In what way can you construe that a Trump administration espousing racism, sexism, anti- abortion, intolerance, imposing tariffs and building walls are in any way our "soul mates"?

As a English person living in the States for the last 15 years, this is by far and away the lowest point I have experienced, my wife is in tears, and my kids are going to sleep scared of their future. Seriously scary future.

I feel for you, hopefully it will be limited a how much damage he can do

How deluded can these Yanks be.

I'm watching the US election run in at work mind you, and I cannot believe what I'm hearing.
Normal folk being interviewed and giving there praise to the flip top headed buffoon, that is Trump.
I bet there'll be raise in mental conditions, given when they all find out what they've done in voting.
I accept that HC is no angel, but far less of a buffoon.

I think he's got his own grassy knoll going on there

Agreed. All you can do is hope that he will become more Presidential and try to pull a completely divided nation back together again. But not holding my breath.

Also guessing my 401K savings will tank when the markets open tomorrow

Holy ***. What have the yanks gone and done now?
I knew it was possible when I went to bed at 1am, with Florida and North Carolina looking tight, but I didn't think he'd actually win it!!! He's got it in the bag now hasn't he?
I called Brexit and Scots' 'stay' votes, but I'm a bit go smacked by this.
At least I can plan a quick holiday to the states as the dollar will be cheaper for a while

Had a small bet on Trump, i certainly didn't believe the Clinton hype. People are voting for change, just like they did with Brexit, although the numbers and gap between the candidates will be much more significant.

You're still doing it! Why don't you engage your brain and watch the reality. You may not - but I admire the American people.

I wonder what The Donald will be back tracking on breakfast TV, this morning?

It's going to be tougher for him as other than the wall, (which we all know isn't going to happen) he has no other policies.

Wise words Sir Lyndhurst.

We are now looking at the thin veins of positiveness, but it will be tough. Women, minorities and those who he does not like have to move on and try to make something out of this. I just did the math on our 401k on the current market, and I fear out losses will be as bad as the reaction to the Brexit result.

 

[DataPoint]

.....and more conciliatory than you by the tone of your post.

I had no preference - I did not bash anyone - but I was shrewed enough be in a position of living with the conscequences of either winner.

UK foreign policy will now basically have to fawn over Trump and keep telling the narcissist how great he is.

I hope Boris realises this, and it's something I'm sure he's good at.
