Hopefully he'll be less interventionist in the Mid-East than Hillary would have been. America needs to get it's nose out of other countries' affairs and let them govern themselves.

...promising to do all sorts of nazi shit once he's elected, and other nazi shit once he isn't elected.

Hey, at least he isn't talking about putting Clinton in jail any more, it's a start. You'll get through these eight years best if Trump doesn't keep a single one of his fascist promises.


He promised to bomb every single inch of these countries and civilians be damned, torture the shit out of them, then suggested to take all their oil as compensation for the US war efforts.

Geert Wilders as PM? :o)

Well, our own show is coming next year (the drama has already started), so... *shrugs*

Who holds the majority in the Senate of the US?
Yes, another such an unthinkable thing that might come true. The PVV is at 36 seats of the 150 in parliament in polls. Election is in 2017. I'm scared shit for that as well. Luckily no-one wants to join in a coalition with the PVV, they made themselves impossible. But impossible things can happen, so it seems, looking at the US results today.

For me personally neither Trump nor Clinton are electable.

That said, I grant the German mainstream-media the election of Trump after their bashing of him and their shameless promotion of Clinton. Now they have to be polite to him. *snicker*

Republicans. Just saw this on TV.

I haven't really delved into what Hillary is like. I had hoped for Bernie Sanders to be president and turned my eyes away from the whole thing when he stepped out of the elections. The whole thing of politics, especially American politics is too aggravating to follow, it makes me worry too much and my life into a hell if I follow the news up close, I try to avoid it.

*edit: due to my mental illness I can't cope with a steady stream of bad things like the media brings, I want to see hopeful things, but my mind tends to mull on everything that's going wrong in the world and could go wrong, so I shut it off. Thus there's a lack of knowledge on my part, for which I'm grateful. What I know of everything that's wrong is enough to make my head burst and sink into a deep depression if it's wasn't for my pills and shutting off the news.

Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. Soon they will control the Supreme Court as well. I would've preferred a tie. That way we have Trump as president and Hillary as vice president (House and Senate determine president and vice president respectively in a tie).

Maybe we'll get a whole bunch of faithless electors - though very unlikely.

Good luck America for 4 years!. Trump is better person than Hillary. Maybe, he is going to be best president of United State. Time will tell this!

Good old propaganda. Some Europeans believed it exists only in Russia! ;D

Interestingly enough, if my Facebook feed is anything to go by (just reactivated my FB account), it looks like Trump's victory is likely to fatally split the European far-right. While UKIP's main politicians are celebrating his win, for instance, UKIP supporters are overwhelmingly condemning it. Same with the AfD - AfD politicians praising the win, AfD voters attacking it. I can only speculate as to why this is, but I think this is because, while politicians focus on partners with common ideological ground (so Putin-Trump-AfD-UKIP-FN), the voters tend to be outwardly xenophobic in all directions, which includes against Americans, and they see Trump as being part of the same corrupt establishment as Clinton.

The only comfort we in Europe can really draw from this is that, provided that Trump doesn't manage to unleash World War III (I still have some trust in the American system of checks and controls through Democrats and moderate Republicans in the House of Reps), we have a living, breathing example of how a far-right government will tear itself and the country it governs apart that's not right on our doorstep.

Sooo.... how long until the wall is build, and how is he going to Bill the Mexicans (and make sure they pay for it...)?

When will he disband UN and international trade deals?

How long until those surveillance thingies outside every mosque is in place? And who will pay for it now that taxes are going to be cut?

So by extension, you'd be a Saddam Hussein fan then, yeah? You do realise that the Syrian and Iraqi Ba'athists are cut from the same ideological cloth as Putin and Trump?

The Nazi connections are really only to establish an easy connection in terms of ethno-nationalist supremacism and tendency towards dictatorship, but looking deeper, Trump is ideologically more along the lines of Saddam Hussein, Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad.
