Guest essay by Eric Worrall
The victory of President Trump is a gift not just for America but for the world.
As WUWT recently reported, the last few days has seen a growing panic amongst the inner core of the Climate movement, currently partying at taxpayer’s expense in Marrakesh, about what they hoped was the unlikely possibility of a Trump Victory. Now their worst fears are realised.
Many years ago, Lord Monckton predicted America would be nation to lead the world to freedom from the anti-humanist greed of the green movement. Lord Monckton’s prediction has now come to pass.
In my native Australia, in Europe, across the world, in the bleak halls of the United Nations, the climate elite were gathering for one final great push to claim the future. Their plans are now in ruins.
God bless the United States of America. God bless the next President of the United States, Donald J Trump.

..Poor Griff must be crying in his Oatmeal !!
It will be dry, no milk..can’t have that, cows and CH4. And no honey/jam, can’t have that either as that consumes energy to make. Can’t have it hot either, as that uses energy. Can’t use a bowl and spoon, that uses energy and generates nasty CO2. Can’t go to the shops to buys it (Well I fully expect Griff does not grown his own food).
..He just walks down to the local food bank to get it…
I watched the entire thing, not getting to bed until after Trump’s speech (which was mercifully short). And I’m happy (and proud) to say my state of NH, a battleground state which stayed too close to call untill the wee hours, finally went for Trump. The Senate race, between governor Hassan (D) and Kelly Ayotte is still way too close to call though. The electoral numbers stayed stuck on 244 for Trump, and 219 for Clinton for hours, with some 6 states (including NH) still too close to call. It really looked like there wasn’t going to be anything decided last night. Still, I was surprised by the move of the Clinton camp, around 2 AM, to dismiss their supporters, saying it was too close to call. The ball was then in Trump’s court, and the logical thing seemed for him to do the same. The electoral numbers still weren’t budging. Then, around 2:45, out of the blue, came the announcement that Clinton had called Trump to concede the election. I never actually saw the numbers change, still at 244 Trump, 219 Clinton. Still trying to figure that out. Maybe ABC News which I was watching, dropped the ball. I liked his speech. It was gracious, and encouraging. But, as he said “the proof will be in the pudding”.
I honestly expected Hillary to bite off Trump’s finger and fall. grinning, into a flaming pool of lava before she conceded.
Mr. Cobb,
What the deal was could be seen at the NY Times up-to-the-minute voting results page (l found it via The Drudge Report). Once Trump won Florida and North Carolina and Ohio, with 95% of the vote counted in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and given Trump’s lead in those states, and given those states’ “likely vote Republican” character (around 75% and more),
along with with later reporting states like Arizona and Alaska, etc. which were VERY likely going to vote for him, given their overwhelmingly being likely to vote Republican,
the NYT projected that Trump had a > 95% chance of winning (and that % only grew as the hours passed) around 8PM, PST (iirc).
There was no realistic chance that the Crook was going to win.
Thank — the — Lord the win was by as great a margin as it was shaping up to be at that point — there was nothing to do but concede or be seen as a raving idiot (and that is why I say, “thank the Lord,” for that fact never stopped her before).
Janice
I’m guessing that somehow lightning struck and the Hillary camp was more willing to bend to reality than was the media.
The other possibility was that nobody in the media was willing to risk the wrath of the faithful by admitting that it was over first. (Look at what happened to that guy at 538, when he updated his charts to give Trump a 35% chance of winning the day before the election.)
The Paris non-Agreement is nullified. The arrow of time moves on.
The Clinton Foundation soon to be named The Clinton Legal Fund
…The most accurate post of the day !! Plus 499 gold stars…
Shouldn’t that fund be frozen pending investigation?
Congratulations U.S. Although in the short term, this may not be good for my country (Canada), hopefully in the long run, we will benefit also. It’s good to see the people back in charge, unlike here in Canada.
Push the man to keep his promises, especially those concerning getting freed from the hooks of the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming myth and its minions, putting the taxpaying citizens back in control, throwing out illegals, etc.
Good Luck. Don’t let your country succumb to the cancer raging here in Canada.
You might consider building a wall….
You Canucks might be getting some “Trump refugees” from places like SoCal in the near future. You got a glut of loony lefties as it is, so sorry about that.
If ya’ll arrange to have them get stranded in a nasty blizzard, or get eaten by the polar bears they claim to care about so much, well… we won’t judge you too harshly. 😉
The day America, true America, began to smile again.
