Officially the closest the most powerful nation have ever come to electing "millhouse" from the Simpsons as President.

Historians for years to come will wonder how the fuck we didn't see WWIII coming.

Shits about to get interesting folks.

Millhouse?

I'd have gone with Nelson Muntz or Ralph Wiggum.

Probably Ralph....

Just remember that the US voted in ronnie reagan who was deemed a joke yet he was the man who suceeded in getting reductions in nukes by talking straight to the russians, we can all hope that trump can do the same by not being part of a corrupt leadership that only feathers their own nest and lets face it if clinton cant beat him when in the main the establishment has been on her side then she must be really hated in the states

I see no hypocrisy in consistently expressing the view that Trump voters (and brexit voters for that matter) contain a significant number of racists, misogynists and idiots within their midst. Where's the hypocrisy? Of course my opinion matters more to me, why on earth wouldn't it?

I blame the public. I am a member of the public. I am an ordinary person. Donald and Nige might not think so, but I am a "decent" person. A hardworking person. I'm not an "elite", whatever the fuck that means now.

Maybe those who voted for trump and brexit would say that it is those who voted aginst both are the idiots and have fallen for the hype of the establishment self interest, who makes you and the others that agree with you correct and the clever ones, there are always two sides and different opinions, neither has the monopoly on being right but calling the other side names means you have lost the argument,if clinton and remain were soright why didnt they improve their argument to convince people ?

I know of all people from all racial demi graphs and religious demi graphs who voted for bexit. I even know of someone who was a well respected and thought of liberal councillor for over 16 years who voted for bexit. that's why I find those who call names and try to force labels on to those who don't think as they do rather alarming people in all honesty .

Why do people love to act oblivious to the obvious reasons as to why people voted for Trump/Brexit/Afd in Germany etc?

People feel threatened, their quality of living is declining and of course believe it or not there are still an abundance of people who hate other races, gays, other religions etc etc etc.

People bought into the "We are all one" bullshit which the past year or so has clearly shown you that is false.

The world feels like a far less kind place after Brexit and this US vote.

The tone has changed.

As a species there is a tendency to divide between us and them when competing for resources. Our better natures make that group larger, but under times of stress the "other" is often blamed for our problems. Thishas historically been a different race or religion. Communists, liberals and the out of touch elite have now been added to the list.

Eventually, after the blood letting it inevitably turns out that nothing improves. Isolationism or military expansion eventually generate the opposite result to that wanted.

They serve to serve themselves. They take the electorate for granted.

They don't do as the people ask and they lie far too much.

Trump bankrolled his own campaign and no doubt he might line his own pockets not that he needs to.

The fact is this is a massive shake up. How can someone who's not even a politician go and become the President of America despite all the press and others being dead against him.

Whilst I would have preferred Clinton in a lesser of 2 evils perspective I think its wrong to simply say that some Americans are stupid because they chose him..

it ignores why they did vote for him and the issues that for those people is their reality or their perception of the reality and why they ignored a lot of Trumps faults which are many..

pandering to people who are feeling left behind and for whom their employment has gone or been downsized, having someone to blame (illegal's, Mexicans and the elite)is something that other's in history have done to build a movement..

whatever the views of those who chose him they will expect him to deliver and that is the hard part given the debt they have..

The idea that Donald Trump is going to take on "The Elite" is as mystifying as it is ridiculous.

He ran on a ticket that promised to slash taxes for the richest 1% and corporations.

His entire manifesto is targeted at corporate America, which is at odds with his bizarre anti-global mercantile trade restrictions. Getting rid of any climate change obligations or tax effects should help - get those filthy chimneys pumping y'all.

The re - industrialisation promises are little titbits to draw in the blue - collar rust belt constituencies but the only way they can be achieved is to scrap international agreement and put major tariffs on outside goods - and I mean major! Even then, there'll have to be a bonfire of worker's rights.

All this without even thinking about his regressive social policies which are a pander to the Christian right.

