It's not official yet, but it looks like the fat lady is about to sing.

 

At midnight in Texas, Trump basically needs one more swing state amd he's leading in all of them.

 

I didn't see this coming.

He's won then.  Is he perhaps what America and the world needs rather than what they want?

He obviously has something the US feels they need right now.
Maybe if you can get past the egomaniac persona he presents to the world, he will use his 2nd chance at president to do some good globally, as well as in America.

After the idiot Starmer tried to interfere in getting Trump voted out, he now sends his full support....hypocritical fool.

 Starmers toast. As if Trump will have a bar of this 2faced lying tyrant, who sent 10 minions to help Kamala!   We must get rid of him!

I feel Trump will be good for America, and the world.

 Hard to say. The economy and inflation have really hurt the current administration. The crazy back door way that Kamala got nominated didn't help.

 

She's not very bright and doesn't instill confidence. When she ran in the Dem primary in 2020, she came in about 10th and dropped out early. She was only chosen to balance Biden’s ticket   

 

 

Trump had so many flaws that I think a good candidate would have beaten him easily. 

 

Also, the Dem party needs to stop with far left weird shit..

 

Trump has made huge gains with working class Blacks amd Latinos. 

 

I don't know if they are attracted to him, or just repulsed by the woke nonsense on the left..

@MD…”I‘ll be damned”…um yeah, you sure might be!

Do you agree that the real election winners are Musk, Thiel & all the dark money tech bros who bought themselves a presidency?  With all the lawsuits and investigations against Musk and his companies, he took a punt and all of that just magically melts away. Money well spent, right?

I’m generally done with predicting ANY outcome amid the batshit quagmire of American politics. But I’ll give it one last shot today - Shitler won’t serve a full term. (imo) It won’t be too long before his diapered arse gets 25A-ed and Musk’s boy JD will get an upgrade.

Nutmeg and her handbag said they would leave America if the Don wins. Well he has and is president. Don't slam the door on your way out.

Trump doesn't seem to understand economics.
MAGA!
He wants companies like Apple and others to produce their products in America.
Take one global product the iphone.
If it was produced in America a thousand pound phone would cost five hundred quid more because of higher wages and other high costs.
It's a global product and theirs no secret technology involved.
The thousand quid phone would still get produced in China Malaysia Japan etc and America would have little chance of selling theirs.
There's a thousand other products America can't produce cheaper than the east.

 That thousand pound phone probably costs  next to nothing to make.   Apple and companies like it are robbers.  All their products are vastly inflated and not that good.  So, why not make the fuckers give the jobs to Americans and take a slash in their exploitative profits.

 What makes a good leader?  The thing about the Trump is he can't be bought, he's filthy rich already, he doesn't give a shit what people say about him and he's not a crowd pleaser and appeaser.   His haters seem to conveniently ignore the massive list of things he achieved for the American people during his time in office.  No person is ever perfect.   And they all make mistakes.  I think the world now needs leaders who have a spine, won't be bullied into running with the herd, have the conviction to put their country first above and beyond personal desires, and gets the job done. 

I don't think the laughing hyena would have, or could have, done that.  And Biden is teetering on the edge of dementia.

 Yeah, I'm not a fan of tariffs either..

 

That said, he wants to replace some of our income tax with tariffs. I'm skeptical, but curious to see if he can do it and how it works..

 It can't work and I fear an assassination.

Saying that shares went up in Europe immediately his victory was announced and I don't understand that beyond very short termism.

There were protests outside the American Embassy in London about the result.

Bloody hell, should America just be like North Korea and only have one candidate.

Donald won fair and square, I just hope he gets first class security detail.

I fear for his safety.

 The iphone 15 pro, to take an example, costs $558 to make which you might think is next to nothing but in reality it's a fairly hefty sum. The phone sells for around 1000 dollars which is around 100% markup and that's not really over inflated as it's quite normal to sell a product for twice what it costs to make it.

Not sure what you mean about the product not being that good - I think what these phones can do is pretty amazing; my own experience with iphones is that they're reliable, although maybe I've been lucky and your own experience has been different.

 I suppose the best thing will be to judge him by his actions rather than his words. Which is a good thing as almost everything he says seems to be a lie.
