A bad day for the world

@nana3

Forget about leaving the EU, perhaps? Not much chance of trade with the US now. It could be to our advantage to be part of a bloc rather than an isolated little island.

Well, didn't actually like to say that dj but.... Happy birthday Jane. It'll be certainly one you'll remember - I hope it improves from now on

Had exactly the same phrase in my head BlueBelle. So fearful for the world my grandchildren have to grow up in. And his victory speech was sickening - so two-faced

whitewave Trump will have more sway than Obama did because the Republican party holds the majority in Congress.

Yes pit I do understand that, but, how much power does he have over say the nuclear button. Mind you that's a bit extreme I know,

Can't believe it, shows the level of dissatisfaction of the American people. Another thought if there is a general election in UK Boris could become PM then here in France Le Penn could be president. The world going to hell in a handcart.

Be afraid, be very afraid

Oh America, what have you done!

If we are horrified and scared by Trump I can't imagine how thousands of Americans are feeling right now.

It's like Brexit on steroids.

Markets down. No world leaders yet prepared to congratulate him except Le Penn that tells a tale. No doubt are staunch Brexiter Farage is thrilled.

Our!

Putin has congratulated him

Happy birthday Jane10 as others have said, one that you will never forget.

I could not believe what I was watching on TV early this morning, before the final result. What have the people of that country done?

What a disapointment. We can only hope that he will learn fast what diplomacy means and that the people around him with political experience that he doesn't have will be a stabilising influence in the White House. We can only wait and see. He's know to be no fan of the NATO alliance, so there are worrying implications there. We must just wait and see.

Happy birthday, Jane! ??

Sadly there's absolutely nothing we can do. We may rant and rave as much as we want but it will alter nothing.

We can only sit and watch and hope he calms down and doesn't go on some mad power trip. Not hopeful though.

Total shock when I turned on the TV early this morning.

Last night someone in America being interviewed said, 'It's not about who you're voting for, it's about who you're voting aginst!'

DH thinks he'll be assassinated.

What a sad state of affairs.

Depressing news indeed.

I'm shocked these so called TV people with money and power ruling the world
Whatever next!!!!

People need to take a more positive outlook here.
If you chuck a nuclear weapon, you will get one back. The Donald will be educated on that.
The unfeasibility of building a wall across the Mexican border.
with strong possibility that he will not deliver to his supporters.

Merlot, I'm ashamed of my own thoughts, like your DH I would not be surprised to see him assassinated, and I would not mourn.

They're calling it a 'Black Swan' event.

as per the book "A massive impact".

If you assassinate a leader you make him a martyr and will get the Donald Mark 2.
He will need to be educated towards moderation and learn the Art of Politics.

A sad day indeed for the world for trump to be in power. No class at all and his wife is not in the same league as Michelle Obama. Only after he is sworn in will we see what happens. Still watching g reactions of public on sky news

The world has gone mad
