Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[mateinone]

I think it is highly unlikely there will be any major attempts and certainly very unlikely to be any successful attempts on his life.
A lot of people thought that Obama would rile far too many people and importantly the red-neck gun nuts, that he would be assassinated as well as they would refuse to have a black president.

I think Trump will be an awful president and this was the most unbelievable election in history, defying all logic, but now it has happened it was a perfect storm and was always likely all the way back to when he started his campaign with ridiculous comments about Mexico an rapists and gained attention and votes.

A similar phenomena is sweeping Europe and the Asia Pacific region and until it is absolutely two fingers to the the establishment, two fingers to political correctness and taking a soft stand and in America's case it is just them taking the exact stance someone like Russia would. Russians hate a soft leader, they want someone strong, they want someone that will stand up and not care if he says things that offend people.

I think in many ways that Trump is similar to Reagan (in the way that the American public view him), the world was worried that the US had a president that might just start a nuclear war in Reagan, the Russians believed he might just start one too (though I don't think that Russia believes that of Trump).

Ironically Reagan is also only president since FDR whose party won 3 elections straight.

The other thing this election has one is sent a message that the polls are flawed and that the American and World media won't drive and election result, in fact telling the American's they have to reject Trump may just be a fillip in Trumps armory because I think it is becoming apparent that the average American sees the media as part of the establishment they are rejecting.

It has been a scary world for the last few years and it just got scarier yesterday and the world is holding it's breath to see what it means for the different regions of the world, but all anyone can do is wait and see.

Very interesting times ahead