“God’s amazing grace.” (Mike Pence)
Praise the Lord.
And the British are celebrating
(and Go, Brexit! — you’re going to win, British for liberty! — hang in there, victory is coming!!)! 🙂

“Never, never, never, never give up.” Sir Winston Churchill
Janice, that reminds me of the joke (Johnny Carson?) about Nixon complaining to his Mother about the stress he was under with Watergate. Nixon is supposed to have said: ‘She told me: Don’t you ever give up!’.
However, what JC said was that his Mother actually said: ‘Richard, don’t you EVER give up?’
Hi, Harry,
Lol. Your grandson (and other family members, too) has one fun grandpa.
Take care, over there,
Janice
You bet.
Every Patriotic Briton, and everyone who believes in democracy, and everyone who believes in government by the people for the people (rather than government by a select c@rrupt elite for the benefit of the select c@rrupt elite) are celebrating.
Clinton represented absolutely everything that is wrong with politics and politicians. She was clearly unfit for public office. In the UK the MSM are suggesting that she lost because she was a woman. I consider that to be nonsense. Had she been elected she would have put back the case of women in politics by decades, since within months she would have been a lame duck President continually fighting off fires as her past came back to haunt her. She would have been a very disappointing President with a legacy of failure, and as a consequence she would not have left a good legacy of promoting the women’s cause/breaking the glass ceiling.. Hopefully, sometime in the near future a worthy woman candidate can be found, and if up to the task, I am sure that America is ready to embrace a woman President. It is just that Clinton was not the right candidate for the job and her lengthy experience in public office showed that she was inept and incompetent.
The world is a far better place for yesterday’s vote. As others have said THANK YOU AMERICA you have done the world a favour.
Let’s not leave out everyone who loves bangers and mash and a good English breakfast? Beans, eggs sunny side up, bangers, a broiled tomato and two slices of cold toast with arm butter and marmalade. No better way to face the coming day.
No, not the “End of the Green Age”.
Trump is a businessman by nature. He sees opportunities and there is much opportunity in renewable technology.
Ask Elon Musk FI.
If he follows his instincts he will empower entreprenuers such as Musk.
That creates jobs and foreign income from exports.
It’s what the US did to become what it is after all.
Trump is an American patriot by nature. He loves America.
Therefore, he will NOT continue to stuff the hardearned taxpayers’ money into the pockets of the climate hu$tler$ whose “renewables” can ONLY break even with subsidies and artificial market-share-by-regulation.
Get lost, ToneB.
You are Tone DEAF today.
Today is about LIBERTY!
Amen Janice. Amen.
Janice:
FYI:
I voted for Brexit.
And I am a “patriot”.
That attribute isn’t confined to US citizens you know.
Dear Ton e B.,
I beg your pardon for appearing to cast aspersions on your patriotism. I was referring (in my awkwardly stated way) to President (just felt good to write it 🙂 ) Trump, defending his character against your labelling him a cynical, self-interested, “businessman” who cares more about his wallet than his country.
Good for you!
Cheers,
Phil** llololo, Janice**(that was a little inside joke based on the Climategate e mails event of 2009)
Wrong. The “opportunity” in renewables is mostly a false, government-driven one based on pseudoscience and lies. It’s all part of the swamp Trump needs to drain.
Exactly! First thing President Trump will require is a cost/benefit analysis and when that’s reviewed, we’ll hear laughter from the White House.
Tony, Elon is history. I hope he does well with SpaceX but something tells me that won’t happen either. Elon was a leach on the butt of America and that relationship is about to end.
Trump talked in his victory speech of building infrastructure.
Isn’t Musk planning to build a rapid-transport system in the California?
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/132405-what-is-elon-musk-s-700mph-hyperloop-the-subsonic-train-explained
As I said entrepeneurs.
Trump will help.
which is why I assume Tesla announce a major investment in a German tech firm just today ?
Really Tesla cars/powerwalls/soalr panels are a commercial success in waiting… the energy iphone
Toneb: Another government funded boondoggle that only makes sense because the government doesn’t care how much money it loses.
Griff: You remind me of fusion enthusiasts. Fusion is the power source of the future, and has been for 50 years.
Tonyb asks: Isn’t Musk planning to build a rapid-transport system in the California?
