A bad day for the world

19%of Latinos voted for him, so did many Blacks and women, his vote didnt just come from white male members of the KKK and uneducated neo-nazis. Should the normal well ajusted educated people who voted for him be ignored ?

I agree with Whitewave's last comment.

He is obviously saying what most of America is thinking.

JessM, Trump has a lot of money invested in the U.K

So what is happening? My initial theory is that the working classes are reacting to the result of globalisation and their lack of control, both here and in US.

He won't want to be making any free trade agreements with UK or anyone else will he.

It won't happen

Wonder if Trump will pursue his call for locking up Clinton? Grief. Everyone must hope and pray

They have not quite got the numbers of electoral votes whitewave

I am now on a self imposed news blackout listening to an audiobook. It's all too depressing.

Wonder what the hold up is? Perhaps the CIA is panicking

2016 is the year we will learn just how fragile freedom and liberty is.

Hard to believe my eyes. I'm saddened and very, very scared about the future. The dissatisfaction with established politicians has put us all in a very dangerous place.

Le Penn is cock a hoop

American muslims must been devastated

So probable leader of the "free" world is a rascist, a misgynist, a bankrupt, a tax avoider, is totally ignorant about foreign policy, has never held political office, has never been anywhere near the senate or congress and appears a total wally

Reeling.

Even before 6 I could see lights on in neighbours' / friends' bedrooms and I knew they were probably as shell shocked as I, watching News24. A text confirmed it.
What on earth is going on? A reality TV star ruling the world?
I'd feel safer with Kermit the frog.

I hope when he discovers that being president is totally different to being a TV reality TV host and much less enjoyable. What is worse is that the 2 houses look like being Republican.
A man with facist views, an unstable personality and a poor moral code.
What will happen when the people realise their lives are not going to improve.
Talk about a bad year in politics.

Unbelievable and unbearable

It really is Brexit all over again. Farage on the winning side again.

I think he is about to treat the world the way he treats women. Sad day for humanity.

Imagine if your are Mexican or black and a woman.

I am sat with my mouth open????

My initial thoughts that as with Brexit I think it is absolutely clear that there is a large level of dissatisfaction with the political classes.

This is true of most countries in the western world.

Need to get my brain around this.

Joining you in your lamentation, Jane10.

Well that's it then the world has gone to hell in a handcart a racist bigot with both parents who were in the KKK is wowing the people a man with mash potato for brains is about to become the most important man in the world I truely thought US wouldn't be as stupid as us I m crying for our world, it's finished
