Trump peddles DOOM and Gloom, but he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about most of the time. I too think it's sometimes funny, in a macabre way.
But, I'm not ignorant as to the responsibilities of the President and it wouldn't be funny to me if he was elected. I don't believe most people are ignorant in that regard and don't think he's going to be elected though.
If he is elected, it still won't be DOOM and Gloom for me. However, it might well be hell for those GOPers assigned to handle and watch him.
Clinton dropped in the polls when the State Dept email report was released. Then, Trump went on his idiotic "the judge is a biased, Mexican, hater because he won't bend or interpret the law my way!" tour, dominated the news cycle, and doubled then tripled down on it when called out. That prompted Ryan, McConnel, Kasich, Gringrich... and a host of other top Republican leaders to proclaim to the public that the Republican party is not a racist party and Trump's views aren't shared by true conservatives. They don't want to lose Republican congressional seats in the upcoming elections.
So, Trump's dropped more than 5 points in the polls since, putting Clinton ahead again. He dropped 11 points with Independents, which is a real problem for him if he can't win them back. The unification of the Democratic party will also likely boost Clinton.
Trump will reportedly hold a press conference to inform the public of the Clinton scandals, push conspiracy theories, and accuse the Clintons of unbridled greed on Monday. I'm sure he'll use a teleprompter for that one. He should, lest he slip up and regurgitate his "Obama is a Kenyan Muslim" insanity. It should be interesting.
Anyway, I suspect the polls will go up and down for the rest of the cycle, if Trump remains in the running and the shit continues to be flung back and forth.
