    That stages of grief is very real.

    Woke at 5 for a leek and to check to see the tally. Pure denial to see Trump ahead, won Florida.
    Anger came next. How could people fall for the snake oil salesman?
    Bargaining. Clinton could still win, there's still a chance! Depression. It looks unlikely. He's too far ahead now.
    Acceptance. That's democracy. We have to accept the result. He might not be so bad, like a Reagan minus the charm.

    I should hope so. A country where a douchebag billionaire posits himself as the voice of the 99% and wins the highest office in the land with hateful and racist rhetoric must be an incredibly confused one. It's breathtaking. The US must be a very angry country.

    They should now hold him to account for whatever reason they voted him in for. The screw you to Washington politics will last for a week, then people will realise that nothing will change, the same problems that existed before will remain and that an egocentric, infallible, narcissistic bluffer merely got the ultimate trophy status job of getting called 'Mr President'.

    Also, he's not our president.

    Some here do hail America as our Imperial Overlords.

    You gotta laugh. People complain that the segment who voted Trump were spoken down on, and at the same time you get comments like this ,

    I don't think you understand what was posted.:rolleyes:

    Congrats to the Donald, now will all the celebs who said they were going to leave keep good on their promise.

    Madonna's bailed on her promise of blowjobs for Hillary voters. Lucky them tbh.

    Women don't deserve to be put to death for having the cheek to get gang raped, nor do gays deserve to be publicly executed for their orientation, but Trump's opponent had no problems with receiving money from countries where that routinely happens, so I can only imagine how furious you are about that....

    I'm furious at living in a world where abuse of women is tolerated in every country, including our own!

    Let's uprise!

    Don't delude yourself. Perhaps if you lived in a (mainly) conservative country and a truly red state (as I do) then you'd understand. Clinton is no saint but she's ten times the candidate Trump is/was. Most conservative voters would rather poke out their eyes then vote an older woman into office.

    It is a wonder conservative states vote in women like Nikki Haley or Mary Fallin.

    very unlikely TTIP would have ever had succeeded in the EU, too many farmer groups across the EU against it

    Delaying an armed conflict with the Russians indefinitely in favour of cooperation sounds nice off the tongue, too :D

    I think we should be worrying about our own country and our own politicians , not be getting caught up in other sovereign country's democratic decisions.

    Oil is expected to fall. Oh, and that forest in Athenry may stay a forest if Trump lowers his Corp tax.

    Absolute nonsense. The profits made by MNCs here are already repatriated out of the country. They sit in bank accounts in the Cayman Isles. This "reparation tax" stuff and lower corporation rate will have no affect on Ireland's ability to attract FDI as Trump being anti-TTIP (which would make it easier for companies in the US to export to Europe, instead of needing headquarters in Europe - which is where our attraction lies).

    Who cares if the lads in the Bahamas can't coast off being tax havens? It won't stop those companies investing here to keep making profits in Europe.

    Rudy Giuliani cared that she had a vagina and gave that as an actual reason why people should trust Trump. It was never the key reason she failed, but you can't say it wasn't an issue at all.

    The main problem was the democrats put forward the only human on earth that could possibly lose to Trump. They've no one to blame but themselves.

    Rudy Giuliani had many personal issues with vaginas, after all those marriages...

    I agree with this , TTIP was more in the US interests and was very unlikely to accepted in the EU , given the reaction amongst EU farmers

    How do you know? You don't.

    Obama is black and he won - twice

    It's what I believe, and I believe it had a bigger impact on her failure to win the presidency than anything else. Obama- he was a great orator, a big talker, he could sell you the vision, but he just couldn't deliver it, again, that's just MY belief.

    Governor is the highest office in a state. Why vote women into that office if you have a problem with women?