Yes, he’s the same person exploring the “hyperloop” technology to build a high speed vacuum assisted “rail” (not sure rails are really involved) system between San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and possibly San Diego.
But Elon is also proposing his ITS (Interplanetary Transport System). That system doesn’t include a cycle ship anywhere in its plans. This should tell us what we need to know about Elon’s engineering skill; it’s non-existent. I’m sorry to report that I sincerely believe unless a Mars/Earth cycle ship is part of his plan, it will never fly (literally). Perhaps he understands hyperloop but doesn’t understand cycle ship? Nope. No joy.
“Trump is a businessman by nature.”
Yes, and Trump knows a bad investment when he see’s one, Taxpayer funded Green Energy is dead !
If they can’t float on their own, then they will drown !
Toneb,
Do you have all your retirement funds invested in renewables an carbon credits?
In case you ask, I don’t have a single investment in fossil fuels.
Nope, but I have Solar PV and a wood- burner.
Is that OK?
And if the world did as you, Toneb, the landscape would resemble Haiti’s.
Toneb~ So, you can go off the grid but still produce CO2. I like that!
Trump is a businessman by nature.
Builder. And Developer.
Romney was just ‘a businessman.’
The only opportunity in renewables is the opportunity to rake in the subsidies.
Toneb,
What opportunity? Once the subsidies are removed, ‘renewable technology’ is a losing proposition.
I can’t believe it. This sort of thing never happens to me. I need a nap.
#(:)) Same here!
This election was a referendum against Media Propaganda.
This election was a referendum against Hollywood Celebrities, Comedians, and Musicians.
This election was a referendum against Political Corruption, Ambition, and Condescension.
But most of all, this election was a referendum against Socialist Aggression and Conservative Complacency.
We have won the day, but don’t expect them to go peacefully into the night.
“Lord Monckton predicted America would be nation to lead the world to freedom from the anti-humanist greed of the green movement.”
In reality it was the Brexit “vote heard round the world” that really started the ball rolling so thanks for doing your part Brits. Seeing that it could be done, that the intellectual yet idiot class could be beaten kept a lot of people from being depressed and not voting under relentless media propaganda.
Hillary Clinton had EVERY advantage she could handed to her on a silver plate. DNC, RNC, media shamelessly shilling for her, all the special interest groups from pharma, banks, climate, military industrial complex and an opponent who was very polarizing. Yet she LOST.
That is a tribute to the American people that they could overcome such overwhelming odds. Now the hard work begins. Re-establish the rule of law for all.
I have to agree; in this example the Brits led the charge and deserve full credit. Without them America wouldn’t have had the courage. You stood against mediated predictions of failure and dire consequences. You served as a model.
You have my thanks.
I am pro Trump, but I also am a realist.
If you study American History you will find that an Impeachment does not require an actual crime. You just have to anger a majority of the House. which then needs to convince the Senate.
the first President to be impeached, Andrew Johnson, committed the sin of dismissing a Government Employee that was under the protection of the House.
So it is quite plausible that the establishment could decide to impeach Donald for the horrible act of opposing the Greens. After all, the existing holdover establishment Republicans plus the Democrats constitute a majority.. Same in the Senate. After all Ryan and McCain have zero love for Donald.
Add in the fact that if Trump is removed Pence takes over. To the establishment this is all to the good, they get a longtime establishment figure at the cost of a brief flirtation with populism.
Trust not in politicians.
..They would then loose any chance at reelection in the following years….
No impeachment of a major figure will get past a Senate trial.
I think there would be an uprising. The people are sick and tired of not having their views and wishes taken into account. And it’s happening world-wide. We’re all sick and tired of being told what to do and what to think, and we’re sick and tired of being bludgeoned with guilt. Most of all we are sick and tired of being pushed around by politicians and NGOs who think they know better than we do. We’re sick and tired of being bullied. America voted for Trump. They want Trump.
A helluvalot of great expectations. But there are going to be disappointments as well. I give him credit to learn and learn to act wisely.
Headline: Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming ends with a perception change.
Hopefully, we will proceed with a comprehensive plan based on merits, not emotions.
One of my relatives emailed: “A sad America, God help us all”.
I replied: “He just did.”
Ron Richey
Oh so true.
