Whatever happens, it's going to be a roller coaster. Hold on................

It's going to be interesting.
I have to say that I'm rather repelled by the protestors and a list rent-a-gobs whining and doom saying about it.
Here was a vote. He won. He has to be given the chance to get on with it. If folk don't like what he does, then campaign and protest but don't argue the result. Democracy is too important to be undermined in this way.
They'll end up looking bloody stupid if things go well for him anyway and he'll get two terms!
People have a right to protest, to whine and to predict disaster - even in a democracy. If things go badly for him, it'll be the alt-right and their conservative friends who will be looking ridiculous for having backed such a cretin in the first place.
Here's a guy who won the electoral college, but lost the popular vote by near enough 3mil. Someone who has a range of fraud and sexual assault allegations lining up behind him, who clearly has a very loose understanding of the world he's about to enter and who has surrounded himself with a range of right-wing cranks as advisers. This is not going to end well and as worrying as it is to see him ascend to power, it will be joyous to watch him fall.
I'd have no problem if he was your standard, right wing republican type who maybe has a vague grasp on some of the big issues around the world or knows when to hold his or her tongue as befits the status of the office. However, that's not what we have - he's got a paper-thin skin, he's impulsive and a compulsive liar.
He will be given time - there's no other option - but my money is on him not seeing out his full term.
Advice to President Trump, avoid grassy knolls and book repositories, particularly in Dallas.
Thats pretty much what I would tell him too.Quote:

Hopefully everything will pass in a tediously boring ennui and protesters will have pished off home before the Laker game starts.

I'm not going to watch something I wasn't going to watch anyway. That'll show him. :greengrinQuote:

The only thing I will say about Trumpton is that he's the proverbial fox in the chicken roost.
The smug little power cliques in Washington (& likewise Westminster) are finally being shown up for what they are. Make no mistake, Donnie Boy is in there as a protest vote. Sit back and watch the feathers fly.
I know but I could rest easy knowing I had done my bit!Quote:

If you alienate the NSA, CIA et al and key players in your own party, then there are some unpleasant chickens that might get together before coming home to roost. Grassy knolls etc. indeed.
His speech delivered exactly what the people that voted for him wanted, they will be delighted.Quote:

Also is it just me or is Melania Trumps body language really strange. She's like a mannequin. You see the Obamas and they look genuinely close and intimate with each other. Mrs Trump looks like she's paid to be there.
Trump better protect his rug as the helicopter takes off.
The only way to deal with this reality is to pretend it isn't happening.

He's like an inarticulate Gordon GekkoQuote:

Talk about tempting fate.
And aside from all else he's an absolutely terrible orator.
Trump sees Europe as economical competition, if he and Putin can destabilise Europe economically then it's win win for them.Quote:

"The carnage stops now!"
It's about time someone took a tough stance on gun ownership.
Or indeed encouraged his haters to buy more ;-)Quote:

Right now the world looks very similar to the 1930s, the positive is that at the moment we don't have a major aggressor to bring the two sides to conflict.
Well, despite everything, I'm sure we all hope he does a good job.
