It would be pretty bad. The president, congress and the senate, and the supreme court wouldn't have to be in agreement to pass laws, so congress and the senate could pass whatever laws they wanted to, without the president's authority. That passed law couldn't be reviewed by the supreme court and could be unconstitutional.
The congress and senate would be abolished??? The president can't make law or rewrite the constitution - that's what the congress and senate does.

States would no longer have rule for themselves. The Federal Government would have complete control of the country. No one could say no to the President. We would not have a Congress or Senate. The Supreme Court would not exist.

It already has been. The supreme court is out of control and neither presidents or congress have done anything for a long time. Congress is messing with job of Commander-in-chief. We're already there, just look around you to see the results.

Sometimes it looks like we have a president trying to do that just now.
But, to answer your question, we would end up with a president who would ignore or break our country's own laws whenever it suited his personal agenda.

any branch of the government would be able to do whatever it wanted and it would lead to anarchy
if one branch decided it didnt like the other it could just remove it

Oh my goodness, hide my wallet. You would see runaway programs like you wouldn't believe. Checks and balances need to stay AND be enforced. Please don't scare me with those kind of thoughts again!

The president would become a dictator. There'd be NO one to counter what he wanted to do!

It has already been destroyed by putting one party in total control

There will be widespread corruption and abuses or people's power. It could also give birth to dictatorship, eventually.
