By worst case I don't mean just him getting elected, I mean the worst possible outcome. My idea would be that along with Trump, a tea party wave sweeps the country and Trump is like FDR in that Congress is basically his puppet. He messes up the economy, foreign relations, and politics and doesn't give up the presidency, the US falls into a state of civil war between the South and Mid-West who support Trump and the West and North East who are against him. The divides are never able to heal and we are left with 3 nations: East USA the Confederacy, and West USA.

I think what @Alexander II may not be too far off from a worst-case. Not just with Trump, but with Hillary and Sanders too. Both have a history of stirring the pot so to speak and all have the potential to damage foreign relations and the economy. The presidential hopefuls for this election have the lowest pre-convention approval ratings of any presidential hopefuls since 1984 when those polls were first going out about that. This means that if any of the three front-runners find themselves in the White House, there will be massive amounts of resistance to any changes.
The wild card is the public opinion and the press and how those two combine come the next US President. Trump will face immense opposition, as you have said, from the NE and W USA. This will widen the rift growing between the Liberal and the Conservative Fronts in America. They were complicated and tense enough before this election cycle and now the public is facing the most outlandish and polar personalities on each Front and having to choose. There is no way that the public and press end 2016 in unity behind a new President.
We will continue to see a rise in political and social activism and special interest groups and protests put on by these entities and in the end I do believe that regional conflict is inevitable. With the exponential increase in technological abilities over the past 2000 years, the world is long overdue a global conflict and a changing of the guard to a new superpower. The time has come and is hanging over our heads like a hammer. And, sadly, in conjunction with this, the United States is also long overdue a large-scale civil conflict which powerful nations tend to have. Within the next 75 years I would bet the US will see a large armed uprising and resistance of the whole nation as we know it today to stand in union with the leader in the White House.
Now, do I think Donald Trump can be the catalyst to this civil uprising and changing of the guard globally? No. I believe the coming president, be they Conservative or Liberal will simply make the sectionalism we currently see impossible to mend. I do not see the climate right for this, there are no sides. It is only a shattered sense of Nation and Unity. When we see wide spread coalitions of politicians, industries, social groups, races, educators, and regional citizens solidifying ranks into cohesive units in order to resist the actions of President and/or Congress, then we are ready for that breakdown of American society as we know it.
George Washington addressed sectionalism in a manner that seemed to foreshadow the coming war between the Confederacy and the Union. However, his words, in his so-called Farewell Address, still warn of the dangers of growing dislike and different cultures in the regions of the United States. These rifts will not be mended by any of the three front-runners to the Presidency, they will be fed and widened. The time has passed to evade this future and it is now only a matter of when.

Ya you are going a bit to far with the extremes here. A civil war wont occur when trump becomes preseident and thats if he becomes president. And if he steps out of line he can always be impeached.
