1) No wall will be built
2) Hillary Clinton will not be prosecuted
3) There will be no mass deportations (Giuliani has already started walking that one back)
4) There will be no American manufacturing jobs brought back to the U.S.
5) There will be no curtailing of the importation of foreign workers (in fact, expect for Trump to ask for more, as he has in the past)
6) Wall Street will be given a free pass by the Republican Congress, with Trump's blessing (sorry, but no, Trump is not only not an "outsider," he's embedded deeply into the structure of Wall Street)
7) The U.S. land will be destroyed, its resources extracted by multinational corporations to send to China
8) Education will be increasingly privatized by the Koch Bros. and their ilk
9) American highways will be privatized
10) The health insurance companies will be back in business, once Obamacare is eviscerated, with their predatory policies (including "pre-existing conditions")
11) Social Security will be eviscerated, as will be Medicare
12) Trump absolutely will sign off on the TPP
etc.
You just handed your nation over to bought-off American politicians, in league with multinational corporations--i.e., foreign interests, as well as to climate change deniers. In fact, the U.S. will now carry the distinction of being the only so-called "civilized" nation in the world led by someone who denies climate change (because, yeah, we know, all the world's climate scientists are in on some nefarious dark plot to further a big "hoax" about climate change--which I'm sure your grandchildren will thank you for). Congrats!
Trump told you what he knew you wanted to hear; he's nothing if not a master manipulator. And now that he's gotten what he wanted, he will shed you like last year's coat.
Nevertheless, as the truth dawns on you, you will find someone else to blame--Obama, no doubt--for every slam that Trump hits you with, because you won't have the courage to face the truth that you've been had.
If I remember correctly, in regards to Trump being a denier of
global warming, didn't he claim that he needed to build that wall
at his golf course in Scotland due to global warming causing rising ocean water? He is
slick that's for sure.
Yep, and his top pick to head the EPA is a climate change denier. Trump is a vengeful, know-nothing danger to the world. I think his followers have a death wish, which might explain their glee at being led off a cliff.
1) He will never run
2) He will never take a single primary
3) He will be finished by the summer
4) He won't win the nomination
5) Hillary will destroy him in the election, he doesn't stand a chance
YOU ARE WRONG, GO AWAY, SEE YOU IN 4 YRS
He's already rolled back some of those promises, so not quite so wrong as you think.
We'll see if he is true to his word and his campaign. But today he was palling around with that sleazy establishment tool Ryan whose agenda you laid out and his Senate sidekick McConnell. It doesn't look promising.
Look to the future as we all do. Put aside your very obvious need to divide even further. We are now picking up the pieces from the shambles of an 8 year Obama presidency.
What incompetence would that be exactly? The incompetence of bringing the country back from a financial abyss and job losses in the tens of millions.
The incompetence of bringing the stock market up from a low of 6,000 to today's close of almost 19,000?
Exactly what incompetence are you talking about??? Clearly, your memory is short.
Don't cite deficit/debt.
Why wouldn't there be deficits when the economy was almost totally destroyed and close to 20,000,000 were without jobs, not paying taxes, and needing public assistance for four to six years.
This is not the 80's. This is 30 years later when globalization, inversion, outsourcing, and technology have totally altered a recovery picture.
There is NO STANDARD for a recovery from a Great Depression in modern times.
It was your president which visited the calamity of a PHONY unpaid for war with disastrous consequences to the DEBT which has blown up the Middle East and resulted in MASS MIGRATION throughout Europe, incited terrorism,unfunded tax cuts which were actually THEFT from the Treasury.
It was your president - who, like Trump, btw, lost the popular vote - that dug such a deep hole we're just now getting out of it.
History repeats - once again the wrong person "elected" by NOT winning the popular vote - and we will have the same disastrous results.
You do know his so-called "tax plan" ADDS $4 TRILLION MORE to the debt that Hillary's. Or didn't you?
The Trump administration (not him, necessarily because there is no way he will be hands on in the job - he is not capable of it, he lacks the intelligence and will be passing everything off to someone else) will destroy this country.
We will have unfunded tax cuts, more debt, inflation, unfunded war, recession and a collapsing stock market.
You guys have elected a degenerate moron and a carnival barker. You did not elect a president.
That you can take to the bank.

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people

Think. Hillary did not lose the election. She got more actual votes than Trump. She lost the electoral votes. Do not think that Trump actually "won" and has the votes of the majority of Americans. People didn't elect Trump. The Electoral College did. Big difference. This is why there are so many very angry people all around the country.
what you need to understand though is its the electoral college that elects the president. its easy to win the popular vote, heck california, new york, and a few major cities will do that for you. the key though is winning enough states electors to win the presidency, and trump did just that. its civics 101, which is probably not taught in school these days, which is why people like you dont really understand how a presidential election works.
all elections are LOCAL elections. the states were given electoral votes based on population so that smaller states are not dismissed when voting for president. i personally do not want a few large population centers telling me who the president is going to be.
the reason hillary lost is because she had no message other than "vote for me because trump is a jackass". that was hillarys whole message, and people didnt buy it. and hillary could have won had she protected the rust belt states, wisconsin, ohio, michigan, pennsylvania. trump won those states because he went there and talked to the people. hillary made token visits and talked AT the people, big difference.
trump went in with an uplifting message of hope, and making america great again. he spoke to the peoples anger with the last several years.
hillary gave no reason to vote for her.
the people told hillary we are not going to take it anymore.
