I think that he will do okay as a president. I have confidence that he can make the right choices and be open-minded to the cabinet and his peers.
People need to keep in mind that just because Trump was elected president doesn't automatically call for WWIII. That's stupid. He won't even be sworn in until January 20, 2017!
Also, those people who say that they are leaving the US because of him being elected president obviously aren't thinking straight. They can't escape from the US. At all. No matter where you go, the new president's actions will follow. The United States is one of the leading countries in the whole world, so it would have a big impact on other countries, especially when it comes to the economy and foreign affairs.
Not showing support for our government is (I consider) un-American. Heck, I would support Hillary even though I think she deserves a life sentence.
People aren't even willing to give him a chance. I could see people freaking out if he's been president for a year and a lot of bad things have happened, but he hasn't even been announced the new president for very long (what, 12 hours?). They really need to think this through before they assume that this guy is going to absolutely ruin our country.
If he tries to ruin our country he can and will be impeached. Then we have Mike Pence. A guy you can trust.
Gotta have faith!
Is not whether or not he is going to make the right choices (I don't think he will but, anyway). Is just that his campaign was covered in racist innuendos (at times not so hidden), in a misogynistic way of thinking, in an appeal for violence and force to solve issues that could be solved through dialogue, and that's what is alarming.
The fact that he was supported by the Klu Klux Klan, the fact he admires Putin, Sadam Hussein, Kim Jong Un (all ruthless dictators). The fact everyone ignored pretty easily how disgustingly he talks about women in pro of a "greater America" is what is alarming.
The fact his Vice-President is just as close minded and supports a "conversion therapy" proposition in which they will electrocute the LGTBQ people to turn them "normal" is what is alarming.
Is the fact minorities are scared to death because they are uncertain of what will happen to them. They are realizing how unwanted they are in a Country that pledges to give "freedom and safety" to everyone (as long as they are white cis males of course).
Is how people, especially Trump's followers, will become from now on. They know all this behavior is backed up and celebrated by their president, by their government. Violence is accepted now. Racism is accepted now. Hate is accepted now. Is the fact we minorities will have to be extra careful now, and try not to practice a particular religion, or say our sexual orientation, or be careful around white people because of the color of our skin.
Do you think being afraid of who you are is truly "freedom"? You say not supporting your president is un-American, but tell me, if your President threatens the peace of your beloved country, and you see him do whatever he wants with it, and scare communities to please only one community, and you just stand still saying "yeah... well this is what the country wanted, he's our President so he's qualified, he'll know what to do", don't you think that is more un-American?
