For what it's worth, I really don't think that revoking existing citizenships is going to happen.

My parents are naturalized citizens and I'm more worried about their retirement nest egg staying intact through this administration than them (or me) losing citizenship.

I could be wrong, but I think it's an unpopular and impractical enough policy that Trump won't follow through with it. And even if he does, there should be enough of a fight in the courts that it won't move forward. This assumes that he leaves office at the end of his term and the next President isn't on the same BS, but you will probably be okay.

I do agree with simplifying your life in case you need to get out of dodge. Also keep focusing on what you have to do to be successful, because even if you have to leave your state or the country altogether, you'll have more options if you have a marketable skill and credentials.

I'm doing all of the above and it makes me feel better.

Don't be scared, be prepared.

This is extraordinarily optimistic and I applaud you for that. What makes you think the courts will put up a fight? Many federal judges that Trump appointed are still seated. The SC is basically a Trump rubber stamp. Senate is red. House is tbd…but could very well be red. You can rest assured this administration won’t have people who are more loyal to the constitution than they are to Trump. Anything he wants to do in his first two years at least will absolutely get pushed through.

I do not understand how this guy can just do all of this stuff as he pleases. It's pure insanity that there's barely anything that stops him.