That's so funny; it's sad; but a gem of self promotion;

Trump is in fact, a supremely unsuccessful business man;

His enterprises fail continuously; he has relied on his fathers money, and in reality, has lost more of his fsther's money, than he has made;

He has manipulated foaled businesses, by selling them off quickly, at a loss, to finance newer projects;

Nowadays, he sells mostly his name; the majority of the projects named "Trump xxxxx" are named because he has sold the right to use his name, to the real owners.

The majority of his " fortune" is imaginary; the real reason that he would not release his tax returns, as he did not want to expose that in reality, he is nowhere near as wealthy and successful as he says he is.

And people believe him!

"Did someone forget to tell America that it's the "better" candidate they're supposed to vote for?

They looked to us for an example, saw 23rd June, and voted like we did!"
. . . . . . . .

The citizens of the US of A just held a lesson for their politicians. They called it : Democracy.

Democracy's are never easy, Communism and Right Wing Junta's are much simpler, but in a Democracy the VOTERS get to do one big thing . . when they vote they show the politicians who holds the real power.

The majority of the population of Germany thought they got the right leader when Hitler gained power.

"Meh - we voted for Brexit (and Farage by association) so aren't much better."

We didn't vote Farage into power.

Most Americans are not stupid rather like most of those who voted for Brexit are not racist, it is the Liberal Elite and the likes who are out of touch with the majority and think that because people have voted contrary to their opinions they must be stupid, racist, sexist or some other reason not that they might have a valid reason.

Politics in recent years has changed it used to vote for us because we have listened to your concerns and will try to make changes to improve your lives and allay your fears, now it is vote for us because we know what is right for you. They are dictating to the populous rather that convincing them.

This is ironically turning into a lecture but for those that wonder how people could vote for Brexit or Trump they should perhaps watch the Ken Loach film 'I, Daniel Blake' which many are lauding and ask yourself this if that film is a true representation of life outside of London why, when asked to vote to remain or leave the EU would somebody in that situation choose to remain.

The same is true for Americans disregard the likes of New York, Washington and Los Angeles, the rest of America is not having quite such a rosy time of it. Clinton represented the establishment whilst Trump was a new voice saying things that a large number of Americans wanted to hear. Will he do many of the outrageous things he promised during the election I suspect not and in 4 years time Americans will decide if they like what he has done.

I find it pretty mad that any woman, LGBT person or anyone of another ethnicity can support Trump. That's why I found it so surprising that 29% of Hispanics voted for him, even after his comments on immigration.

Trump was surprisingly the most GLBT friendly republican candidate so for right leaning GLBT types he was far more acceptable than Rubio Carson Kitchen or Jeb Bush. The Hispanic vote is a bit more complicated, established Cuban Americans lean naturally towards the Reps (a hangover from Castro) while the Puerto Ricans are solidly blue so it's difficult to take the Hispanic/Latino vote as a single block.

actually they are terminally stupid..."

Does that include American blacks and Hispanics or only whites? I already know the answer. A great example of arrogant 'Liberal' racism.

"The majority of the americans arent as stupid as i thought, they voted for the right canditate.

actually they are terminally stupid, as in the first place, they voted to bring the two worst candidates in living memory into the competition, when there were less awful options, and then were fucked as they then had no choice but to choose one of them.

And then chose the worst of the two ."

It is laughable when so many people on here "fab" whinge and tell us that the people of America are stupid

The majority have better homes, better country, better facilities, better scenery and most of all a better life and yet so many on here sit in a shabby cold room behind a pc telling us how stupid they are.

Some really need to get a life, perhaps travel the usa rather than sit behind a pc desk.

Speak for yourself. I have a lovely home and a great life. That's why I don't need a scapegoat (be that immigrants, the EU or those nasty openly gay ex Olympic fencer judges) to blame for my shitty little life.

No, I don't have a shitty little life. It's the trump and brexit voters who are angry about their lives. At least, that's what we're being told, isn't it? I'll try to keep it to two syllables or less in future, to avoid confusion.
