It's probably helpful. Trump has mentioned speeding up the Visa process, since people were waiting years to get in.
It doesn't sound like you were planning to hop the border illegally, so his campaign platform shouldn't affect you. I did find this statement in the news, so HN commenters will probably not be affected:
"I'm changing. I'm changing. We need highly-skilled people in this country. If we can't do it, we will get them in. And we do need in Silicon Valley, we absolutely have to have. So we do need highly-skilled," Trump said.
If by here you mean the US then you should be okay. People with graduate degrees from US schools get a different quota than everyone else. If Trump does follow through on his threats to leave NAFTA that would put an end to TN visas so there may be increased competition for H1Bs.
