Believe it or not, I think Trump will have problems with the Tea Party Republicans. He wants to spend 'biggly' and they are not going to allow that. Everything is working as intended.
At this point, I don't know what is possible anymore. I can't predict anything anymore. I'll just sit back, be at peace, and eat some popcorn until the next circus show arrives. Politics comes and goes in waves.

He announced a big job creation initiative (which was Obama's initiative, but the Republicans wouldn't allow it, claiming the budget couldn't afford it) via re-building and improving infrastructure. But he also said he was going to cut taxes. So it's not clear how he plans to fund it.
As a non-American, I don't oppose everything he stands for, but am enraged that he won't honour the American commitments to reduce GHG emissions, and will actively work to increase them. The Paris Accords were unbelievably hard to make happen and the deal with China was a win for the entire world. The international community was finally making real strides towards addressing climate change. He may be my president, but it's all our atmosphere, so I definitely care about that, it's almost an act of aggression against all of us for him to trash our environments by destroying these agreements.

My eternal question in this case is (particularly in light of all the promises "to bring jobs back to the US") with taxes being cut supposedly in order to "create more jobs in the US," where are the guarantees that these "spared money" won't be invested somewhere else, but specifically for creation of American jobs?
Isn't it capitalism 101 - the free flow of money and search of the best returns on investments?
Pure partisanship right here. Dubya Bush was a terrible President and did indeed drag us into a war in Iraq, but he certainly did not cause 9/11. A sick, disgusting ideology did. Hillary approved of the war too. She is a solid war hawk with a rich record of military intervention.
I'm ok with the partisanship, but not for Clinton. Bush certainly did not cause it but it did not help it anyway. I still believe economy was destroyed and wars were useless. They ended up admitting there were no weapons of mass destruction anyway.
As an Australian, I'm glad that he won. Just to **** off the butthurt SWJ's and PC police out there.
