America Has Spoken: The Whole World is Watching

[miamigirl1970]

Donald J Trump. The 45th President of these United States of America. The media declares it a shocking defeat against Hillary Clinton. Was it really? Trump stuck to a plan that worked to perfection in the Republican Primary, his campaign was built on his forward thinking, and his ability to speak his mind. And speak his mind he would. The New York Times said: A Repudiation of the Establishment. This win was a movement driven by discontent. The Reuters/Ipsos Election Day poll showed that 6 out of 10 people said that our country was on the wrong track. 75% of American's want a strong leader. But, there’s good, if ironic, news in this year’s dispiriting election. Stepping back, the meta-message is one of voter dissatisfaction, disenfranchisement and alienation.

Controversy has won! I believe Donald Trump will focus on building a cabinet to surround him. One that will be both brilliant and forward thinking. In 1906 Winston Churchill said, "Where there is great power there is great responsibility." I believe Donald Trump will take his power seriously, especially if his acceptance speech in the wee hours of this morning are any indication. Donald Trump is going to hold accountable the Establishment. I admit, for the early part of his campaign I was more of a skeptic than not. But when he I heard this, I started to listen more: " He has called for income-based student loan repayment, saying that graduates (or drop outs presumably) should not be asked to pay more on loans than they can afford."

Repayments should have a cap at 12.5 percent of the borrower income. That made sense. If the repayment process is suitable, more will pay back, less loans will be in default. When Mr. Trump spoke in Ohio in October and said this about higher education: He wanted to end tax-exempt status for colleges that do not use their large endowments to reduce the cost of tuition. " If colleges refuse to take this responsibility seriously, they will be held accountable." I am a proponent of change in the higher education system. So he got my attention, and kept it! I have written other My Take Articles reference Higher Education, and the rising costs that should NOT be occurring.

So we all have our thoughts and our beliefs. That is what makes our Nation Great! It is time to stop the divide and get on with it! Meanwhile President Elect Trump will have a Congress that is Red for the Majority. Let us watch and see, and hopefully learn that he will be serious about Making America Great Again!!!

[TadCurious]

Great job! A year-and-a-half ago, when he first announced his candidacy, no one (and I mean no one) took him seriously. But he knew something was out there that no one else did, and he had his finger on the pulse of it. Everyone said he could never win the nomination, let alone the presidency. Most of the polls leading right up to the election had him losing. They were wrong. He gave voice to millions of Americans who had been forgotten. And they came out to vote.

I feel the same way, here was my article last night:

Inasmuch as the Clinton campaign, the SJWs, and their big business and media enablers have been defeated in this year’s election, they retain very well-oiled and effective means for trying to undermine President Trump once he takes office. Trump’s first priority as Commander-in-Chief must be to remove the bureaucratic apparatchiks preventing a full and frank investigation of the Clinton Foundation. He also needs to clear the way for legal inquiries into the various criminal activities, as uncovered by Wikileaks, perpetrated from within the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The Department of Justice in particular has engaged in all manner of skulduggery, most notably when Attorney-General Loretta Lynch had a private meeting with Bill Clinton during the most crucial time of the FBI investigation into Hillary’s emails. Additionally, elements of the State Department illegally informed Hillary about new developments in that same case. Enough is enough. It’s time to drain the swamp.
Election night produced another curve-ball: after weeks of calling Donald Trump a “sore loser” for him not saying if he would respect the final result, Hillary Clinton refused to speak to her supporters and the American people. It would seem that she only telephoned Trump privately. So who’s the sore loser now?
Last night we were witnesses to the greatest electoral sea-change in American—and perhaps global—history. We cannot lose sight of the work to be done, but for the next 24 hours we can bask in this unprecedented victory against all odds.
Hail to the Chief, Donald J. Trump.

