A bad day for the world

The world has gone mad

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

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.

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

as per the book "A massive impact".

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.

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.

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

Depressing news indeed.

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.

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.

Happy birthday, Jane! ??

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 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?

Putin has congratulated him

Our!

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.

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

Oh America, what have you done!

Be afraid, be very afraid

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.

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,

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

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

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

@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.
