He's a loose cannon. He's banging on about the US's "depleted military," fer crissakes. The country that spends more on its military than the next seven (or eleven?) countries on the list combined. He blathers endlessly about needing to "solve" the "problem" of radical Islam, which obviously means more American bombs killing more Muslims in the Middle East and radicalizing the ones who survive.

It may not be those things precisely, but it's definitely hard to believe that if he were to obtain power, that he'd take a long shower to wash off all of the shit he stirred up during the campaign and decide to play nice and easy with all those new powers he'd have at his disposal.
Just like any other politicien who's on a campaign, he's creating expectations. People will expect him to follow through in some way on what he said. And if you look at the type of people he's attracting, I'd be kinda scared about pissing off too many of them.
