Very good speech from Trump. I have a feeling that Democrats would win this election with any other candidate except for Clinton due to her unpopularity and that people did vote against Clinton and not for Trump. I might be wrong as I look at this from European perspective.

Congratulations to Mr. President Trump!

It was a good speech I thought, a presidential speech.

Congratulations, America has ceased to be great :)

"There was an early rush into gold today, as panicky investors looked for a safe place for their money."

So that's a thing. FYI putting your money in gold isn't a useful thing for humanity. Gold just sits there looking pretty; on the pkus side it doesn't do much harm to the environment either...

imo, America being great or has less to do with who is in the executive office, and more to do with the character and industry of its people, laws, and customs.

MAGA

Only fools but gold

Buy^^

"America has ceased to be great :)"

America has not been great for a while. Trump actually has/had nothing to do with that. This wasnt a vote for trump, it was a vote against Hillary and the political status quo.

And for the next four years I want the question considered:
Was it worth it?

DOW near record high after Trump victory.

@Leon, is this something you are celebrating? Your candidate *NOT* following through on his campaign promises??

"Market strategists said the upbeat mood in the markets is due in part to Trump’s victory speech, which raised hopes that he will focus on policies that can help the economy and not follow through on some of his extreme campaign positions."

That's just media spin. DOW is really rising because investors realized the country would actually be better under President Trump.

Hey remember when we had a Clinton victory thread?

Lol

Congratulations Mr. Trump and his supporters.

For those singing the praises of the electoral college system, what do you make of this campaign?

I disagree with one particular sentance... when the article claims that Secretary Clinton 'should' win since she won the popular vote. If our elections were based only on Popular Vote, no candidate would have any reason to campaign in or for any regions of the USA but NYC, LA, Central Florida, and MAYBE Houston. We don't want that, do we? What those who oppose the Electoral College seem to want is for our Presidential Candiates to CAMPAIGN for the electoral College system... but have the votes COUNT as for a Popular Vote system. You can't have both.

I know... facebook... sigh.

Electors are chosen by the Republican Party for the states the Republicans won.

Great time to be an American and really looking forward to the next four years. Couldn't be happier!

Yeah, but how much of the Republican party still detest Trump?
