El Presidente Trump

Kermit.de.frog

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

Quite clear you didn't understand the question.

As expected.

Why does it matter? Why do the markets matter?

Investors lend their money to businesses so that the businesses can afford to hire people and buy machinery and send their goods around the world.

Some of those investors are pension funds, and governments, which calculate that the businesses they invest in will do well, and so they will get their money back, plus interest as a repayment on their loan.

When the markets 'crash', this means that all these loans lose value. So your grandmother's pension now won't pay her, and she won't have money to buy food, or to buy you a nice present of a phone - which won't be made either, because the company won't have the money to pay its workers and buy its parts. And over in China, those workers will lose their jobs. The money they were paid will disappear from the Chinese economy, so other people will lose their jobs too.

Your government will lose the money it lent to companies and to other governments. So there will be no money to pay back people who have paid insurance against unemployment or towards their pensions; there will be no money to help small businesses to start up or to keep going in hard times.

The markets aren't a global illuminati; they're how money is lent and borrowed around the world. It's not a good thing for anyone if they crash.

This could be as bad as the 1930s Depression.

Top story is about the reaction of "the markets"

That's exactly why he will be elected

People are sick of it

If they can recoup their investment by relocating to a cheaper environment, they'll be gone pretty much overnight.

It's what Dell did.

They and the likes of Apple are going to repatriate their massive retained profits pretty much immediately. Then they will either pay them out in dividends or else invest by building facilities in the US.

People on FB just like to join in on collective outrage.....its the social media thing to do.

Most have no idea what they are usually getting outraged about.

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.

The elites will be fine. They can move wherever they want, any visa or costs taken care of, they will have republicans backing them which will do what is best for making a profit.

Its fashionable, simple as that.

This Brexit comparison makes little sense. If the vote was anti establishment you wouldn't really expect a majority for both house and Senate to be Republican. That's like saying you're going to give two fingers to system but instead you unhook the tethers keeping and the let the beast you resent roam free with full autonomy.

It's people lashing out like children that's the proper Brexit comparison.

Any people from Spain I know have had to move to Ireland for jobs in their absolute thousands.

So praytell how this is a good thing for Irish employment specifically.

Because it looks like ramblings like that lad on the journal wally.

A politician who says what they think themselves, without checking with their advisors (aka vested interests) is a breath of fresh air.

As long as it's coherent,not racist,sexist or bat**** crazy.

If you can't imagine then there's probably not much point explaining.

Elites? You think Donald Trump, a man who has preserved some of the billions he inherited, is your protection against 'elites'?

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!

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.

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.

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.
