Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[hanwell]

Humanity (read the "experts") is once again guilty of not paying attention to history. The Donald's ascendancy to the big job has a parallel to that of the first Democrat President, Andrew Jackson in 1829, he rode in on a platform of anti elitism, an autocratic system providing jobs for the sons of the revolution, his nick name was "King Mob" and threw the doors of the White House open to the masses for his inauguration ball. He even threatened to take his predecessor Sam Adams to court because of the corrupt deal done with congress to keep him from power, he also employed not one professional politician in his cabinet, but brought in a team of business men... sound familiar?
In the process he destroyed the old "Republic Party" and created the original Democratic Party, how ironic that Donald will effectively do the same to the current Democratic Party, and will no doubt ditch the same old Republican faces and probably create his own party going forward, that's what happened in 1829, and all these years later, with Hillary's Big Tech team oblivious to the feelings of the Red Neck Whitelash, that eventually cost her the job. That and the fact that she is soooo tainted by the Bill factor, and the big Washington connections.
Trump, and his minions are pompous blustering sycophants, but they read the weather better than the entire DC political establishment, and not only have four years of unadulterated power via two subservient houses, but have the legal right to build walls anywhere they please.
At least it will be interesting.....

For the life of me,  I cant believe that yanks speak the same language we do ????

They are that different , it aint funny.

It really is a toss of the coin on the issue of whether they are just a naive bunch........... or just plain stupid!

Less than half the people eligible to vote actually voted, that says everything about apathy and a generation that just cant be fooked. They will be the ones with the biggest voices in the coming tempest, yet they really have no right....One hundred and fifty million didn't vote

Sure, but you've made one big assumption - that democracy will be in play?

Do you seriously think it won't?

With the amount of enemies Trump has/will make he'll be the first President assassinated in the 21st century

If I may, this is a perfect example of democracy, Hillary has conceded, Donald has somewhat humbly accepted the win, people will go to bed and get up in the morning and life will go on. Will lessons be learnt, will we study our history, will he really kick out the muslims, build the wall, send Hillary to sing sing, nuke ISIS???? As I suggested earlier at least it will be interesting...

Don't take it for granted.

I think we might need a cup of tea, a bex and a good lie down.
Trump's election has been a bit of a shock, but in the end...

Trump will be nothing more than a figurehead.
The day to day grind of Presidency won't be for him
He's the showman.
Most of the grunt work will be done by Pence and others...conservatives with some right wing views and they'll introduce plans that many of us don't like....
But there won't be death camps in New Mexico.
The Military will remain independent of party politics and although subject to CIC orders the real decisions will be made with input from the Generals and Admirals.

,,,and in four years time there will be an election and a President will either be re-elected or replaced

Let's keep this simple - Trump likely to be killed of by Christmas.....

Democracy in action?  :o

Seriously though, he will have made a lot of very powerful enemies no doubt.
