I can't believe it. I just don't understand why he's been voted for this much. He's an idiot

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 09/11/2016 07:18

I saw on Twitter earlier somebody saying something like 'Who knew David Bowie was holding everything together?' What a year this has been. Shock

' A good day to bury bad news ' ?

OrlandaFuriosa · 09/11/2016 07:19

Congress is Republican too.

On a cynical note, nows the time to buy US as the $ will go down.

witsender · 09/11/2016 07:19

Have they actually listened to him speak? He makes up words FFS. Seriously?!

mollie123 · 09/11/2016 07:20

no - this is not the same as Brexit. Brexit was not caused by angry people - it was sane people wanting to take back control from a corrupt undemocratic EU and decide our furture without their malign influence.
Trump being elected is fuelled by a much more angry set of voters - you cannot really blame them as much of the American electorate is uneducated beyond their own community. I agree he is a disaster (but so would Clinton have been in a differant way).

areyoubeingserviced · 09/11/2016 07:21

I am not going to lie . I am praying for divine intervention.
What a come down for America. They had Obama and now they have Trump.
They had the super intelligent Michelle Obama and now they have Melania.
The irony of the whole thing is that Trump cannot fulfil the numerous promised which he made. His own supporters will eventually turn against him and he will quit.

humblesims · 09/11/2016 07:21

Havent read the whole thread, I'm making breakfast and need to swear a bit. Fucking shitting hell. I cant fucking believe that cunt has been voted in. Utter fucking madness.
Right. Better get on.

Marilynsbigsister · 09/11/2016 07:21

Are their really that many idiots in the U.S ? Did they not listen to his horrific, misogynistic, xenophobic diatribe. ? Or they did but even worse .? Thought it ok, because that's all 'forgiven' because he's 'going to make America great again ' (whatever that means)

If he has won by a 'popular vote' , then they really have got what they deserve.

Backingvocals · 09/11/2016 07:21

I loathe, loathe, loathe the man - but my opinion of Hilary was only a fraction higher

I really don't understand this. She's not charismatic and Trump accuses her of being shady on the basis of very little. That's it as far as I can see. They are worlds apart in terms of their calibre.

Clearly she was objectively a poor candidate because she lost to a dreadful one. But it seems to me that there's a knee jerk reaction to a expert and knowledgable woman and that's not good. I suspect men won this election for Trump because of their issues with a woman like Hillary. We shall see what comes out of the data.

ThoraGruntwhistle · 09/11/2016 07:22

People would rather vote for someone with no experience in politics, whose businesses keep failing, who admits not paying taxes, has been accused of sexual assault, has made sexist, racist, xenophobic comments... but has a penis. They'd rather all that than have a woman president.
I am disappointed in people today.

SleepFreeZone · 09/11/2016 07:22

I am shocked.

c3pu · 09/11/2016 07:22

I'm having serious doubts about democracy.

derxa · 09/11/2016 07:24

Clinton should never have been allowed to run.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 09/11/2016 07:24

mollie. Yes. While I loathe Trump, Clinton is far from being squeaky clean.

Fairylea · 09/11/2016 07:24

My family is American. None of them are shocked - even though all of them voted for Clinton. They are all from the Deep South, where racism and sexism is normal. People outside the us have underestimated the intense hatred for Clinton and the willingness to embrace something "different". Unfortunately for the rest of the world that different is Trump. It seems from talking to my family most people in the us don't even care if he's racist or sexist as so many people are. They just overlook that part.

Ofalltheginjoints · 09/11/2016 07:26

Genuinely worried this morning having watched the news overnight and whilst it isn't confirmed a miracle is needed.
To feel that so many people have voted to Trump despite his views on women, his humiliation of disabled people is to me unbelievable, I understand that people are angry and want change in America but a man with no political experience, whose never held an elected office and is a reality tv star (plus dubious buisnessman who has had several episodes of financial difficulties) is simply terrifying and he now has control of the nucular codes (or will come January 2017)

I have the same sort of sick feels as the day after the EU vote here, 2016 has turned out to be quite the year of upheaval in future years history teachers will have a field day over the outcome, whoever mention Bowie was right

maddening · 09/11/2016 07:26

I think the FBI wanted him in - hence the sudden investigation of emails reported when voting had already started- so millions voted before they then came back and said no criminality- and on top trump could also contest it saying it was rigged if she did win despite their intervention. I think they want a fool and stooge in place.

LumpySpacedPrincess · 09/11/2016 07:26

D'ya know the one good thing that has come out of this?

No one can ever say that a rape allegation damages a mans career, it may even enhance it.

The man is racist and he is a misogynist and people seem to like that, just like they liked Farage.

DoNotBlameMeIVotedRemain · 09/11/2016 07:27

I feel like I want the planet to stop as I need to get off. Comparisons with Hitler are entirely justified. And Europe, who could try to stand up to him, are in chaos. Angry

LumpySpacedPrincess · 09/11/2016 07:28

The FBI have a lot to answer for.

Greengoddess12 · 09/11/2016 07:28

This is mysogynistim pure and simple.

SemiNormal · 09/11/2016 07:29

Thick hillbillies. - Oh the irony!

londonrach · 09/11/2016 07:29

😳 (no words)

SpiceAddict · 09/11/2016 07:29

I remember being so proud of the US when they voted Obama, and now they do this! It's unreal
