If you have a memory extending past 2008 you might have noticed that everything about Trump and this election is unprecedented. Normally, a inveterate liar would not be elected. Trump did. Normally, a candidate who admits to sexual assault, not paying staff and having nos knowleget or interest in foreign relations would not be elected. Trump did. Normally, a person with zero experience in public office and a record of multiple bankruptcies, scandals and illegal activities could not be elected. But Trump was.

THIS is why there is such outrage and concern. It is as if there was some mass insanity that occured to get him the votes while the rest of the world and much of America says... WTF!

No one is saying that Clinton was cheated, although North Carolina did exactly that. What people are complaining about is that Trump continues to demonstrate just how unsuitable by virtue of skill, experience and temperament for the job.

Do yourself a favour and at leat understand why much of the world is very concerned about Trump - a man whose opinion on almost every topic depends on who he spoke to last.

A lot of people have been saying that Sanders was cheated.

He would have defeated Trump quite handily.

What we had was an election campaign that resembled a contest of rock-paper-scissors. Trump beat Clinton in the election, who beat Sanders in the primaries, who would have beaten Trump in a fair contest if given the chance...?

I think that is highly presumptuous and probably not even remotely true. Do you think there is even a single Trump voter that would have voted for Sanders? And without less Trump voters, Trump will still win.

The sanders claims are unfounded. Primaries are rugged affairs and complaints about unfair behaviour comes from both sides all the time. Sanders lost, that is all. He would have lost even worse than Hillary.

No the Trump camp would have just made up different lies, they still would have sold as well.

the first 100 days of any new government or administration is usually the most critical. Opposition is usually fairly muted to enable the govt to find its feet although the Republicans have never quite understood that. It also gives observers an insight into what the new leader is likely to be like.

So what do you think will happen in Trumps first 100 days? Here are my estimates.

~He will throw a daily tantrum because his extensive powers still dont enable him to rule by decree, something he would already know if he had ever run anything other than his own personal fiefdom.

~The economy will start to retract as his constant threats and demands spook industry from both moving offshore and moving onshore.

~Obamacare will be dumped and nothing put in its place.

~Russia will move on Ukraine either invading or posturing and Trump will do nothing... or worse.

~Twitter will close Trumps account

~Freedom of speech will be narrowed, if not by legislation then by threat and intimidation.

~General bizzare and contradictory behaviour.

~There will be one assassination attempt

Your thoughts are invited...

All of that plus enough arragance to ensure any possibility of a harmonous relationship with China is out of the question for at least the duration of a Trump presidency.
We may well be lucky not to be in WW3 as a result of his little dick syndrome.
This bloke will make George Dubbya look immensely competent.

The American people and the free world were cheated by giving them such poor choices as Clinton and Trump.
Both the major parties owe the world a huge favour after all of this.

That is a fantasy.

Yes, Clinton cheated Sander but she would have had the Democratic nomination even without cheating. Sh lost because - among other things - she is the kind of person who would cheat even when in a winning position.

Warhawk like Clinton

Had Trump been the one with a stronger position on intervention the very same people claiming this would have been saying that they want a strong President that will stand up for America.

trump didnt win because he lied, cheated and abused. He WON because of that and this is an even sadder outcome.