“A sad America, God help us all”
Those were my exact feelings when Barack Obama was elected in 2008. I knew he was a liberal (though he portrayed himself as a centrist in the 2008 election), and that America was about to be fundamentally transformed (which it has been). But the sun rose the next day, I had a job and a loving family, and life went on.
So it will be with Trump. In fact, if he is successful in bringing together diverse coalitions to achieve real progress, people will be very surprised and happy with their new leader (and his cabinet) and the direction of the country.
However, our detestable mainstream media will hang on long enough to create phony scandals in an effort to distract and block progress. Fortunately, they no longer have the power they once had, as new media choices end their dominance. And the Wikileaks e-mails have shown me that there really is no difference between CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO etc. and the Democrat Party in this country (if it weren’t already plainly obvious).
Finally, I hate to see people arguing and debating about investment in renewables versus traditional energy technologies. We CAN have both, and I view any effort to achieve energy independence from middle east oil as a BIG win for society. Cheap solar panels for my house? Bring it on!
Most of the American people have lost all faith in the “Main Stream Media”, including Fox news since it changed ownership…They gambled on a Clinton win, and lost credibility big time !!
If only those who like expensive unreliables were the ones paying for them, that would be fine. But they’re not, and you know it. Energy independence? Please. That’s just a favorite fairy tale those in the “clean energy” like to tell, to try to fool the gullible ones.
As if there were cheap solar panels, Frank. Do you mean you want others to pay for your solar panels?
As long you are investing with your own money, more power to you.
Unfortunately you are investing with my money as well.
Since solar panels take more energy to make, install, and dispose of then they can produce during their useful lives, just how are they reducing foreign oil usage?
PS: We don’t use oil to generate electricity. So you aren’t even managing to any progress on your stated objective.
+1!
+1000 🙂
French Ambassador:
“After Brexit and this election, everything is now possible. A world is collapsing before our eyes. Dizziness.”
Yes, the world run by Liberal Socialist Elites is collapsing before our eyes…finally !
literally
At last! Boy that feels good! 😀
It is not easy to create jobs. Trump will have his work cut out.
However, if industrial jobs are to be created, the cost of energy is one of the most important factors. I think that this will inevitably cause Trump to back fossil fuels and scale back on renewables.
That policy will receive much opposition, and Trump will therefore need to convince Americans that the claims by Greens and the Renewable Energy sector are false or very much exaggerated.
I think that there is a very good chance that Trump will immediately go after the EPA. I consider that an attack on the temperature data record will also be in his sights. None of this will cost much money, and it is likely that he will defund many organisations so as to better use that money in creating jobs.
Trump will have a very hostile public if he does not fulfill his promise to create jobs. That must therefore be his prime target, and of course, at the same time he will do something about cheap migrant labour who are taking the jobs from the demographic that Trump appealed to.
I think that given the constitution of the Senate and Congress that it is likely that we will see real change in the Climate/Renewable field very early into the Trump tenure. I am quite optimistic on that.
..Fortunately, that is what he does best…IMHO…
why fossil fuel?
shale gas is still cheaper than coal – coal power plant isn’t coming back.
commercial companies are substantially investing in renewables… that’s where the jobs and money are.
Commodities like gas and coal are cyclical. Coal will come back. Only government interference in free markets can screw things up, like subsidizing “renewables and green energy” while regulating against fossil fuels.
” Coal will come back.”
I very much doubt that unless Trump makes special arranegments nationally, or has it exported to China.
Thatcher new that in the 80’s.
Newsflash, Griff; Coal power never left, though certainly it has declined somewhat under the coal-hating Obama regime. With a Trump presidency, that decline, which was only partly based on a surge in natural gas, can be turned around. Both are needed, being very close competitors. Take coal away, and natural gas prices will tend to spike.
Shale gas is fossil fuel.
The US was much derided and criticised for not ratifying Kyoto, and yet of all the developed nations it has cut its CO2 emissions the most. It has done that on the back of shale.
By contrast, Germany pressed on with renewables, wind and solar and has not cut its CO2 emissions at all these past 15 years.
We know that shale works if one is interested in reducing CO2 emissions. Personally, I am not that bothered (if for no other reason than there is strong evidence suggesting that the globe today is no warmer than it was in the 1940s during which time over 95% of all manmade CO2 emissions have taken place), and there is strong evidence that more CO2 is a good thing (it greening the planet).
There is still a role for coal with modern clean coal stations, but obviously shale will be a major player..
