Apart from the nasty Farage, none of ours are complete psychos like Trump! It is terrible to be a bigot!

Hi

Well the polls got it wrong, but the Simpsons got it right.

Now his supporters will expect his hyperbolic statements to be set in motion.

Think with Trump as POTUS..

It will make brexit a lot easier for the UK next year.

He will make the French and Germans pay their fair share to the cost of NATO as we have been doing for years.

He will be more conciliatory to Russia more so than any American has in the past and with Clinton who would have made it more dangerous.

Saying all that I accept he is a MCP but so was Bill Clinton and even more so was JFK.

For a start there are over 3n plus million Americans.

For a second start there were two other candidates standing.

Ok why did not the voters who hated both Trump and Clinton vote for Johnson.

Why because I think the people who never have vote before in any election Voted for Trump because he was to them a breath of fresh air after the corrupt Politicians who have led them since WW2.

Absolutely nothing wrong with gay marriage if it makes people happy why not.

I am in favor of abortion too, women have a right to decide what happens within their bodies .

What Trump said before the election when he was trying to win the vote of the red knecks is one thing, when a President he may say something quite different

It will be nice to have a corrupt businessman instead of a corrupt politician in charge I suppose

Why not, it's a democracy right? Anyone can be PM in this country, if they went to the right school, and where born into the right family who have a few bob stashed in Coutts
