Trump is the political elite, as is Harris... He's a former president and multinational business owner

Definitely going to be interesting, I wonder if all the celebs that threatened to leave the country if he won are currently packing up their belongings and putting their multi million pound mansions on the rental market.

Popcorn time

Popcorn time is exactly what it is - it's like a soap opera or listening to your neighbours have a huge argument. As soon as that picture came out of him being shot in the ear and standing firm, I knew that would boost his popularity. Going to be entertaining reading the news again after the Labour/starmer tax increases borefest.

I don't think many Democrats would be that bothered, they didn't seem that bothered when he cheated on his wife.

So they wouldn’t be bothered if he had sex with under aged, trafficked girls? Doesn’t say much for Democrat voters.

Mainly that he's a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, lying, conman.

homophobic? any evidence? he did appoint richard grenell to his "cabinet". he was also the first potus to arrive with no issue with gay marriage. biden and obama both opposed it to start with.

Reading about taxes in countries you don’t live in is boring. Which is why I don’t read about taxes in Norway.

If he is misogynist, homophobic, racist and a liar then there is a religion which would welcome him with open arms.

Well my point is he's not in the party, so why would they have any sympathy for him?

Trump is the leader of the party, is a convicted felon and rapist (and also a potential Epstein customer), yet his supporters made him president. What does that say about American, Christian conservatives?

but NOT a career politician. and NOT part of the "deep state". i like the effect he has. it's like when wimbledon got into division one here and didn't pay attention to any of the niceties and respect the other teams expected.

one of the major evils, possibly the worst, in the world is the world banks. they need annihilating. they've arranged wars for the last 110 years and profited whichever side won and they've used the cia for regime change. i want them gone. there's enough resources in the world for everyone, but not everyone gets them. if trump doesn't kill off the world banks, nobody ever will, and the world will continue suffering like it has since these banks started running the world.

They should never involved themselves in U.S.A politics,especially when there was a distinct possibility that Trump could be elected again.It was naive at best and idiotic at worst.

That said,it was always Trumps mission(if he were elected) to introduce huge tariffs on imports but our relationship with America may have allowed us some leeway,that looks a forlorn hope now.

What does it say about the 45% of Hispanics who voted for, him and the large number of blacks in places like Detroit whose votes swung it his way?They will appreciate being told they are thick morons.
Harris saying she lost because Americans don’t understand economics. Maybe she should have discussed them and her plans for the economy instead of just grinning inanely and waving whilst saying Trump isn’t very good so vote for me. She said they had to put right what had gone on in the previous 10 years. She does realise her party was in charge for 6 of those years?

It's somewhat ironic given there are people that like to call him racist and misogynistic, that apparently a big part of his victory is due to the increased vote from blacks, hispanics, migrants and women.

Eh, it’s nuanced. Certain demographics would never vote for him in significant numbers. Young white women, black women, LGBT people and certain Hispanic groups for example would never. Young white men, a significant amount of young black men and Cuban-Americans in Florida definitely vote for him. His main support base is white Gen X and Boomers though.
 
Okay, I've looked and although there hasn't yet been a public announcement, it seems Harris has called Trump to concede the election.

That being the case, and to give any late comers a chance to comment, as the election is over I propose to close this thread at noon today.
