So...was this your first time voting in a presidential election? The reason I ask is that you (for some reason) had an abnormally large amount of emotion invested in the results of this election.

Interesting...I always took you to be female.

Nonsense, unless you're young enough that Bush 41's presidency ended before you were able to talk, listen, and read. Bush 41 was more qualified.

In one of her speeches she said, "We're going to take some things away from you." That sounds frightening to me.

And she is inept. She couldn't secure the compound in Benghazi, and four Americans died as a result. That was after she engineered the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, who at the time was not a threat to the US.


Really? He does? Can you name them? What are they? He's built a very successful business. What has Hillary done?



What radical views? You don't see him finishing four years? Why? Why would he not finish four years?

Trump is a very exceptional man. He demands loyalty, and he is a perfectionist. He has people working for him (including many women) who have worked for him for decades. That says a lot about the man. And look at his family. They are polite, very well brought up kids, smart.

You have nothing substantive to criticize him for. All you have is sour grapes because your pick, a criminal, liar, cheat, and a very dishonest person overall, didn't win.

Get used to Trump. He's your President now. Get over it.

Very well said . So happy that he won

I don't know if they are "relieved" it won (yes, I did mean to say "it"). I remember the market futures tanking bigtime before the open, and then I think the money ghouls thought "YES, REGULATION WILL BE REMOVED."

Anyone predict when we will see a repeat of the "great recession" of 2008?

A lot of us did. Wonder why.

I often hear this from a few co-workers and think I worked hard to get where I am. I took the double shifts so that I could buy the various properties. I struggled through the housing crash and made it out the other side. I don`t consider myself rich but I am better off than most but then I worked my ass off to get where I am.

I voted for Trump among things hoping he kick starts the economy.

And for those under thirty who got burned by student loans and a worthless degree... I say they have learned a valuable lesson.

And better to learn it while you`re still young rather than at 45 like I was when the housing market crashed.

As I said, get away from those people, they'll only keep you down mentally and financially.

The elite would have done well regardless of who is president. And you do realize that a lot of middle class are riding that stock market up. The key is hoping the economy takes off so the value of the stock either catches up or keeps up. Instead of whining, start accumulating and investing to grow your net worth and passive income. Listening to and being a whiny baby will keep your attention off important things like building your foundation. People who are successful, people who building their net worth, people who are rich think different than the poor, and that would be a good first step for you to learn.

I always say that when the government gets involved in the name of helping the poor i.e... easy money, it always drives the cost up and people who could have afforded it before easy money no longer can and they have to borrow huge amounts of money. The same thing happened in the housing market, easy money, housing prices skyrocketed, people took on a huge amount of debt, greed and crash. It's sad that the kids today are paying the price for bad government policy.

The other evening I was watching a man giving a brief interview on television. This man is the money man behind a new Trump condo project somewhere, IIRC, in Florida that looks as though it is nearing completion. He (or possibly his bank) was providing all the money for the build and was licensing the Trump name and marketing prowess. He said (I'm paraphrasing a bit) 'We wanted access to Eric, Ivanka, and Don (re marketing, obviously), and we are willing to pay a premium for that. To us it is a win-win'. IMO, that says even more about the kids than anything anyone within the Trump family or the chattering classes could say.
