Unsurprisingly what someone says to get elected doesn't always marry up with what they do when they get into office (I'm not expecting to see this wall built anytime soon either). I wonder if Trump's bark will be worse than his bite. I still worry about his attitude towards China over trade and his apparent willingness to withdraw military for NATO in the event of a Russian attack which could leave the Baltics and Western Ukraine feeling very vulnerable. At the same time working with Russia in Syria seems perfectly sensible so it's a bit of a catch 22. Anyway all the above doesn't excuse his campaign and to be honest I don't know how anyone could vote for him. But then I wouldn't have sure about voting for Clinton either and there lies the reason why Trump will soon be President. His views on climate change are what really bother me about him, can't say I'm a big fan of his VP's opinions on the LGBT community either.

I'd wager a lot of what came out of his mouth during the election was either to appeal to the masses or he doesn't care either way. Pence is the one everyone should be scared of. He has a document record of being a horrible human being and politician. The fact "Conversion Theropy" exists and what it involves is horrible enough but that someone is a position of real power is in favour of it is just downright grim.