[Nothanks700]

Problem is our country wasn't "going in the wrong track" not by a long shot. The deficit was practically demolished under Obama, a healthcare system with kinks mostly due to several state governors being assholes but by and large a well working healthcare plan was established, the markets were more stable pre election cycle, gas is cheap as hell, the list goes on. No people wanted racist, white man on top America back, and Trump represents that. But he will destroy everything we've built. His plan is disastrous and doubles the deficit at the very least with no real economic gain. The man has no idea what he's doing and he can't even answer simple questions about foreign or domestic policy. This isn't about ideology. It's about the fact that you litteraly elected an idiot to the highest office in the world. Not idiot in a "I don't agree with his views" kinds of way, but an actual fucking idiot. Romney, MCain, Bush- all intelligent people. trump is a moron, and you just put him in charge of our country

[JastyForLife]

It has already happened. I don't support trump nor will I ever.

[JohnDoe3000]

@Nothanks700

Exactly. The country was doing better than before and in the areas where it wasn't Trump's "solutions" are inferior and more expensive. His foreign policy would also be one of alienation of many friends and potential friends in favor of sucking up to a few assholes like Putin and Netanyahu.

[gotc147]

You are not a very smart person.

[Nothanks700]

@gotc147 how so? That's the reality bud. Our economy is stable, and you'll come to realize what a huge mistake electing an orange man child to office was

[miamigirl1970]

I didn't realize about the deficit: www.washingtontimes.com/.../ The one thing a brilliant leader will do, is surround himself with brilliant people- www.breitbart.com/.../

[gotc147]

@NoThank700 Oh yeah, almost half the country not working, half of the rest working part time for minimum wage, growing deficit, debt so high there isn't an adjective in existence to describe it, what part of this is good?

[miamigirl1970]

@gotc147 - that is how I see it too!!!

[Nothanks700]

@gotc147 the deficit is not the debt, it adds to the debt. The deficit when Obama took office 8 years ago was over 9% of the GDP, today it is less than 4% of the GDP. The debt has been accrued over several administrations. People are uneducated about what sovereign debt actually is though; politicians often use it for political gain. The national debt is an issue, that's true, but it's not unsustainable as long as we continue to cut the deficit. Trumps plan, as noted by several economists on both ends of the aisle, more than tripled the deficit, adding to the problem you are talking about. Half the country is not in unemployment. I've heard that assanine figure before and the only way to reach it is to include retired, disabled, or otherwise non working people and children. The unemployment rate is at around 4.9%. Most economist consider 4-5% unemployment to be essentially limited unemployment due to seasonal rotations. Half the country is not working for minimum wage either

[Nothanks700]

@gotc147 even half of working people are not working for minimum wage. Even if they were, Trumps policies would just make the problem much worse. Mass deportation, hostile relations with Mexico, increased tariffs on foriegn goods, ending NAFTA, all of these would be disaster out to our economy, and certainly out Ag economy. It's not just liberals who think this. This is a bipartisan view amongst economists. Please check your facts, this isn't funny anymore, you people are just believing whatever the hell that idiot tells you and doing no research. Meanwhile, our country is at the brink of catastrophe.

[gotc147]

@NoThank700 For someone who calls other uneducated you have a hard time reading.

I never said the deficit was the debt, I said the deficit was growing and said the debt is so high and adjective doesn't exist that can describe it.

You want to lower the deficit? Don't vote Democrat.

[Nothanks700]

@gotc147 the deficit is not growing, that is literally the opposite of the truth. There's not even any arguing that. I mean what in the actual fuck is wrong with half our country right now

[gotc147]

@Nothanks700 What's wrong with half the country? Look in a mirror.

[Nothanks700]

@gotc147 my point is that you are disputing actual facts, the deficit is being cut and has been for years, that's no more debatable than the sky is blue. Yet you dispute it out of some need to side with Trump. A man who has said far les sfactual things in this campaign than he has said facts. You are trading your economic freedom, and the security of America, to be a little more explicit in your racism. It's ridiculous

[gotc147]

@Nothanks700 You are utterly clueless: www.forbes.com/.../#3216b9c87146

Now that all of Obama's policies are taking effect the deficit is going up, or did you stop paying attention when it stopped suiting your delusional worldview?

