I Have a T shirt with emboldened words printed on it, and goes, sh!t happens! No it doesn't R soles cause or create it!

In this case democrats who thought that Hillary would be their "man" and not rock the boat too much?

There's a mood for change sweeping the western world, which could become a revolution if continually suppressed!

However, fortress America is likely to simply make it worse and turn the promised freedom from want into a "walled" gulag (the east German solution) of even more endemic entrenched misery?

One notes that Herr Hitler was a populist, with an ethnic minority to blame and persecute even as the new infrastructure was rolled out! But as it turns out, in preparation for a war?

The only Fascists are the current protesters. Not anti, but never democratic to the core, especially the "Safe Space" (..for Me and not Thee) Petals in California.

Airs and Graces for moral vanity competition becomes threadbare and has been seen through. Trump just highlighted what HAD happened, the Female, Black, LGTBXYZ(?) and etc. credit cards were long maxed out and no longer accepted. Call me anti-whatever from above and I will just laugh at you as a shallow, insecure, vain hater of no substance.

The result is not a spectacular puzzle to those who see the US as profoundly dysfunctional society.

It spends trillions of dollars on bailing out the banks that created the global financial crisis at taxpayers' expense and on wars to enforce its own dysfunctional electoral system on countries that don't want it. It enforces trade agreements that it knows full well will extensively gut whole communities.

At the same time, it 'can't afford' basic medical coverage for its own citizens and forces students to indenture themselves to years of punitive debt to get the minimum education needed to join the workforce.

Whether or not American taxpayers can see through the system that is shafting them big time, they know that thy are sick of it. Even to those who proudly hoist the American flags outside their homes, they know something is badly wrong.

Trump tapped into this disaffection in a way that Clinton did not. I doubt if he could care less, and his term will undoubtedly prove that. But the issues remain. Interesting times.

You nailed it dead centre!

Let us now hope that commonsense prevails and "The Don" makes full use of this opportunity to apply the brakes and prevent the U.S. from burying itself deeper into the pile of hot, steaming excreta, that past Administrations have created in an effort to convince the world of it`s own SUPERIORITY, as they viewed their own blurred reflection in the mirror of monetary madness and continual war-munging.

A return to real Democracy ( and acceptance of honesty ) could benefit the U.S. and it`s people, probably more than any other nation in the world

Hey Killarney,
"I doubt if he could care less, and his term will undoubtedly prove that."

I'd tend to argue against that statement.
I honestly think he's too egotistical to want to double-cross the people and leave office hated by them like past presidents have.
- His ego's a double-edged sword though, people like that are prone to sometimes doing foolish and impulsive things; lets hope he doesn't.

Also because of his constitutionalist campaign message, his supporters are going to hold his feet to the fire and will call him out the moment he steps off the reservation.
