Trump stands for everything I'm against: bigotry, racism, elitism, misogyny, antiquated views on the environment, attitude to women... I had hoped to visit my friends again this year who live in Palm Springs, Ca, We were also interested in a Florida winter holiday. That won't happen now. My wife and I will not be traveling to the US with this monster in power. SCO, Stateside, Washington and others, you have my deepest sympathies. It's a sad, sad day.
All you can do is try to look at the lighter side of this, after all thats the British way of dealing with adversity. And on that note, you should definitely come to Palm Spring CA, we now have legalized marijuana here so you can come and get high!!!!
On a serious note though, I am not at all convinced he as a person is all of those things you mention. He knew what to say to get elected, he knew what his base supporters wanted to hear, he knew the rust belt would love his rhetoric on factories moving to Mexico as a result of NAFTA, basically he knew how to work his audience into a frenzy!! He is the ultimate showman and entertainer!!! Now lets see what he actually wants to do and what he is prepared to do, I am hoping its different to the guy we have seen on the campaign, not a lot of faith but a bit of hope!!