[Nothanks700]

@gotc147 this article is obviously ridiculously biased. It even states that the deficit is "expected to increase" in 2018/19. However this is merely a prediction, it also blames entitlement programs a presidential vacation. The deficit is not rising, the article admits although very loosely and falsely states that it is currently rising (it isn't). The majority of the deficit by the way is military spending, entitlement spending is dwarfed, even negligible by comparison. As for the vacation. Every president has done this. We are not paying for surfing excursions, we are paying for secret service, etc. which is an unfortunate necessity. Trump will do it too. We can't expect our presidents not to take vacations.

[Nothanks700]

@gotc147 the deficit is slightly more than it was in 2015, however these are fluctuations. During Obamas tenure the deficit was cut more than half of what it was originally, and that's still true today. Saying the deficit is rising is playing awfully loose with definitions. He's been in office 8 years, his policies have already taken effect. You can say the economic impact hasn't all been witnessed yet, but he deficit is effected by policy pretty much right away

[gotc147]

@Nothanks700 Typical reality-denying liberal, there is no sense talking to somebody who looks at a green cwr and says it's orange.

[Nothanks700]

@gotc147 Thea was are literal facts dude. The deficit is only slightly more than it was last year and significantly less than half of what it was when Obama took office- that is reality. I'm not denying anything- those are literal facts. There is no disputing them. Seriously, wtf?

[gobsmacked3]

I was shocked to see an ultra conservative society like America elect a black in obama but i could never fathom them being progressive enough to vote in a woman

Trump was the master mercenary in knowing how to hit the noted trigger points in the American voting fraternity and being expertly opportunist in preying on the fear factor. All while smiling as he toted out the patriotic 'rara'

In summary, he is the lesser of two evils, with him essentially a puppett on the strings of the faceless power broking masses using his public appeal to get in power and further their agendas-

#RonnyReagen#2

Hilary had a long history of having blood on her hands in some very sordid and insidious dealings

[COCOCHANEL]

ultraconservative? america?

[JastyForLife]

@gobsmacked3 Pretty much you are saying a woman shouldn't be president and that black people aren't good enough to be presidents. President Obama was a wonderful president who got more done than Trump ever will.

[castratedwhiteguy]

@JastyForLife You have a lot to learn. FYI, Obama was a disaster for this country and he screwed over the very people who voted him into office. Obama was the worst and most treasonous president in American history.

[DonRomeo]

@castratedwhiteguy Obama was/is an asshole for sure, but the worst? What about Ronald Reagen? George W Bush many would say. Obama ain't no Jimmy Carter but what America needs in power is Moderates, and he was at least the figurehead of projecting calm. Trump is an extremist outside as well as in.

[mostwomenshouldstfu]

Your logic sucks. America judged both candidates on policies, not race or gender

[JastyForLife]

@castratedwhiteguy I think differently. Name one thing Obama did that was horrible for our country.

[Lightspeed-Lemon]

Is it shocking that a rude, arrogant and abrasive reality show host with no political, military or diplomatic experience, who has cheated on his wives and groped women, running on a platform against minorities and immigrants, with little support from his own party, could beat a respected Washington insider with decades of experience to win the presidential election? Yes. Yes it is.

Hillary = EPIC FAIL!

[miamigirl1970]

I guess the point of the matter is that The PEOPLE are the ones tired of the Washington Insiders. Decades of experience? And all those decades and accomplishments were? Even though Trump has no political experience, he is a person that will surround himself with the People to Do Great Things. That is what makes exceptional Leaders!

[CrazynKinky]

Or the states are as racist and sexist as there stereotypes always stated

[JastyForLife]

@miamigirl1970 Trump doesn't care about the people. He is going to raise taxes for the poor and lower them for the rich. He is racist and sexist because of his comments on mexicans and blacks. President Obama has made lots of major accomplishments in his two terms as president. I don't see Trump getting anything done. Also what "great things" is he going to do for our country?

[Rissyanne]

You mean decades of crimes. She is a criminal

[JastyForLife]

@Rissyanne Trump has not paid taxes, he talked about women with offensive and sexist terms, and he has said many things that aren't constructive.

[Rissyanne]

@JastyForLife Over half the people I work with dont pay any taxes. In fact they get back way more than they would ever pay in. Hillary took millions of dollars from countries that has Shari Law. They oppress women and keep them down. You know I am right. She hates women.

