    The President doesn't run America.

    No but a President with a House and Senate majority behind him certainly does.

    The Simpsons actually predicted Trump would be president around 20 years ago.

    And as Kent Brockman said "I've said it before and I'll say it again, democracy simply doesn't work"

    It's like voting for Jimmy Saville to mind the kids. Unreal America. You f#cking idiots.

    While I'm no way a trump supporter I can't stand that attitude of intellectual superior complex to recent results.

    The establishment is ignoring vast swaths of the population whose lives are worse then preceding generations whose future is poverty, transient and minium wage jobs and rising cost of living, the only way to be heard is to throw a spanner in the works.

    Having said that trump is a fraud.

    A better idea would be to have a proper left wing party in the USA rather than 2 right wing parties with one just having a lunatic element to it.

    But of course a lot of people in America think socialism is communism so that's never going to happen.

    Can someone explain to me how on earth Trump is 'anti-establishment?!'

    That's how he sold himself to the electorate, as someone who is not part of the political establishment.

    Trump says he will clean out the swamp.

    Only to find out that Trump won't be able to fix it for them. IPhones will still be made in China in 4 years time.

    The only saving grace is that he won't be able to push the nuclear button with those tiny hands..

    It's happened folks. You are only waking up but it has happened. A genuine unstable idiot has become president of the US.

    I will be asleep as you wake. But I will wake too and I will also think of the consequences and wonder is it a dream:eek:

    It's not a dream.

    It's real.

    F**k
    He's going to win and people are only now beginning to realise that he's not actually an unstable idiot. In fact, only he really knew what worked with the US electorate. Everybody else got it wrong.

    Big implications for Ireland as our 15% corporation tax loses its edge for US companies.
    Its also the end of political correctness. :)

    Trumps the man to make America great again.

    At least Trump will do what a lot of people really want done, yet were afraid to say, as the PC idiots will now have to back down.

    Trumps building the "Great Wall" will be a start, kicking out all the illegal "wanna-be" Americans is the way to go next and then stopping all moslims coming to America is on the cards.

    If he gets elected, then the majority of Americans want him to do what he said he will do.....

    Clinton could not even control two email accounts, let alone grasp the meaning National Security.....Clinton = Idiot.

    Markets all over the world are crashing. One trillion dollars of investment value has already been wiped out. Markets are falling so fast that automatic locks on trading have kicked in.
    Nato has placed 300,000 troops on high alert against Russia.
    In the US, the Canadian immigration website has crashed.

    Yes, because they are realising that the days of the US supporting The Market, instead of supporting its Economy are over.

    The Market will recover and actually will do quite well. The days of quantitive easing and printing money are over though.

    There may be a silver lining for Ireland if US multinationals decide to get the hell out of dodge and shift over here on mass - I wouldn't want to try and run a business under President Trump

    15% US corporation tax! This removes the Irish tax advantage. We still have our location but we will have to work for our advantages in future and, for example, take the huge additional costs out of our economy.

    This is hilarious, Trump is not going to do ANY of the things he said he would, a total spoofer. Some people will swallow any old bulls**t.

    You think likes of Intel are just going to up sticks and move back to the US? They going to just put that huge building they pumped billions into on the back of a low loader?

    Jesus fking Christ. Just up out of bed, tuened on the internet with cup of coffee in my hand and decided to check the results. Was expecting Hillary to have it wrapped up but holy **** it's the only other person running who's actually worse than her.

    I was asked a question the other day on whether I think Americans are stupid or not solely based onn this election and I said "no"

    Beginning to wonder now.

    We're all ****ed!

    for the vast majority of Irish people, this will have next to no effect on their lives.

    What about the Golf Course?

    Like Brexit. The elites will spit feathers.

    There is a slight.... slight chance they will learn from this.

    People were tired of the status-quo.

    Remember, the fringes do better when the center fails..... And it has failed.

    Donny will serve 4 years and may well lose reelection, if he bothers to run.
    But both the GOP and Dems need to take stock and start listening to people instead of sneering with contempt.

    Political revolution can be a good thing & shouldn't necessarily be feared, whether it's britain, Greece, Spain or the US.

    The elites will sneer & mock, but they have been rattled.

    My facebook is in complete meltdown. Now I have followed shag all of this, but why exactly does it matter so much to non-Americans or is it just fashionable or something to watch like a sport? I cannot fathom why all the social media crying is going on for an election in another country.

    Politics is a terrific Spectator/blood sport.
