Remember we had someone like that which had no experience in politics and was a little out there, whom went from Union Leader, to became our Prime Minister, remember Bob Hawke?

He didn't go straight from Union Leader to PM.

He had three years experience in politics before he got the top job.

Trump had no experience in politics.

None whatsoever.

It makes me wonder, why did Trump go for the campaign then?
Okay, here is the convo we have in our home, hubby and I have this discussion/debate (because I was sort of hoping Hilary would win)...
I said, Trump hasn't any experience, and hubby says, well if it was good enough for Ronald Reagan, then why not Donald Trump, and in fact, the thing is, says he, that Trump owes nothing to anyone (so he is virtually like an independent).

That, is what will make things interesting, he is not of the established order within politics, and lets hope, he doesn't get shot or anything.

I hope not. Would like to see some changes made that benefit the little people, which is what Trump want's to put into effect.

We really do have to embrace the new changes into the political arena, and in a way, I wish it would happen here too, which is what One Nation was trying to do in Australia. BTW.....Pauline was ever so happy Trump won.

So if anyone is happy for Trump, then don't knock Pauline.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Reagen had heaps of political experience before he became President.

One thing for sure re: Reagan, he was a calm personality, in a way, I don't like Trump, I think he is a big mouth.
When I heard he won, I felt quite devastated, like an ominous feeling took hold. I really do feel something won't sit right, and I sure do hope, the people that voted him in, have a good idea why they did so.
For their sake.

Reagan had plenty of experience too.

He served two terms as Governor of California before becoming President.

As far as I know, Trump is the only POTUS who has no prior political or military experience.

And one has to ask, why would he want to be in the political arena?
What motivated him to do so?
For the people?

That was the general feeling, but now, the tune will change, and what can we do? Just wait and see.
Obviously, the people voted, and he won, so that's the outcome, no matter what the political experience is.

For the people? NO.

Trump does things for Trump - no one else.

He did it to feed his ego.

He didn't really expect to win.

Maybe one reason was to stop WW3. Do you think that was a valid reason?
Don't believe what you read in your press. Most people here are very glad the elections are over and there is a new sense of optimism.
Trump represents working America.

Yes, and so Trump has other experience in a different way, that perhaps reflects to the American people that voted him in.
Wish Arnie had run for it, he has "experience" and a personality with pizazz....with only these 2 as a choice, me thinks he would have won

Arnie wasnt born in america and that disqualifies him in the xenophobic american constitution.

The idea that Trumps experience s a businessman qualifies him as PResident is ridiculous. As if they are in any way the same. Any with 4 bankruptcies, countless failures and 4000 lawsuits and current criminal investigations, even the claim to be a businessman shoudl be disputed.

Trump said everything people of low IQ wanted to hear. That is all. And now he will do what he wants - which will be very, very different. And probably dreadful.

Well there must be a lot of poor people in America with low IQ then who is to blame for that?
The government perhaps?
And you think the American Government to date hasn't been guilty of any wrong doings in past?
Who put the country into the huge deficit that it has?
Answer: The government.
Who likes to go to war for profit?
At least, with what Richdude said, the war with Russia won't happen now.
So that can be taken that a positive has already happened with Trump's win.
Even tonight, on the news, I hear, Hilary says that we must all keep an open mind.
