Trump has won 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[jdoe8]

WTF have I woken up to? Everyone is calling it for trump 😭😭😭😭😭

I'm still have trouble sleeping after brexit and now this 😭😭😭😭

FTSE due to open 4% lower on pre trading, well done.

I can't stand it. I'm just not going to watch. From now on, I'll stick to Netflix and i player.

The news is not my friend.

I feel that democracy is both a blessing and a curse....

Well, fuck.

For everyone saying Trump will be blocked by Congress - Republicans have got the house and the senate too.

Hell anyone with mothers, wives, female partners, daughters and sisters who voted for Trump is thick.

The fucker is going to speak. :(

Doesn't anyone here realise that it really doesn't matter who wins, because it's just a different face for the same machine! Trump/Hilary/Whoever the whole thing is just and elaborate distraction controlled and manipulated by the same group of psychotic despots who run this country. Please don't give in to fear and anger and other low energies because that is exactly what they want. Hopefully this will serve to wake people up to the truth of the reality in which we live in.

He won't be able to DO much really, Congress will tie his hands.

I just hate that I live in a country that would do this. I'm in shock.

The healthcare thing really did hurt a lot of people though (including us, DH makes less now than he used to and is going to make less again in January because our healthcare costs have skyrocketed following the ACA); it's not like the NHS.

Absolutely fucking depressing, watching his speech now, what a fuck up.

Bip. True, but he's still a puppet, and many Republicans also loathe him, so doubt he'll have free reign on decision making.

Do you think this is how the non-idiot Germans felt watching Hitler take power?

Oh dear dear dear dear... I fear for the world ...

It is depressing that the majority of the US feels the best man to be president is a man who is so filled with hatred, who is a racist, misogynist and who is clearly temperamentally unsuited to hold any sort of power. A billionaire businessman who has not paid his taxes for decades, who comes from a wealthy family, yet proclaims not to be a member of the elite and that he will represent the poor and downtrodden ! I am baffled.

me too jacks

I could actually cry right now and I'm not normally an over dramatic sort of person.

I knew this would happen, I knew they would never vote for a woman.

The depressing thing is, is it true that 29% of his votes were Latino and 29% Asian? The only reason I can see for them voting for him is pure sexism. (Percentages second hand info from dh, I haven't checked)

If you'd have told me when I was 7 that the US president was called Trump it would have been the funniest joke in the world. .. not so funny when it's real...

I'm in the waiting room at a train station and everyone around me is watching the news on the telly shaking their heads and looking faintly sick.

Fuck. The only consolation is that we no longer look like the world's most stupid electorate.

I am crying now and I'm a hardened cynic! Oh holy fuck America what did you do??!!??

Tbh I think either was a bum choice

What a hideous way to wake-up. To the poster above who said the only way out is an assassination but all the gun-totting maniacs voted for Trump, I was chatting to DH about this earlier, all it's likely to take is a year of Trump showing he has no plan and no power and one of his own will lose their rag and try to do it.

I not think the president has as much power as everyone thinks though. Nowhere near as much as the PM in the U.K.

I really think someone will assassinate DT.

God help us all

Fuck indeed.

Yank As an American myself, I hear what you're saying but I am all too aware of a republican congress which means that while his really stupid shit won't fly, they can still do some real damage.
