Oh yeah, absolutely hilarious Reefy ... you're as ignorant as the angry mobs in the Rust Belt states who think Trump is going to get their manufacturing jobs back. You are completely deluded if you think Trump's victory is a good thing for Australia.

This pretty much sums it up :
The final and overarching fear, though, is for the world. Mr Trump’s win means uncertainty about America’s future strategy in a world that has long relied on the United States for stability. But Mr Trump’s capacity to destabilise is almost limitless. His military, diplomatic, security, environmental and trade policies all have the capacity to change the world for the worse. Americans have done a very dangerous thing this week. Because of what they have done we all face dark, uncertain and fearful times.

You're missing the point - it's bleedingly obvious Trump's election is bad for America, it's just going to accelerate their decline. eg Trade war with China will hurt everyone - US most of all, China & the region (including us).

But go ahead & celebrate !

The past 2 days have been fascinating from a sociological perspective.

The east and west coast entertainment, media and business communities all thought they had it in the bag. The middle American average Joes got pissed off with being told what to think and say and seeing the (in their eyes) corrupt machine roll over them so did a mass protest vote.

The lack of critical introspection from the Democrat side is amazing. No recognition of the issues just name calling and blaming Trump voters for exercising their democratic right to vote. Calling masses of people deplorables, racists, misogynists and xenophones doesn't do much to convince them of the quality of your worldview.

Todays protesters who are burning flags and effigies of Trump should have hard look at themselves. Imagine if effigies of Obama were burnt on the streets in Kansas City. The outrage would be apoplectic.

That must be gospel because there's a link to the guardian.

In the last 12 years lve worked in the same place l have not had nor heard one conversation about US politics.
Now theyre all talking about how bad its going to be.

So l have a bunch of people fear mongering and sprouting the ends nigh due to the fact The frigging Project said so.
Social media meh.

We dont source information to inform us.
We now source it to confirm what WE BELIEVE.

Michael Moore tipped Trumps win months ago. He named the states he would win and who would vote for him. He was spot on.

The media and social frenzy who were loud and angry presented the appearance that a certain way was the only way. The boffins at work hear it and thats all they hear.

The silent voters were in a greater number. They voted for a black president so they are prepared to give someone a go.
They werent fooled by a power thirsty war crazed woman scorned.

Personally l dont give a rats as l know f**k all about US politics but l would wait to see how it panned out before shouting the world is over.

The guy must have some pretty good advisors. He knows his way around success.

Well put Snout. I doubted his ability to pull it off after the pussygrabgate, but geez, it worked exactly how he said it would on a 1/3 of Clintons budget. MEdia companies who spent hundreds of millions on polls & reporting were diametrically wrong. Everybody except him got it wrong. the bookies got it wrong. He is a marketing genius.
He has tapped into the anti left sentiment of Brexit & now the number one world power is controlled by him. The reps, the senate & the govenorship. Wow. What a
if htat is not world wide warning to leftism, to stop the brow beating, the social media abusive & belittlement campaigns. To focus on real issues like business & quality of the life for people in THAT country.
While they continue to focus on Refugees, gay rights, Transgender rights, supposed man made climate change, open borders etc instead of improving the quality of life of the nation, they will continue to be decimated.

In Australia we want to play with the big boys in covering world politics.
Unfortunately we are ot even on the same planet. we have no idea.

Embarrassing.

I generally get home about the time The Project comes on.
Its compered by a muslim and for the past 10 months theyve been Trump bashing.
The others on the panel all fall into line and bow to him as he is a minority group and they dont want to offend.
PC and all.

Theyve written off Trump and presented him as a joke with no hope. Hes a middle aged white guy so you can call him anything you like with no risk of persecution.
Theyre the experts.........until last night when they got it wrong in a 2 horse race.

Another middle aged white guy is on the panel. Steve Price. Once again..open season. He said Trump would win. He gave a fairly knowedgable assessment of why.
They ripped in and belittled and let him know how stupid he was going to look.
They knew!
They have a muslim as their leader and Trump said they blow people up..so the bad man cant win.

Ha. Australian media. I watched some of the coverage yesterday as the final result was being braodcast. On SBS l was quite captivated by a BALANCED assessment of how it all played out.
Politics bores me but this analysis regarding who voted how and why was interesting.

I flicked to 9 where they had karl stefanovic and laurie oakes doing what could only be described as satire. The most immature opinions and lack of insight from the 'best we have' one could ever imagine.

A monotonous rundown that consisted of "How did he win???"...followed by continual footage of Hilarys crowd waiting for her to turn up to talk.

Australias media coverage of this event is embarrassing, childish, boring and monotonous.

there's been a lot of criticism of the so called laft but spending big on infrastructure and tearing up the Trans Pacific Partnership and reimposing import tariffs sounds fairly old school left to me, in capitalist terms anyway.

The problem of the left is they populate in social media bubbles where its an endless echo of the same thoughts. This leads them to thinking they are the mass majority and that Trump had no chance.

The Guardian has an article criticising Trump,next we'll have a Fox News one criticising the Clintons.
It's like the Herald here looking at all the Trump negatives and the Telecrap and Australian looking at the positives.

Trump has to get his agendas through the Congress and Senate,and despite the Republicans controlling both houses ,there is no iron clad guarantee.

I don't care if Kim Jong Un got voted in, the President has advisers who steer him based on needs, community feelings,economics,security.He might be a dictator on the hustings,different kettle of fish in the White House.

Remember Reagan was laughed at ,as a B grade actor, who turned out to be one of their best.
The harsh realities of being a President and the restrictions will become evident to him.

People can protest ,that's a democracy.But burning flags and burning cars is not protest.Funny when Obama got in, where were the protests from the opposition.

Obama ignored the rural areas and the rust belt.The numbers on welfare there are huge.
The vote was based on economic need not racism.
If Trump can get decent numbers of infrastructure going ,that will have a flow on effect ,from labour through to manufacturing.Has to be a better opportunity to the current Obama please certain areas and not others technique.There are bridges for example all over the place in need off replacement.Better to get people working than have them on welfare.

The Democrats were too involved with people in the entertainment industry, and relying on them to get people to go to speeches, shows desperation.Too many ties with the likes of Souros et al.
Trump is bombastic, a misogynist,anti immigration,Hillary left the White House with zero, now the Clintons are worth $150m.Their foundation was even used to fund their daughter's college fees.That foundation is under FBI investigation.I'm not a Trump fan, but if a candidate wins based on the country's system, you live with it.

Funny how the sky fell in and the share market took a giant tumble,now it's shot back up to near record levels.And some Oz businesses see opportunities.

The dark uncertain times happened in 2008 with the GFC,9/11,ISIS.Life goes on .

Now to put Crooked Hillary in the jailhouse where she belongs....MWAHAHAHAHA!

On a more serious note, we should all pray for the health and safety of Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner, and Robbie Mook now. We don't want more unfortunate souls added to the Clinton body count.