[JastyForLife]

@Rissyanne Actually I don't know you are right. Just because your colleagues do it doesn't mean it is legal or the right thing to do.

[Rissyanne]

@JastyForLife most of the women I work with are single mothers. And they have a lot of kids... for deductions. It is totally legal. I guess you are in denial about Hillary taking money from those countries that have Shari law.

[DonRomeo]

I dont disagree. But with either of those two winning, we are still fucked fucked fucked.

His cabinet appointments are more important to me than his (indeed progressive-sounding) higher education policies.

Rumour has it that he may appoint as Attourney General the one and only Rudolph "9/11" Giuliani, and if that happens, everyone will have to find something else to do in the evening as the adjective "fucked" will need a stronger successor.

[JohnDoe3000]

Thinking that whenever someone wins something they had a brilliant strategy is a fallacy. Donald Trump is like a drunken sailor randomly walking about until he hits his toe against a pot of gold, both in business and politics. I hope to god his cabinet and staff will consist of sane people, but most likely they will be "establishment" republicans, heritage foundation members, etc... So apart from Trump himself this administration won't even be a break from the establishment and old Washington.

[jman46241]

I wish I would have seen this earlier.. The shock is coming from those that paid attention to the mainstream media and many people from around the world that don't take the time to see what Trump really had to say. He ran a strategic campaign that focused on the rust belt. Not only was this smart, but also so painfully true to see all of the abandoned warehouses and factories in that region.

[FatherJack]

Certainly a better choice than Killary !! I think our PM Teresa May will be pleased too , as we have the rough equivalents of the Republicans in power , with a sizable Parliamentary majority. He will no doubt have some involvement in the UK leaving the EU... I voted " Leave " back in June.

[Anonymous]

America has not spoken. The system has spoken.

"While Trump managed to gain an electoral college victory, not only did he get fewer votes than Hillary Clinton — a fact that, remarkably, seems to merit nothing more than a footnote in almost every discussion of the election — he got fewer votes than Mitt Romney in 2012, fewer votes than John McCain in 2008, and fewer votes than George W. Bush in 2004. In total, fewer than 26 percent of eligible American voters cast their ballots for the man who will occupy the Oval Office come January."

[RationalMale]

Trump won because politics has shifted from ideas to identity politics, about your race/sex.

The Democrats didn't realize that by encouraging identity politics, they simply can't win without whites.

[mostwomenshouldstfu]

What?

[RationalMale]

@mostwomenshouldstfu put shortly, democrats allied with black lives matter, la raza, said whites are evil racists, thrn was shocked when whites did not vote for them.

[mostwomenshouldstfu]

Yup. Whites got guilt hangover.

I had doubts about Trump myself until I saw D. Duke supporting him. As long as he has the support of Duke I will support him too. D. Duke is the most trustworthy American politician in my opinion...

[MrShinyPants]

Actually Hilary got a majority of the votes and there were 4 states they didn't count, when they saw trump was being left behind in the polling they had the electorial collage overide citizens votes and put trump through, which is allowed as long as the electorial collage exists, which is a group designated by a larger group to be allowed to over ride votes if it does not tip in the favor of the senate and Congress and Rothchilds and Rockefeller etc..

Um yes they are. Like every country. Why because no one thought the entire country was that stupid

@CrazynKinky Whoa take it down a notch. The whole country is stupid? So including you right because you live in the US. I mean I am not stupid I know that.

[CrazynKinky]

@JastyForLife I'm not American. It's why I know how many people are laughing at y'all. Go to another country it's the joke of the world. Not just trump people weren't a fan of Hilary but they never thought you'd actually elect trump.

[CrazynKinky]

@JastyForLife Not the whole country just the vast majority that voted and the ones that didn't

[JastyForLife]

@CrazynKinky I never supported trump. He is racist and sexist. I believe he is not fit to be president.

[Djaaaaay]

@CrazynKinky You insinuating I'm stupid !!

@Djaaaaay Sweetheart I'm not insinuating anything.
