One big takeaway, stop listening to the big corporate media. They've had everything wrong this entire election, and now they'll tell how terrible everything will be.

His first speech said it all - he was so establishment all of a sudden. Hence why markets haven't crashed.
Complimenting Hillary not threatening to imprison her.
No mention of his insane campaign promises.
I have a feeling Trump Lite will be the order of the day now.
I.E. more of the same.- Unfortunately you're probably right********
- Won't his supporters be expecting Trump classic though, with bonus wall and less brown people?monospaced
- yep for sure which amazes me that he didn't talk tough in his 1st speech. Complimenting Hillary has probably lost him half his support.fadein11
- its good manner. Also the political system have structures, he wont be able to do super stupid stuff, the system in place would stop him. I guess.Bennn
- Meh, enforcing the laws of this country concerning illegal immigration is nothing new********
- Precisely - Trump had good manners - very out of character. But yep I know what you mean - he would have looked a dick ranting then. And the Hillary stuff didfadein11
- sound quite sarcastic.fadein11
- @terry - congrats on your guy winning. Looking at it now it's not really that surprising. Hillary was never a good candidate in all respects.fadein11
- Thanks, yea, not really my guy but it had to happen. Between the supreme Court pick and the failed foreign policy something had to change********
- Unfortunately you're probably right

The racism and the fear of terrorism have won.

Still shocked Orange Man won.
I don't think Hillary gave a concession speech last night because I honestly think she did not believe she would lose.
Miss you, Bernie!
- Meant to add I don't think she had one written in the chance she lost.rylamar
- in her overconfidence, she under estimated her opponent. Trump earned his keep, Hillary thought she could sit it out and come out towards the end.********
- Hillary also ran a campaign with lots of feeling. She dragged an army of hating women with their feelings out, onto the battlefield, and they got hurt.********
- omg is right. under estimated. but trump didnt really work that hard. he just happens to be there.2002
- Bennn2
The funny part is that Trump won't fix anything, he won't make your life easier and everyone will be pissed off in a few years and turn back to Democrats and the infinite loop will continue.
The System is a huge machine that takes decades to move and we're ALWAYS unhappy of it.

Mexico Braces for the Fallout of a Trump Presidency http://nyti.ms/2ekebQo
Ironically Trump's election may cause an economic crisis in Mexico, leading to a massive wave of immigration to the States.

Can I get a liberal news channel like Fox News so I can be comforted?
- Young turks? Any MSM channel in the west is centre or right.inteliboy
- The liberal MSM news failed to inform the Dums that Bernie was a way better choice.robotron3k
- Not liberal enough. I want something like FOX.2002

FOR FUCKS SAKE. Could these old fuck off pillaging greedy baby boomer cunts stop fucking our planet. PLEASE. How much damage can an entire generation do to what should be a progressive time of humanity? It's mind boggling. Absolute fail on their acid-trip flower power bullshit.
- see the movie The Edukators to understandBennn
- They took too much acid those assholesyuekit
- seriously, you want the millennials running things?Gnash
- Millenials WILL run thing one dayBennn
- True, benn, but they'll have grown upGnash
- who gives a fuck about the millenials? so much entitlement - it's about everyone in the country, not just some spoilt brats who think they know best.hans_glib
- ^ This. As if millennial deserve the future just by the mere fact that older generations die.cannonball1978

Trump is not the president, he doesnt want to do the work.
Sadly, the country will be run by rudolph giuliani, newt gingrich, etc
- He licensed his name to the position, like he does with his businesses. I said it before, get ready for the biggest puppet leader of all time.monospaced
- The people making decisions now are even more conservative than when Bush was around, and that is the fear.monospaced
- Trump wouldn't let his campaign advisors run -or even ADVISE- his campaign. What makes you think he'll change?sarahfailin
- @sarah, I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but if you're serious, then you must be crazy if you think that man wrote all his policies himselfmonospaced
- mark my words, Trump is a Pence puppet, playing to the ultra conservative base, and that is a factmonospaced
- all you have to do is look at his connections with Giuliani and Gingrich for evidence .. or just read his website and see for yourselfmonospaced