As I say, what is needed is cheap energy. It is important to lower costs down to the level of China and India.
The jobs in solar are mainly based on tax shifting in the rooftop solar segment. The main cost reduction focus in utility scale is low labor cost during construction with those temporary jobs. That’s after major cost reductions in panel production with automation and capacity expansions in Malaysia. The two or three jobs at completed utility scale solar farms are a fraction of other power plant types. So the labor intensive rooftop segment consumes 50 percent of the tax credits and much less of the solar MW results compared to the other half. Obama was propping up that inefficient half at the expense of total solar penetration, obviously for political reasons and special interests in the rooftop installer lobby.
Griffie, “shale gas is still cheaper than coal” where it is available. In the aggregate, people will always use the least cost alternative available to them. For electric energy production, coal, oil and gas are freely interchangeable fossil fuels. Thank private enterprise for shale gas expansion in the U.S.
Your “commercial companies are substantially investing in renewables” is laughable. They are being paid to do so through direct subsidies and feed-in tariffs. As the insane subsidies are further curtailed, you will see much less “investing.”
Charlie Skeptic
“commercial companies are substantially investing in renewables… that’s where the jobs and money are.”
roflmao….. You really do live on an alternate planet, don’t you Griff.
Subsidies and feed-ins will now disappear.. renewables will die a natural death..
undoubtedly leaving the taxpayer to clean up the thousands and thousands of useless wind turbines littering the landscape.
Poor little Griffie, he actually thinks that shale gas isn’t a fossil fuel.
Regardless, as more shale gas is used, price pressures will cause it to be more expensive. This will price coal back into the mix.
Your latest fantasy is as absurd as your belief that arctic ice is about to disappear.
Toneb: Study a little bit about the differences between English and American coal mines.
Then hang your head in shame.
Actually Trump is not a true Republican, was a democrat once and has been fighting the republican party this election. He owes nothing to anybody. If he needs a title, he is a true independent
He has usurped the GOP establishment and as POTUS will be the leader of the GOP. Trump has a whole lot of house cleaning and bridge building to do in his own party in order to maximize his ability to reach his goals. The executive branch can do many things, but to make the really big and more permanent changes Trump must get his own party into line behind him in order to get enough of congress to follow him. The democrats still have the power to stop things in the senate unless Trump can make his own party willing to implement the “nuclear option” to end the filibusters that they will face. The democrats will justify their obstructionism by denying Trump has a mandate because it appears that Hillary will have gotten a majority of the popular vote and their press will trumpet this line endlessly. This is not the end of the green blob or so many other black holes that our wealth disappears into. A Winston Churchill quote serves very well here:
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

I see your point, RAH, but, I would urge a different approach for President Trump: “Get in line or get out of the way.” He should simply lead — no bridge building within the RNC. The RINOS and others who don’t like his style of play can form their own ball club. And play softball. And lose. Again.

And so Trump doesn’t get the SCOTUS appointments or legislation passed that we need to turn this thing around in the long term. That is the power the old establishment RINOs like McCain and Graham hold unless they can be enticed or dragged into line. Trump and his administration will not be able to do this alone. It will take concerted and focused political action by the people burning up phone lines with calls and faxes and clogging the emails of those kind of people with their opinions and threats of nonsupport to make it happen. Remember the Gang of eight? Well that is the exact kind of crap your going to see going on unless certain RINOs can be suppressed or forced to get into line.
There are a lot of different definitions of ‘true Republican’. Some base it on social conservativism, others fiscal conservativism.
It would be easy to be a ‘not-conservative’ when you are young, emotional, and deeply interested in social issues. It would be easy to be a fiscal conservative when you are older and worry more about your and the country’s fiscal health more than social issues.
To me, however, a true Republican is one who believes the best government is that which governs least. Let society deal with social issues, provide economic health by maintaining a government that spends only on truly governmental functions. I have high hopes that Trump will opt for reducing the size of government. The bureaucracy has created a regulatory nightmare for businesses if you look at reporting requirements alone, much less all the operational regulations. And we spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year on redundant programs.
A good businessman could really improve the efficiency of government. It’s simply deplorable now.
Jtom, in the US, that position is called Libertarianism.
nc: Actually Trump is not a true Republican, was a democrat once and has been fighting the republican party
Son (or ma’am, as applicable) MOST all of Texas was ‘democrat’ up until 20 some years ago ..
