I'm not politically minded, so please set me straight if I'm being ignorant.

I'm shocked at the turn of events but I'm not really surprised iykwim.

I have long thought that the British media are liars and in particular BBC, all I have seen on the reported goings on is a bumbling, ineffective, sexist man who has no political experience whatsoever and I could not believe that any person would seriously vote for him. Then we were shown snippets of chats with his supporters who came across as not very bright and couldn't answer most questions put to them. I couldn't understand then how he was managing to garner so many people at his gatherings. I started to think that he is saying something that is resonating with the people that I'm not getting to hear as there is no way on gods earth anyone with any sense will vote for this man but he has support and all poor Hilary did was have a different server for emails, which investigated twice, showed no offences committed. Now surely she is the lesser of two evils?

He won!! How? What has he said to the people to make this happen and it's not an insignificant margin. What has he said that has resonated with the people for this to happen?
Anyone?

I saw a timely tweet this morning along the lines of "we can only hope that Trump does a Boris Johnson post Brexit, shits himself and runs away"....

Another 9/11 we'll never forget.

TheFormidableMrsC · 09/11/2016 09:44

...I suspect an assassination, or at least an attempt, won't be far off...

birdybirdywoofwoof · 09/11/2016 09:44

Is he going to deport the Mexicans? Is he going to build the wall - and ask them to pay for it? Is he going to shut down the country of Muslims? Is he going to try and get Clinton locked up?

Who knows.

There is a massive bible belt in America, which contains women who are as anti women as any man. There are some of them who believe that a woman should not hold high office. They will repeat what their husbands say. There are also black and Hispanic voters who are just as anti immigration as the white working class middle America. He's got people to vote for him who feel disenfranchised. There are many Hispanics who cannot vote. The US born bible belters can vote, but they may not have until now. I did some work in an International school in London, with a few young Americans. They wanted Bernie Saunders. They were going to write 'Saunders' on the ballot paper. They would have all contributed to a Trump victory.

Hillary was good, fishewife. She was good and prepared. She would have done a great job.

Hahahahahahah she is a liar and a crook but slightly better than trump
I don't think anyone ever doubt the us was full of gun tooting rasicts yahoos and we now have pussy grabbing proof

Garthmarenghi · 09/11/2016 09:46

Congress will stifle any grand ideas that Trump has. I predict he will settle very quickly and that his headline ideas will be kicked into the long grass. Hysteria is not helpful.

LittleLionMansMummy · 09/11/2016 09:47

Raised it wasn't the Hispanics or even the women who won this for Trump. It was white men.

Trump has won 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thefishewife · 09/11/2016 09:48

Should of choose sanders will be in her head stone hahaha

IBelieveTheEarthIsFlat · 09/11/2016 09:48

"Hysteria" = Bingo!

birdybirdywoofwoof · 09/11/2016 09:48

Let's look at Trumps record then.

Oh he has none.

Lets look at some of the things he has said then.

I hope you're right. I think its a disaster (and so do most commentators...)

areyoubeingserviced · 09/11/2016 09:49

Thank you raised . Some posters don't understand that not all women believe in the 'sisterhood' particularly those in the Bible Belt regions .

CotswoldStrife · 09/11/2016 09:50

It is disappointing to see the politics of hate triumph. And worrying too.

But he's pretty unlikely to do half the stuff he has said - the wall, for instance - so his supporters have a bit of a tough time ahead of them as their expectations are not met.

I do wonder if he'll make it to the end of his whole term of office, not because of death threats but because he'll realise he will look an idiot when he can't do what he said.

I am fully expecting a few years of moaning from the electorate similar to what we have here now with the Brexiteers claiming they didn't know prices would rise, blah, blah, blah.

BlackNo1 · 09/11/2016 09:50

Loving the orange is the new black jokes going around.

For those who thought Dubya Bush was a laughing stock among other things....and I was one them, I have a sneaking suspicion Trump will surpass him.

This made me Grin

At least we can comfort ourselves with the thought that there's another western country even more stupid than the UK.

LittleLionMansMummy · 09/11/2016 09:50

C'mon. The first people to congratulate Trump were Marine Le Pen and Putin ffs! Closely followed by our very own T. May...