so is Trump TV going to be an anti-establishment or state-controlled media outlet?
- ********0
He's proven he can literally beat the odds. Question is whether or not he can do it again, on a regular basis. I hope so.
- Looking forward to his wall2002
- the wall will quickly become a metaphor.fadein11
- would that be a bad thing, because i know many oppose the wall, so coming to new terms on it would sounds like a good thing.********
- who are the "odds"? the disabled?Fax_Benson
- mocking them is one thing - but beating them?Fax_Benson
- haha faxdetritus
- the anti-trump campaign is over.********
- you can live in the past or the future. take your pick********
- however if you need a few more minutes to sulk, i'll let you be.********
- lol anti-Trump is just beginning, he owns everything that happens once he gets elected.yuekit
- what the fuck are you on about? are you in the future?Fax_Benson
- He is also coming into office with record unpopularity for a just-elected president, don't forget that part.yuekit
- Anti trump isn't over. Just started. He has a lot more people to piss off and let down.monospaced
- you're right.********
- Even you will be let down when he doesn't do what he said he would.monospaced

Friend who is Trump supporter on Trump winning:
"This is pretty scary. I didnt think he would actually win. I thought he would disrupt the system but not be in charge of it."
- Exactly the same as Brexityuekit
- Brexit is cancelled isn't it? "Here take some more economic migrants UK!"robotron3k

Trump supporters keep saying things like he will reform Washington, we just overturned the system, it's all gonna change now. They put so much faith in one person, ignoring the fact that we have an entire political system that makes policy and passes legislation.
And the Republican Congress that has just been empowered has basically the exact same policies they did back in the Bush era, with an entire agenda ready to go. Tax cuts, entitlement reform, all that stuff.
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are the people you just handed the keys of the country to, not just Trump. The most consequential thing to come out this vote for instance could easily be the privatization of Social Security and Medicare.
Now maybe Trump will veto all of that, but I wouldn't bet on it based on his seeming lack of interest in policy.
- I'm interested in how he will actually follow through with any of his shit promises: ending violence in black communities, build wall, etcmonospaced
- Paul Ryan is our only hope2002
- Have you looked at Paul Ryan's economic policies? They are actually pretty radical, but not at all what Trump people voted for.yuekit
- That is the agenda that is ready to go, now that the GOP has complete control of government. Yet was hardly discussed in the campaign.yuekit
- Trump may turn out to be one of the best Presidents ever.robotron3k
- Paul Ryan is gone.robotron3k
- Will be a goner soon. he's disloyal.robotron3k
- I'd be happy if he was, but I doubt it. And he did endorse Trump in the end.yuekit
- Maybe you can tell us how Trump's policies will be different from establishment GOP, aside from just being the best and awesome.yuekit
- What are the things you expect Trump to do in office, that actually have a realistic chance of happening (i.e. also supported by Congress)yuekit
- First and most important, no war with Russia. Then better international relations, already in motion. A huge first start.robotron3k
- There was not actually going to be a war. I agree less conflict with Russia could be good, but aside from that?yuekit
- Most of the world is reacting with a mixture of disbelief and fear right now.yuekit
- Anyway I was talking more about domestic policies.yuekit
- hope and changeIRNlun6
- What war with Russia is he going to end? Seriously? Jesus.monospaced

You guys shouldn't have said that he has a small penis and tiny hands.
Now he's the president and the whole world knows about it.Putin is like

Trump won't be anything except another big government republican.
- but thank fuck no more reptilians.fadein11
- Your thinking with your emotions again and forget the "facts" that Hillary was a corrupt candidate.robotron3k
- They are all "corrupt", if you consider her corrupt. Trump is the worst, his only ambition is personal gain.formed
- Any politician that had their entire life hacked would have skeletons in the closet. Nothing criminal, no charges, just dusty skeletons.formed
- robo this isn't about emotion nor her corruption, it's just how I see his playing out, especially as he starts picking people around him.monospaced
- His policies are all about big government despite his claims. It's not gonna be what a lot of people expected. He wants to remove min wage for example.monospaced
