    America is well and truly in a whole heap of drama no matter who wins.
    The American system is a Two Party Dictatorship and Wall Street owns them both.

    That aside would love to see Trump win.

    If Trump tried this 20 years ago, in Colombia, he'd end up dead.

    There are quite a few reasons why.

    One good one is that the world is a much bigger place than Facebook, Twitter and Hollywood.

    Plenty of positives can come out of this, let's hope some lessons are learned and the whole system resets.

    ah jeez went to edit the post and deleted it instead

    unbelievable stuff hey

    what a can of worms though now, lots of promises from big don, i.e. manufacturing, tariffs, TPP, military spending...may just end up the same as the old boss

    what i don't understand is the rampant protectionism being pushed matching up with the spending on never ending war

    and here's a great reason why Hillary lost.
    Those outspoken 'celebrities' won't do jack shit.
    They are social media activists.
    Cowards and band wagoners.

    Yet Clinton fought for their approval rather than the grassroot voters.


    Reminds me of U2 back at the height of their "damn the rich let's heal the world by taking the rich people's money oh wait you guys found our tax haven status lolz whoops never mind"

    My understanding is that military spending will be more about elevating pensions for veterans (admirable) and not endlessly funding overseas bases (countries like Japan/Korea and Oz chipping in to pay the yanks to look after us - something which I think Rudd(?) rejected when Bush tried it).

    If he carries out the threat then it may actually decrease Americas military presence overseas which may lead to less conflict rather than more.

    I honestly reackon that some of these policies will actually have silver linings but probably more to do with good luck rather than good planning.

    The majority of people I have spoken to about the election over the past few months said they were voting for Trump. Hardly anyone said they would vote for Hillary because they feared it would be more of the same as in mass unemployment and uncertainty. Let's hope Trump is more successful playing politics than he was in the movie business.

    Best indicator will be who comes next for the Dems. An actual real human with a brain and a conscience or another career politician.

    I also hope the ALP is watching this really really closely.

    The ALP are beyond saving. They stand for nothing. At least the conservatives aren't afraid to say they hate the poor.

    Are they taking bets on KANYE for 2020 ?

    There are no positives to come out of this. Trump is not trying to "reset" the system, he is trying to systematically whitewash America. The only lesson to be learned out of this is that ignorant, bigoted fools will support anyone who sprouts populist sh*t even if its baseless in terms of policy.
