Its official Trump wins!
|
Well, let's see how he goes. I don't need to say any more than that because I've already said it, so now we just see what happens. But there will be lots of criticisms of him, no doubt, some warranted, some not, but that's what happens when you are President. If Trump really wanted the job, he may soon find himself regretting that desire, if he didn't...well, he should have known better than to tempt fate. :03:
Good luck with it. |
I hope we are nnot tweeted into a war! Someone needs to pull the tweeting app off his phone.

About time you lot got a thread all in one place. :03:
Well its going to be interesting times ahead here outside America and for you guys there you will be right on the ball. Lets see if Trump tones down the mouth and tweets and gets down to business. |
As I posted before, let's give the man a chance. Not like there is anything else we can do. We will have plenty of time to hate Trump during his term. Let's wait until he actually does something wrong.

There is an outside chance Trump could pull a Schwarzenegger; when Arnie was elected Governor of California, the CA-GOP was salivating at the chance to impose their policies on the state's population; a grand collection of initiatives was placed on the state ballot after Arnie took office with the confidence his imprimatur would sway the voters; the end result was a very, very hard slap-down by the voters and Arnie immediately sang a different tune, much to the dismay of the shattered CA-GOP. Then, again, what did the CA-GOP expect from a guy married into the Kennedy family? Farfetched this could happen with Trump? Well, remember, Trump was a Democrat originally, and he has already backtracked or modified on a few of his more popular campaign pledges (special prosecutor for Hillary, complete repeal of Obamacare, etc.) and, while he claimed he would 'drain the swamp' in DC, he seems to have been hiring on some of the 'gators as members of his team. What was that old saw? "The more things change, the more they remain the same..."...

Nationwide, it was the lowest voter turnout in 20 years. Voter fraud is not a problem in the US. Voter apathy is. But the parties don't seem to be concerned with that. No headlines in addressing voter apathy. |
This does raise an interesting question. Is the president required to have Secret Service protection? I will have to research that. It may not be up to the president. I am pretty sure that the USSS has the authority to "interdict" if there are any private security forces around the president.
