Methinks that the people have finally had enough of politicians pursuing their own agendas Well it's a good result then. I'm sure The Donald would never do that.

A view from a close friend in California who is a naturalised US Citizen. Prior to going to the US 30 years ago he was an NHS and RAF doctor
It's a protest vote against gridlock in Washington, political elitism, political correctness and business as usual. Hilary represents all of the above. If the Dems had nominated Bernie Sanders the same phenomenon might have worked for them, but unfortunately a lot of Americans don't understand the difference between democratic socialism and communism.
Cheers and fasten your seat belt!
It would have been even funnier if they had nominated Colonel Sanders aka KFC.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I wonder if it felt like this in the 1930's? Probably....
Perhaps next time around America will vote in Kim Kardashian?

Very similar atmosphere in those days I guess too.
I think they would vote for a Muppet quite frankly - whoops they just have.
KK could be a good bet other than the rear end.

I understand why so many are referring to us Americans as stupid. I myself woke up very disappointed with my country. But Hillary did win the popular vote, which means OVER half of Americans are disappointed with the outcome of this election. There have already been numerous protests and more are expected. Please do not think that all Americans made this choice. Everyone I have encountered today has been shaking their head, many used the term "in shock." My country is severely polarized and I while I was devastated at Trump's win (I can hardly type that without tears) I can only hope that this experience in some way humbles him (if such a thing is possible) when he realizes just what he is in for. It appears as though perhaps he did not expect this - I can't help but wonder if the thought "Oh s*#t - now I have to actually do this" did not run through his mind. Many Americans are filled with disappointment, dread and anger at this outcome. Only time will tell how justified those fears might be. We can only hope for the best, and try to hang on for dear life to some of the services and rights that Trump has promised to abolish (to the delight of some Americans whose mindset I just can't comprehend.) One thing is for sure, the USA is even more sexist than it is racist. I bet Bernie Sanders would have won had he been the Democratic candidate, as many wanted.

That is really interesting to hear your feelings on recent events, we all felt similarly shocked at the outcome of the Brexit vote and pretty silly really. Mostly because it is seen as a retrograde step reverting back to the island thinking, however everyone I firmly believe will pull together and make it work somehow.
I am really surprised that your country is more sexist than racist as you have led us in these areas is my perception.
Good luck, it will all work out I'm sure, after all he will be as good as his advisers and hopefully he has a good team put together. You don't become a billionaire without teamwork.

Let us see if Trump is overwhelmed about his election. I'm not a Trump fan at all. But we should give him the "100 days" to proof if he is appropriate to be a president at all. In Germany we have the say barking dogs never bite. And Hillary really was not everyones cup of tea. First of his task must be to rearrange with his party. Then we will see if he is resistant to advice or not. And if so, he is a kind of a "lesson" to turn she ship 4 years on from now.

I'm afraid the example he has set by his rhetoric and venom against not just single people, but those who are simply different to white Americans, will serve to justify those within the communities who will simply have their prejudiced views reinforced. After all, if it's good enough enough for Trump..
If I were a minority in the USA, I'd be very worried.
