Ha ha ha! Now that's a philosophical way of treating such a crisis! Also move away from the 59M American voters and reel off the massive number of Americans who didn't vote Trump and many others who were disgusted with both candidates and didn't vote at all! These people are relevant to the debate! Also no surprise to see Clinton win the populist vote but it was not enough! Good to read all the caveats attached to your thread, most of them hitting the moral ground and highly questionable comments that Trump kept uttering month after month in the lead up to this astonishing result. Also worth mentioning the Republican party has been fractured and divided by Trump himself - time to build bridges after offending many so called allies within the Republican Party? We'll see how it unfolds after the 1st 100 days of Trump rule! I don't share your economic optimism either but I wonder how much will be made by Trump's business and property empire - surely an unhealthy vested interest anyway!! I see him lowering corporate taxes and ultimately increasing US debt but that doesn't automatically kick start an ailing manufacturing industry and other related industries that are in need of help - it doesn't work as easily as that. I also tend to take a step back and look at the significant link to all the 'Political Black Swan' (read the book, which is enlightening) unforeseeable events that we've witnessed in our life time. That link is the global financial crash of 2011(?) that globally affected millions n millions of people. Now I detect a similarity to the events in the 1930s that followed the famous Wall Street crash (Black Tuesday)of 1929. These events were a prelude to the outbreak of World War II in 1939. I pray that I will not be watching a similar catastrophic scenario unfold again because lotsa people in certain dominant countries could not vote wisely and see beyond the end of their noses that such a vote is potentially fraught with danger particularly if this erratic man moves away from the political domestic scene of the USA! I listened to two different American citizens on bbc radio and both of them sounded like ordinary down to earth Americans who commented, 'They were not proud of their country today'. They were gutted, devastated by this awful result and what was evident was the revulsion that the people had been 'landed' with two of the most horrible political candidates in US political history!! It should never have happened in a country with a population of >135M people!!
