from other policies he's advocating," Chomsky explained.

5. World war would be ever looming.

"American-run polls show that the U.S is the greatest threat to world peace by a large margin. Right now the spectacle of the Republican primary is frightening people around the world, justifiably."
