There's no way Hillary can win at this point. I hope that the investigations on him will get him impeached or invalidated.

Now I'm seriously worried about Europe. If Trump made it, then what's gonna stop Salvini or any other nationalist xenophobic politician ?

Let's hope the Europeans have more sense in them than the Americans? What I'm mostly worried about is that he'll let Russia do their thing in Eastern Europe...

I'm scared to be living in a city with one of Trump's buildings today. I've already heard that a lot of people will be protesting.

Hopefully he will, at most, only get one term, assuming that he doesn't get himself killed. Not that I want him to die, per se. I just want him to shut up.

I'm pretty shaken right now. I had a feeling this might happen, but I still can hardly believe it did. And despite the guy who just became president being someone who pretty clearly doesn't respect women, I'm more worried for the others around me than I am for myself. Half my family is Hispanic, will they be okay? What's going to happen to my cousin and his husband? What's going to happen to my Muslim friends? All the international students on campus? Will the economy crash? Republicans won Congress, how much will they let this man get away with? What if hate crimes start springing up?

Be kind to each other, everyone, and try to comfort those who need it. It's the best we can do for each other right now.

A deep fear of change in any form and a desire to "Make America Great Again" has caused my fellow Americans to elect an umpaloompa to be our next president... I guess our best hope is that something happens before inauguration in January.

If anything happens, Pence becomes president...I'm not sure if that's an improvement.

honestly it's worse because rather than not caring about minority groups he just outright attempts to remove them, through killing them off or silencing them.

see, this is why i honestly hate the media. they make something simple turn into a huge racist paranoia.

Your family will be fine. Trump never said he's deporting "all mexicans". He wants to get rid of illegals who jump the border to make drug deals/cartels in the US.

What's going to happen to my Muslim friends?
Nothing much, unless they're refugees. Again, Trump never said he wanted to get rid of "all muslims". He's only focusing on the refugees in which some are "potential terrorists".


huge political explanation and summary w/opinions. don't click if offended easily

People are not scared because they fear Trump will deport their families for being muslim or hispanic... That's silly to even assume. They're scared because hate crimes are already spiking in North America. Targeted at them.

Secondly, Pence is a lot bigger of a problem than Trump, considering he supports the systematic killing of lgbt citizens (see: conversion therapy) and the fact Trump says he does not care about most of the social issues in the US implies that Pence will be the one in charge of that.

So no, it is not "stupid and nonsensical" to fear for gay marriage when the man who is actually going to be doing anything about it wants lgbt citizens dead, and has expressed wanting to remove gay marriage. Honestly I am offended and disgusted you even think it should be a state's decision to decide if people should be allowed to get financial benefits based on their sexuality. Just blowing it off because it doesn't effect you is immature and selfish.

You know, illegal immigration from Mexico wouldn't even be such a big deal if we tried to fix the root of the problem, which just happens to be Mexico being run by a drug cartel... But no, they're making us too much money to do that.

Getting shot by a gun is not painless. Please don't talk about things you don't know about if you aren't going to at least put some research into them. thanks.

Trump himself isn't the problem, he's never been. The problem is his overall party and even more-so his VP.

Trump is really just a conservative Democrat who ran Republican so he could play king knowing that he could take advantage of the power vacuum within the Republican party and his strategy of empowering previously non-voting conservatives. He's a part of the problem yes, but he's simply a self-appointed figurehead of it.

The serious danger comes from the empowerment of these formerly non-voting conservatives, a decent number of whom represent the truest scum of humanity, and from the overall conservative victory. Trump has awoken a sleeping dragon hoping that he could manipulate it just long enough to win, now that he's done that he's either going to be a better human being than he has been and go back on what he said or he's going to turn a blind eye as these hordes of once silent extremist conservatives go on to riot and spread chaos and fear as they please.

The worst possible scenario is Trump spends all day sitting in his comfy chair bashing toy soldiers together while Pence runs the country into the ground.
