Liberals will be very angry and distraught. There will be a lot of crying and disbelief and impotent liberal rage and promises and demands and bargaining. They'll call it illegitimate. Over time that will die down. They'll insist the left is to blame (naturally) and that Bernie cost them the election but also it was Russia and also somehow China who got Trump re-elected. America's decline in the estimation of the EU and other allies will continue, her reputation will be damaged very badly for re-electing him. The CIA will have a lot of displeased people drinking themselves into liver trouble.
Trump will probably be somewhat surprised himself. Who knows how he acts during his second term but he's probably going to continue being a racist but not terribly effective imperialist who makes life generally miserable for those in the US. The Dems may retake the Senate if not they probably will in 2022. At any rate they won't capture the House so Trump will continue ruling by executive orders, some of which the courts toss (because lol you can't infringe private property rights of the bourgeoisie even if it suits your racist, nativist crusade and you appointed the judge). The division of the US will increase. There will be sporadic incidents of reactionary terrorism and violence throughout his term but no massively deadly amount of them around the election as most will be soothed by his re-election into thinking they can calm down a bit.
The cold war with China will continue (with Democratic support). The poor will continue to get poor while the rich gets rich. America will continue being imperialist but her reputation will be in tatters for some time. In other words nothing that major.

Meant the Republicans. Apologies, I should have been more clear there. That was written confusingly.
