Best case scenario, I think he'll become a puppet for the Republican Party, do their bidding and just bask in his success rather than make any major waves like his supporters are hoping. None of his radical ideas will be enacted and it'll be a shitty four years.
Best case scenario.
I mean, he proved to be a liar already to his supporters. He complimented Hillary Clinton on her hard-fought campaign. I can imagine his least-educated voters saw that and thought "BUT BUT... You're supposed to throw her in jail!! Why are you saying these things about her?!"
A part of me thinks a lot of the insanely hateful, over the topic rhetoric was just pandering for votes and he'll perhaps calm down when he's actually in office.
Maybe I'm in denial.
But I have to hold onto something. I am VERY emotionally volatile this morning. lol
I don't think it's a maybe, it's almost a definite. But he'll still set the country back years, maybe decades, as far as forward thinking is concerned. That's what is unfortunate this morning.

Re: President Trump
Interesting thought I read somewhere: this election is the comments section overruling the article.

Cracked does a pretty good job of explaining the success of President Trump.

It was better predicted by Michael Moore
I mean how do you lose Wisconsin that had voted Blue 28 years in a row
I have nothing much good to say about Trump except that I love he has already said a huge fuck you to his supporters by A. congratulating and complimenting Hillary Clinton in his victory speech, and B. sitting down and talking with Obama and saying what an honour it was to sit with him. I know to us, the normals, these are obviously what he had to do (although it wouldn't have shocked me if he went down swinging at Hillary, even as he won), but his lesser supporters have to be screaming today "YOU'RE TALKING TO THE DEVIL??!! AND SAYING IT'S AN HONOUR TO MEET HIM?!"
The consolation in all this is that those are the people he will disappoint most in the next four years.
It's also uncharacteristic so far how humble and down-to-earth he is in both the victory speech and his meeting with Obama. The Republican Party has obviously sunk their claws into him already and molded him into their own. Which reinforces my theory that he'll just be their puppet, nothing more, nothing less. A lot of advancements will be erased, but it just fuels the fire for 2020.
And honestly, in his meeting today with Obama, he looks just as haunted as everyone else. Could be possibly have not expected this either?

I am quite convinced he was not expecting it.

Re: President Trump
Kind of jarring to see him be the same old Trump on twitter, then you remember oh yea, it's the president now
Well, that was unedited and she made herself look like a drunk fool. But she does have a point. Liberal news love to edit their shit to make Trump and others look foolish.

Re: President Trump
I have to admit, I'm a bit horrified that so many educated, seemingly intelligent liberals are willing to throw away democracy because their candidate didn't win. Because that's what protesting the outcome of a democratic election essentially is.

Where did Trump travel the world helping Children? I cancelled my Washington Post subscription and a cable news package on Wednesday. Fuck the rest of the world. I'm glad I read Earth in the Balance in 1992 and decided not to have kids. We are just not mature enough to fix our long term problems. I'm not spending a god damn dollar more than necessary after Jan 20th. We are a white trash nation, not sure why we feel the need to broadcast it.
Can't wait for the public executions of the press members after being convicted in kangaroo courts. I hope Sean Hannity is the American Roland Freisler. I have been drinking for 18 hours and still in the anger phase, but flip back to the denial phase.
It is ironic I will be better off than most of the deplorables that voted for Trump after 4-8 years. I doubt that women, when Trump leaves office, is even alive after her Obamare is cancelled.
I highly doubt any of this makes sense when I wake up in the morning.
Press is awful for reasons she has no vocabulary to express even if sober. Watching the gatekeepers of the 70's like Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, John Chancellor it is amazing how far we have fallen. Americans deserve ridicule, but press deserve prison sentences.

Where did I say everything she said was correct?

If he's going to compliment the protestors (as he did about an hour ago on Twitter), he should now condemn the KKK's victory parade in his honour as well.
Will he?

At this point: who the fuck knows? I've stopped trying to guess anything that has happened or will happen, because where has that gotten anyone at this point? lol
If he wants to build a bridge between his supporters and his detractors, he needs to condemn it. It would be a good first step.
And I'm sick of people saying "Oh stop crying because your side lost". It's more than losing. It's being led by an inexperienced businessman/reality star who hates anyone that doesn't agree 100% with him and doesn't look and sound and act like him. If Mitt Romney defeated Obama in 2012, it would have incited disappointment, but not of this magnitude.
