Well that’s the world buggered then.

Goodbye to any hope of peace and safety for the world, or saving the climate, women’s rights and ending racism.
Poor Ukraine will be the first casualty.
Putin will be breaking out the vodka and caviar today.

At least the giant orange fruitloop can't run again when this next four years is over.

Every cloud and all that.

I agree though. Awful man. I wish Harris had won. If she had though, he would have just run for president next time.

And imagine how bad the riots would be today/the rest of the week/the rest of the month - if Harris had won! 😱

Hilter won a democratic election. Doesn't mean there's a better alternative to democracy.

Yeah, right!

They also need a better choice of candidates.

Was it Churchill who said it was the worst way to choose a leader, except for all the alternatives

His son can though. I suppose we must be thankful that Elon Musk cannot.

@ForPearlViper what's to stop Elon Musk from running? I'm not knowledgeable enough about American politics to know why.

Terrible and this time it will be worse because the world is a much more dangerous place and all the advisors who held him.back have left saying he is crazy. This time he had surrounded himself with yes men.
If you can't see the danger I despair

... hoping that he continues his comedy acts ...

Seriously, it kind of sums up world politics at the moment. The right is moving up....

Wasn’t it Trump that suggested the possibility of an injection of disinfectant in a person infected with the coronavirus? I feel sorry for his advisors.

I honestly think people need to wait it out and stop scaremongering- who knows what’s in his head? Maybe his objective is world peace so he can tell everyone he was the first president to end it all yada yada yada!!

Ps I am also craving different threads- a fridge going missing, a parking one where horseboxes have decided to use op’s driveway (with diagrams) or a guy just walked in and claimed he lives here, but I’ve fallen in love with him, kind of thing!!!

He wasn't born in the USA. If you remember, Trump propogated the conspiracy theory that Obama hadn't really been born in the USA and therefore wasn't eligibe to be president.

Off topic but sorry, that's the most Mumsnet typo ever! 😄

I can’t stand Donald Trump but can completely understand how he won the election.

Stop the handouts hopefully.

This type of posts would become very dated soon. Once the world does not come to an end they would be challenged more and more as ridiculous.

That’s so true! Yes my one consolation is that this is it for him now.

Currently you need to be born in the USA to run for president. To be fair I think that is a bit of an odd approach these days. Trump might try to change it. Who knows?!

Handouts? How fucking dare you?!

What is it you are saying exactly @Berlinlover?

@dottiehens completely agree!

Here here! The usual trash threads have died down and honestly that's what most of us are here for! This pearl clutching is boring.

I would expect JD Vance to succeed him. He has working class roots, ex military etc. Hillbilly elegy is worth a read or watch for anyone who want to know a bit more about his supposed childhood.

Oh shush

He can be president of Mars instead !

Let’s hope