Things change AS the democrat party changed further to the left.
Trump was a Democrat until just prior to his decision to run for president as a Republican.
Ron Paul was a Libertarian, but ran under the Republican flag only because he understood the US electoral system would never be able to to put a third party in the White House. Trump did something Paul couldn’t; he successfully stole the Republican nomination.
He’s not a self declared Libertarian but he’s the closest thing the USA has seen in a very long time.
Congratulations Mr. Trump / Here´s your briefing for this week! / ten-point plan
+ end the US-occupation of Germany
+ close all US-military bases in the World
+ call back all US-soldiers from all over the World
read all, inform all … 😉
Congratulations Mr. Trump / Here´s your briefing for this week! / ten-point plan
https://aufgewachter.wordpress.com/2016/11/09/congratulations-mr-trump-heres-your-briefing-for-this-week-ten-point-plan/
Seriously?
Do you know WHY the U.S. is spending its treasure and time sitting around in Germany (and other countries of the world) year after year??? Oh, man.
Oh. I get it, now! You are a “let’s appease 1S1$” (worked so nicely with your man in the 1930’s) guy/gal. Sure, Get-out Guy/Gal, if Ambassador Stevens had just packed up and left Benghazi months before, instead of trying to help the Libyans get their backward country off the ground, he wouldn’t have needed the U.S. military support from our base in Italy that he never got (after all, “what difference {would it have made}?”) ….
And to defend themselves against the immigrant Isl@m1sts in their town squares, Germans will just reach in the hall closet of their haus for their shot guns….. What? Someone took them away years ago? And I just wonder who that was.
Hint: it was not the United States.
And in the 1980’s, where would Betty Mahmoudi have run to with her daughter, Machtob (sp?)? Into the Russian embassy?
Well, the Russians will still be there.
Sure, Fritz/Fritzi, we’ll go home. Start studying Russian. Maybe the 1$1S guys have free classes at night.
http://www.us-bases.com/images/GERMANY_map_all.jpg
I am sure that Mr. Trump will be very grateful for your excellent advice.
We are occupying Germany? If so, the Germans don’t seem to be aware of it.
Why don’t you just declare that we need to disband the military and learn to sing Kum by ya while you are at it.
http://www.us-bases.com/images/GERMANY_map_all.jpg
🙁
The US “Occupation” officially ended in the 50s. The US gave up it’s last possessions of facilities in Germany based on the WW II treaty in the 90s. Our forces are now in Germany by mutual consent as members of NATO. Those that want the remaining relatively small US forces out need to talk to their own government. I wouldn’t suggest that though since Germany has refused to invest adequately for it’s own defense when one looks at the potential threat they could face. Besides, though NATO HQ is in Brussels, Germany is the actual operational heart of NATO.
In 1990 I and about 40 other SF soldiers then serving in 1st Bn., 10th SFG(A) stationed at Flint Kassern in Bad Tolz attended German jump school. We were in formation and greeted by the German Major then in command of their school. I remember his talk well. The gist of it was, we don’t want you here but we understand why you have to be here.
Over the next couple days we made our five jumps using their equipment and jumping from their C-160 aircraft. Then after the little graduation where we were awarded their Fallschirmjäger wings, we US soldiers and the school cadre, had a big party and had a great time before we left.
Having attended several German military training schools and having trained with them many times I can’t ever recall ever having anything but a good time with their troops. And in general I was always treated with respect with no hint of resentment by the common Germany people. I sat at the tables of several different German families over the almost 4 years I was in that country. It was always the members of their leftist movements and parties that would make displays of their displeasure that we were there.
..One thing people are neglecting to talk about…..Melania has to be the most beautiful First Lady EVER to grace the White House, as are the First Daughters…The U.S. future is so bright we need to wear shades !! LOL
It is models all the way down.
LOL. Love it. 😀
I really like what Trump has said about the Environment and climate change. I might be projecting, but what I hear is “focus on clean environment, drop the CO2 nonsense”. Let’s hope he doesn’t make the same mistake that Bush made with Hansen, and drains the swamp of climate bottom-feeders, and puts reasonable men of science back in charge of institutions like NASA.
Should anyone wonder why Trump won, here’s a sampling of quotes from Clinton supporters:
‘We are disgusted, embarrassed, we are sorry on behalf of our country that the white male uneducated vote has spoken today.’
