Sorry, I know this may sound wide-eyed and stupid and ever so slightly off-topic but I didn't want to start another Trump thread of my own... but on the basis of EVERYTHING this man keeps saying and doing and tweeting, I am literally baffled as to how he is going to be sworn in as president next week.
I'm not as up with the American media as I should be but are any of the papers/columnists there calling for a stop to this madness?
And it honestly seems like madness. I know he 'won' the election (ha!) and millions of people voted for him but SURELY in the light of the hacking stuff, somebody somewhere should be trying to put a halt to it? Probably that can't even be done? I know there's a big thing about the peaceful transfer of power being one of the things the US system prides itself on but what's happened these past couple of weeks surely should make an exception? Not saying he can be stopped from becoming President right now but is the question being asked?
More to the point, I haven't seen or read anything about the opinions of the people who voted for him. Are they all just cheering him on?! I don't know many Americans (certainly none who voted for him) but aren't any of them popping up to say they're a tiny bit uncertain about the way they voted now that it's been pretty clearly shown the result was affected by Russian hacking?
These are all genuine questions, btw, I know they might sound a bit stupid but I'm sitting here day after day completely astounded that the juggernaut is rolling on even in the wake of the endless crap that keeps coming out...
Oh, and on a side note, wtf is DT doing with all these inane tweets respsonding to anything he doesn't like??? He sounds exactly like my 3 yo. I tell her she must be tired, she'll yell at me 'I'M NOT TIRED!!!!' (while sobbing with tiredness) because she's a 3 year old and she thinks because she says something (loud enough) it must be true. Just tweeting 'FAKE NEWS, PEOPLE' or whatever the fuck it is, every time someone prints something you don't like hearing... that's the hallmark of a tyrannical overtired pre-schooler, not a man who's about to become President. And the Meryl Streep stuff (basically, calling her a big poo-poo head when she said something he didn't like) is the same. Embarrassing.
More worryingly, there is clearly nobody around him who is able to tell him not to do this stuff.
It appalls me.
