Trump won, opinions?

So who even thinks about Czechoslovakia not existing for 32 years; we can just say it still does, Trump style, lie and lie for God's sake, and then lie again.

Good for some. Bad for others.

Overhyped by both groups.
I swear to god, your posts are the main reason I still read this forum.
0% hype, 0% propaganda, 100% factual advice with the occasional spicy meme sprinkled in. Please keep up what you're doing.

And to prevent this from being an off-topic:

Judging from Trump's history and 1st term, he will do great on foreign policy but will not solve any internal issues as he's not a great politician = he's not great on finding common ground with democrats and actually bringing bi-partisan legislation.

I expect less wars, more stability and stock market will probably go up.
I give 75% probability that Ukraine war ends within the next 12 months.

What would you do to find common ground with the democrats? Only put tampons in 50% of men's bathrooms as a compromise?

Republicans have the Senate and the House now, and they have a huge mandate to carry out the policies they ran on based on winning the popular vote.

The critical thing is who he puts in positions. Last time, he had too many neocons and weasel-like war hawks who are very much part of the deep state. I keep seeing Mike Pompeo's name thrown around; if he's involved, I lose some optimism. There's also the fact Adelson gave him $100m so does that impact the middle east? Probably.

If RFK can handle health, Musk can clear out all the waste and pen pushers, and you get someone like Douglas Macgregor on foreign policy and military, then it could be great.

Basically, if he fills his team with who the woke crowd label as conspiracy theorists, nazis, misogynists, threats to democracy etc. He's onto a winner.

This is a very important discussion we are having; however, I don't believe it will change anything or that we are facing doomsday just because Trump has come to power. He has already done something very positive; the crypto market is rising like crazy, which is a welcome development.

The rest, in my personal opinion, is merely an indication of how corrupted this world is and how incredibly uninformed many Americans are.

might makes right.

Yes, many Americans also believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. I thought it was an ongoing joke, but it turns out to be true. I don't understand how the global population can seem to become less intelligent with each passing day.

If we are talking about events outside the USA, I'd agree

But what specifically, by electing Donald Trump, did many Americans show they are uninformed about?

I hope you're asking this question solely to keep the conversation going!

A man who lies from morning to night and knows nothing about politics or society in America gets elected as president. That says more about the people who voted for this person than words can explain. I completely agree with the others here.

The way it has been predicted in Germany, it will do significant damage to the German car industry, so Germany risks falling into an even deeper recession. BMW, Mercedes, and VW will all become American-German.
German car industry already started moving to the US - it’s reliant on cheap energy from Russia and demographics - Germany no longer has both and both can’t be sorted within 10 yrs thus Germany is and will be the sick man of Europe going forward.

The real power players on the continent will be France and perhaps Italy if it can / does invade North Africa to take control of and secure its own energy supply

So, as usual, there are no specifics, just broad claims of "liar, felon, a threat to democracy", etc.

I find it pretty bad that he lied about working at McDonald's, though. There was no record of him doing so. Oh no, wait, that was the other candidate!

Perhaps his lack of political career and knowledge of how to be a politician is an asset. He's undoubtedly a threat to their bureaucracy. But in your opinion, what doesn't Trump know about politics that he should?

And what doesn't he know about society that he should, in your opinion?