‘We, as the other half of the country that believes in love, unity, and fairness – we have to gather together even stronger to fight against this man who only represents hate and bigotry and xenophobia.’
‘Our lives are not safe – as queer women, as brown women.’
‘I think these people probably flunked out of school – they don’t know history, they don’t understand the world,’
‘We feel like we live in a bubble – voting for Trump to me is so shocking.’
All courtesy of the Daily Mail.
My advice: look in the mirror as to why your candidate was rejected. Even a boorish brute was able to tap into the sentiment of those who are tired of being called bigots, sexists, racists, homophobes, etc.
America needed a reset and reset we did. Now if only the parties would find reasonable candidates who aren’t elitist prigs we’ll be in good shape next time around.
Yes.
If the stinking, pervasive corruption was absent from the very top of the Democratic Party, then Bernie Sanders would be the winner today. We all desperately needed this break from grift and the criminal lawyers who have almost destroyed your great country.
I hope he can turn things around.
A not a word has ever been published about the very large block of uneducated voters who voted monolithically to elect the current President, and did so again in an attempt to elect the failed candidate in this election. Do they not see their own racism? Of course not.
DJT won not because HRC lost it, it is because most of his life from the early childhood to the present day he spent lot of time around his fathers and his own building sites, he knows how and what the working man thinks.
Being a hands-on boss in his businesses bodes well for his upcoming Administration. More than likely he’s not going to be like the stereotypical CEO, who spends a couple hours in the office and the rest of the day on the golf course.
I think you’re right, Vuk, and he knows how they/we speak; in a somewhat blunt/no-nonsense style that he adopted for most of the campaign. Thing is, most people (in the real world of getting the job done, and done right, anyway) understand that form of speech . . and know not to take it “literally”, but as a form of street poetry almost. It signaled to many millions that he was aware of them, and respected them, I believe.
I love the way these kind, compassionate Democrats first display their hatred towards anyone who doesn’t agree with them, but secondly declare that anyone who doesn’t have multiple degrees in women’s studies is uneducated.
When they say “educated”, I hear “indoctrinated”.

You seem to have picked out quotes that in no way reflect the poitical leanings of the Daily Mail.
The paper is right-wing.
This at the top of the Home page in The Mail Online….
“I was right. Trump’s triumph has crushed the lefty luvvies, useless pollsters, multicultural mafia and gender Nazis who refuse to listen to regular people. So, from a Brexiteer, thank you America”
Actually, and surprisingly for the “Wail” It’s called balanced reporting.

And???? So what? The Guardian is extremely left-wing, as is the BBC, Channel 4, The Independent, the Daily Mirror and a few others. Are you against balance reporting? Please go and do one!
Obama acted as if he was “King” of America. Clinton was simply more Obama.
After the humiliating midterm elections of 2014 where Obama and his Democrats lost huge numbers of seats in the House and Senate which sent a clear message that Americans didn’t like what Obama was doing the “King” instead doubled down on his unpopular policies with executive orders and legal actions and arrogantly ignored Congress.
Obama and his Democrats are out of touch with main stream Americans as this election clearly shows.
It will be a pleasure watching Trump undo what the “King” and his Democrats should never have done in the first place.
Hopefully Trump will work with Congress and not emulate the misguided arrogance of “King” Obama and his badly out of touch Democrats..
We just dodged a war, or two.
Possibly WW.
Thank you America.
But, DT will be shown … things … by TPTB. We can’t have a maverick just running the US as if it were a business ffs. We may all come to have a little more insight into the continuous and relentless manipulation from ‘above’ that was manifest, for example, in ALL the obviously biased ‘polls’ – all the ‘shock of his win’ headlines reveal such.
Things could still go pear shaped.
If, granted a big if, the current narcissistic nonentity in the big chair ‘decides’ to throw a war with someone and then declare martial law, that would be a way out for ‘the elite’ also.
But, with the clouds gathering around Russia if I had to guess the answers to the questions:
Shall we go to war Madame President?
Shall we go to war Mr President?
With great relief, I believe, we would all hear a loud ‘Hell, NO” from the POTUS we now have.
Henry, while I understand your sympathies, I don’t believe they’re practical. Unlike Germany in the 20’s, the US citizenry hasn’t yet been disarmed. Any attempt to do so would very likely meet resistance. I don’t believe the stage has been set for the autocratic takeover you suggest.
