I know it's bad that Trump won, it is. But I am glad that Hillary lost. In fact, back when she was running against Obama for the Democratic Party, I wanted Obama to win against her. I never liked her to begin with, but I didn't hate Obama back then. And when she was running against Bernie, I wanted Bernie to win. But he lost. And Trump was my least favorite of the Republicans. But it doesn't matter who wins. We're all screwed, but at least I don't get to see Hillary.

And I'm happy that you don't have to suffer his presidency in the next four years either. It's only the Americans that have to worry.

To be fair, he did say a lot during the election that was uncalled for. His treatment of women is an issue, but I think this election was more about the American public standing AGAINST something than FOR something.

If he continues to act like an idiot, the American people will turn against him very quickly. He needs to change the way he presents himself for there not to be a mutiny. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but we'll see.

He already acts like an idiot and clearly that doesn't bother anybody.

How much power is Trump really going to have as the president anyway? Some people make it sound like he could get a lot of his plans through but others seem to very much disagree. I don't know enough about American politics to know what to expect.

It depends on Congress. Sadly though, a lot of the seats were filled by Republicans so I'm not sure what will happen.

Frankly, it was a no-win situation. I'm not to happy with how polarized things have gotten. I'm sure you guys will persevere this time too though.

Yeah, it was kinda true that the election was like that.

If it was Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or Ben Carson that won the Republican nominee, I would vote FOR someone. But with Trump and Clinton, I had to vote AGAINST someone. My choice is to either let the bigot who said mean things win, or let the traitor who betrayed America win. Neither is a feasible option, but I had to vote, to keep the greater evil out.

So this means that my dad might get deported, and so my mother and I will probably lose our homes and starve to death.

Well, at least he wants to get rid of common core.

You're certainly optimistic! This won't happen. Please don't be surreal. Trump alone doesn't have the power to commit such acts against humanity.

i don't live in america, but i feel bad for americans, not just because trump got elected but also because from what i've heard clinton isn't much better.

i just hope that trump doesn't pass anything that basically undoes any of the stuff that's been put in place to try and make people more equal to each other, like the legalisation of gay marriage.

If Trump does this, America will riot. It's hypothetically possible, but not plausible, so as an LGBT person, I'm not worried.

Guess what I saw as I was reading the election results.

11,000 voted Harambe during this election. Wow!

Gee that's not suspicious at all. America elects an anti gay Christian zealot as VP, and a President who was elected in part from Russians hacking the opponent

washington and moscow have fundamentally conflicting strategic interests. putin may want to shake trump's hand, but he wont be charmed out of defending his country's interests. maybe trump can forge a constructive parnership with putin, but he should never mistaken that for friendship - moscow doesn't do friendship

Jawile · Nov 9, 2016

Are people really upset that we have a new potential ally like come on
It's PEACE
