40. Doomsday preppers might be onto something.

Worry less about the disaster that Trump is visiting on the world, and focus more on how you will cope with the upcoming effect on your life personally.

Practical stuff, preparing for when food supplies and fresh water run low, fuel and a generator or two, safe storage for all that.

And the favorite of post nuclear war/Zombie Apocalypse preppers - lots of guns and ammo.
