After 100 days in office trump supporters be like "Dear lord this parachute is a knapsack! “People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will sooner or later believe it.” ― Walter C. Langer

CNN wrote:The stock market rally continues for a second day after Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton. "Perception now is that the controversial multi-billionaire TV presenter and property mogul could be good for business; and talk of tax cuts and heavy spending on infrastructure would certainly be good for growth," said Lee Wild, head of equity strategy at stockbroker Interactive Investor.

This is definitely not the time to discus this. especially not with a republican house. But Even Trump himself had issues with the same system So the country elected Trump but the system elected Trump. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

231,556,622 eligible voters
46.9% didn't vote 25.6% voted Clinton 25.5% voted Trump
Almost 50% of eligible voters not voting is very deep electoral apathy. It also means DT as electoral winner doesn't enjoy wide national mandate/ public confidence, has to work even harder to push policies thru a very skeptical public. And keeping him safe will be an onerous task - Secret Service will be very very busy next 4 years protecting him.
Our 2013 elections turnout was 86%, highest in Kenya's history, meaning 14% or 2.1m pple (sometimes I think they are the clever ones) just didn't give a shiet who we chose as prezo, and while we queued in the cold and blistering sun they were just yawning at home and imbibing beer as the rest determined their fate - or did they by not voting determine our fate? Means our apathy has been high >15% over the years - why?
shida yao pia ni Election system yao iko 18th century. The voter's registry, the registration of electors, removal of deceased ziko down. HOW?? in a country with 324,707,000 population? Hiyo data iko na shida! i.am.back!!!!

However, he would make bitter, lasting enemies of the twenty-something million Americans covered by the scheme; The move would also deeply annoy Democrats, who are now revving their engines to frustrate future Republican efforts to create legislation to back Trump's policies. More fuel to the fire. Closer home, local politicians used Raila's efforts to relocate people from Mau forest to devastating effect. IMHO, there is no such thing as "outsiders" in politics. Not for long anyway. As long as America is not a straight-up dictatorship and everything has to pushed through 2 houses, Trump is about to get served with filibustering and sabotage of the century ...he will realize that executive decisions a'la "The Apprentice" have no purchase and to get anything done he will have to get his hands dirty glad-handing, diplomacy and smoothing ruffled feathers. And that is local American politics. Akina ISIS, China, Syria, Russia, NATO, EU, Britain, North Korea, Japan and Israel are all concocting curve balls as we speak. Newt Gingrich as Secretary of State?  Get popcorn. Trump is going to have to become a Washington insider in very short order. What a time to be alive!

I too do not expect a too radical shift from the way things have been, the way they are and the way they will be. But of course it will be naive to expect there will be absolutely no differences in the way things are run at leas for the next 4 years. But whatever internal politics - obamacare and whatnot - that goes on over there for us it will be like a rocking chair. It will give us something to do but not get us anywhere. Its the foreign policy that should interest us because that is what will affect us.
