A say day for America, a sad day for the world

[Sensual Lauren]

I am devastated and shocked. How could this man win the Presidency. How could the pundits and pollsters have been so wrong. Had to go to sleep after the indications were going his way. America is more divided that most of us knew. I will look inward and stay away from politics,,,,that my fellow citizens have so much hate in their hearts is terribly unsettling. As an historian, ( as most of you didn't know) I believe this is the saddest day in America's history. God only knows what that future holds for all of us. Am holding my nose, my breath and think the best thing to do today is to go to the hot tub and hope the bubbles can blow away some of the sadness. Be well and all we can do now is wait for the aftermath. The only positive is that Melania is a gorgeous 'First Lady'.
pm me with any of your insights. In my neighborhood there was and still is a divide. I hope we can heal, but that is a long road. Missing you all. xx all m y best,,, Sensual Lauren / aka/ LadyFemina

Melania is not American and has no business in the White House.
Hate Wins. I can't live in America. I will sell my property and when I retire and I will stay here.

So it's not all bad news then :-).

This post confirms that I didn't dream it. The saddest thing was seeing some of his supporters interviewed during the night. I think if you stuck pins in them they would feel no pain - they just have no idea what they've done.

Well the people spoke. I think it was more about rage against the system than a huge adoration for Trump. Maybe they (the two parties) will learn and get the message that they need to get on with their job and stop sitting on their hands.

The worry now is about the damage he can do in his 4 years, as I truly cannot see him getting a second term (but then I called this for Hillary and also thought the Brits weren't stupid enough to implement a Brexit vote).

And if he now has Congress and Senate behind him, it could be truly frightening. He will step back from global responsibilities to climate change, and other global initiatives, possibly default on national debt (imagine the global economic crisis that would precipitate)... and what about all the other crazy stuff like jailing Hillary, deporting Hispanics and banning Muslims, plus his support for pro-life candidates for the Supreme Court. And then there's the silly wall.

Obamacare is far from perfect but can you imagine abolishing it? What a nightmare that would be. So, so, so many of his policies are just simply disruptive and damaging. I hope somebody can reign him in.

But, nothing we can do about it now, except hold him to task. Though I am really looking forward to the day he is no longer under audit, and we see how much he lied about his wealth...

this is so true.. I will sit in my recliner chair, with blinds closed, watch a bit about about the outcome and then climb into bed with the blankets pulled over my head. god, maybe Ireland is still in my future. glad I haven't unpacked all yet. xx let's keep being in denial that all will be ok,,,,I dread the morning news,,, makes one want to have George W back, now that is a sorry state of affairs. very sad day.

Its not that bad, give him a chance, I lived in Detroit and nothing was being done, no change, I am glad he won as Clinton would be worse than him

What does that mean "nothing was being done, no change". What would a President change do for Detroit?

you are dopey, not just Detroit, we were promised change by every president and when they were in they done nothing, people got fed up with it all, they knew Clinton would be the same and they knew she is more ruthless and vindictive as Trump

I knew Trump would win

Asking you for specifics is dopey? You made a very vague statement, I just want to hear what you think Trump will or can do to help Detroit?
