Donald Trump's victory will spell the end of Obama's legacy. Areas to take note of are: Trump is predicted to cut back Obama's series of global deals committing the US to fighting climate change, as he has called the phenomenon a hoax; the Dodd-Frank financial reform act and his first year Affordable Care Act are predicted to be halted since Republican lawmakers have been keen to gut both these laws; the result will empower conservatives looking to roll back the federal government's social services programmes; new rules for immigration and trade are expected and regulations on all industries will be eased; and the executive orders that Obama used to bypass gridlock in Congress will be stopped.
