I feel physically sick. Misogyny, racism, criminality, hatred, violence, ignorance and conspiracy theories all elevated and revered. I'm done with Gransnet goodbye.

I thought people warning about the end of democracy were exaggerating but now I think they were right. A dismal day for the world.

I’ve been following the election closely but will now have to switch off from it. The sight of that man is not good for my well-being but I feel sorrier for democratic supporters in the US who will have to live with him for the next 4 years. At least he won’t run again in 2028.

Listening to Trump rambling on talking about himself just now only confirms my concern for the USA and the World. I wish you well America with your choice.

So how will the White House staff manage a president who is displaying every indication of edging towards dementia but has been mandated to have access to the nuclear button?

They have experience with a demented President.
I don’t believe he has dementia though.

Bizarre and dangerous days ahead for the whole world.
At least Netanyahu and Putin will be celebrating.

FriedGreen I could not agree more! Well done Mr Trump! Well done the American people!

Democracy is about accepting the majority vote, it's perfectly ok not to like the result and to discuss it, that's a benefit of living in a democracy IMO

Let's wait and see if he gets in,seems the sensible thing to do. He can't just go into the nuclear housing and press a button off his own back you know. There are huge safe guards against this happening.

Well I’m delighted. 🤩
Congratulations Mr. Trump. You’ve shocked the naysayers.
There will be howls now (think Brexit here). Some people only like democracy when their side wins.

Oh dear the crazy Americans seem to of voted in his favour yet again . A former president now with a criminal background . Could be reelected 50% to Kamala’s 49%
Not quite there yet, however . Get ready for yet more of his manic speeches
Cannot wait for his bat crazy eating garbage orange faced triumphant speech , he’s expected on stage very soon .
