Apparently Trump doesn't want to live in the White House full time. He wants to be able to spend as much time in NY and Florida as he can and is looking to be in Washington during the week but head off home on the weekends.

Now that he's been elected, I'd much prefer Trump wasn't impeached. 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.

Yeah I think the specifics of the whole Pence thing were that he didn't support federal funding of healthcare for AIDS patients who engaged in "risky behavior"(gay people) but if they were willing to undertake conversion therapy he supported funding it and assistance for their healtchare after.

Basically he wanted to blackmail gay AIDS patients into undergoing conversion therapy to avail of federal assistance with their healthcare. Pretty despicable really.

Didn't Pence also want to force women who had abortions to hold funeral services for their foetus? And also thinks women who have abortions should be punished by the law?

That is true but I think anyone inclined to do that probably voted for the target anyway

Not sure about that, there's radicalisation occurring across the spectrum now (the Dallas shootings for example). It's a crazy country, anything could happen over there.

So since Wednesday we have seen reference to Trump banning all Muslims from coming to the US removed from his website, and now we hear him say that he likes bits of Obamacare and that he plans to keep some of it.

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 haven't paid much attention to Pence.

But yes Trump's views on climate change are troubling. Again once he is in receipt of all the data that as President his views may change. Of course maybe he doesn't care about climate change and that is a worry.

Are we talking Danny Healy Rae type views?

He's on the record saying that he thinks climate change is a conspiracy invented by the Chinese to move manufacturing jobs to China. Part of his manifesto was to remove any US funding towards climate change initiatives and withdraw from any agreements that have been made with the UN. I also happen to think he's a sleazy racist piece of ****...

His VP has previously supported federal funding for "conversion therapy" for people seeking to change their sexual behavior(cure their gayness...)

He's like Danny Healy Rae if you left him out in the sun for too long

He's Danny Healy Rae if you put him in a nice suit and gave him a haircut and taught him intelligible English.

His VP is even more odious than he is, he's actually practiced what he preaches.

He seems to be just about every conservative Republican stereotype you can think of rolled into one, racist, homophobic, creationist, climate change denier, etc.
