Putin and Netanyahu must be very happy right now.

Not happy. What a mess 😕

What a depressing world we live in. Watching the BBC and see Farage is there trying to muscle in on Trump's victory. Can you imagine if Starmer had been there celebrating if Harris was winning?

God this is depressing.

Be quite handy to be a member of a large trading bloc right about now.

I feel so despondent right now.

Oh hell, yes yes. We are isolated.

Trump's speech now will sum up the next 4 years. He is rambling about paint, golf,and long stories where no one knows what he is on about. And bringing people up to the mic ... no idea who they are, I don't think anyone knows

Fuck

Now it's YMCA blasting out

Bloody hell.

I am starting to think Reform could win the next GE now. People are so consumed with hate.

Hate and fancy but meaningless promises a la the Michael Rosen poem about Facism not marching in with jackboots but wheedling in as your friend.

Bloody awful result, I fear for Ukraine and Gaza.
Cat tax attached.

Maybe not. We'll have America as an example of what insular politics will bring.

I still think the world should not be buying into the Trump narrative that he's won until every vote, in every state is counted.

The result is not going to change.

I was prepared for Trump but I really thought it was going to be close

The bottom licking fron Farage will be nauseating.

This is so depressing. I feel really sorry for KH right now.

Speechless. It feels much worse than 2016.

There are already comments on other threads on how Labour should have been nicer to Trump

I am glad the UK seems an outlier at the moment but it is a stark warning.

It's a lot worse. The world is in far more turmoil, thanks to various other megalomaniacs, this time. He has told people exactly who he is and they still think the sun shines out of his carrot oiled arse. Much more, many of the checks and balances that were in place in 2016 are gone after his last stint. Plus Vance is there, ready to take over.

Yes, I saw the one about Lammy.

Well that’s the world fucked then.

The idea that there is a free trade deal to be had if we only had a different government/FS is for the birds.
Absolute nonsense.

I'm sure that is what Farage/Truss/Johnson/Badenoch will pretend is on offer but it's bollocks.

"This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world's largest economy & most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.."

Is it Trump?
Is it definitely him?

His nonsense about people eating cats and dogs sounded like it came from a drunk person but it's someone who will likely be president of America again. The man is a lunatic. I am not a psychologist but does it look like he has a grandiose personality disorder? That's what it looks like to be. He's all talk about how great he's going to be and how great America is going to be but there's likely going to be no substance and a lot of it is built on hate.
