Everyone has underestimated how poor people and people living in the dark ages and
Pretty bad that a racist and mysogynist like Trump could get into power. It does not give the country a good image and will allow people to think they can be racist and misogynist like trump.
Having said that it is not a surprise that trump is in. They thought they could just keep putting down trumps personality rather than his policies. What white working class want is there way of life which has been destroyed by globalisation. Not just that, they feel marginalised as PC has taken over the world and they can see the status quo does not work for them.
You mention cheap cars and cheap phones, i'm not sure the working class care about that sort of stuff. That's probably more relevant to the young.
I'm fairly educated and in a well paid job and even i think the political elite are taking the piss and filling their own pockets and i feel resentful.
I can only imagine how a poor person must feel, resigned to the scrap heap whilst the rich get richer and move their jobs away. Voting for trump was a vote for hope (similar to what Obama promised) and a vote for changing the status quo
"PC has taken over"
Do you actually mean "white people are now expected to treat women & ethnic minorities as human beings"? How shocking.
*Trump's first day at the Oval Office after being elected President.*
First briefing by the CIA, Pentagon, FBI:
Trump: We must destroy ISIS immediately. No delays.
CIA: We cannot do that, sir. We created them along with Turkey, Saudi, Qatar and others.
Trump: The Democrats created them.
CIA: We created ISIS, sir. You need them or else you would lose funding from the natural gas lobby.
Trump: Stop funding Pakistan. Let India deal with them.
CIA: We can't do that.
Trump: Why is that?
CIA: India will cut Balochistan out of Pak.
Trump: I don't care.
CIA: India will have peace in Kashmir. They will stop buying our weapons. They will become a superpower. We have to fund Pakistan to keep India busy in Kashmir.
Trump: But you have to destroy the Taliban.
CIA: Sir, we can't do that. We created the Taliban to keep Russia in check during the 80s. Now they are keeping Pakistan busy and away from their nukes.
Trump: We have to destroy terror sponsoring regimes in the Middle East. Let us start with the Saudis.
Pentagon: Sir, we can't do that. We created those regimes because we wanted their oil. We can't have democracy there, otherwise their people will get that oil - and we cannot let their people own it.
Trump: Then, let us invade Iran.
Pentagon: We cannot do that either, sir.
Trump: Why not?
CIA: We are talking to them, sir.
Trump: What? Why?
CIA: We want our Stealth Drones back. If we attack them, Russia will obliterate us as they did to our buddy ISIS in Syria. Besides we need Iran to keep Israel in check.
Trump: Then let us invade Iraq again.
CIA: Sir, our friends (ISIS) are already occupying 1/3rd of Iraq.
Trump: Why not the whole of Iraq?
CIA: We need the Shi'ite govt of Iraq to keep ISIS in check.
Trump: I am banning Muslims from entering US.
FBI: We can't do that.
Trump: Why not?
FBI: Then our own population will become fearless.
Trump: I am deporting all illegal immigrants to south of the border.
Border patrol: You can't do that, sir.
Trump: Why not?
Border patrol: If they're gone, who will build the wall?
Trump: I am banning H1B visas.
USCIS: You cannot do that.
Trump: Why?
Chief of Staff: If you do so, we'll have to outsource White House operations to Bangalore. Which is in India.
Trump (sweating profusely by now): What the hell should I do as President???
CIA: Enjoy the White House, sir! We will take care of the rest!
You know how Donald Trump will rid murica of illegal immigrants ?

I get the feeling come Feb it wont be last of the Obama's. Michelle Obama strikes me as someone who could stroll through an election and into the Oval office. Wonder once his career is finished, if she'll take her turn and run for office.
Milk's already said she has no interest in running but I agree with you that she would be popular. Oprah's been asked many times and there is someone who would be popular, she too has no interest. One thing's for certain, Hillary has shattered the glass ceiling.I get the feeling come Feb it wont be last of the Obama's.

Bet we have to sell our souls for it though.Positive noises from Trump about trade with the U.K. and has invited May to visit him as soon as possible. He's said the UK is a very, very special place for him and his country and he wants to strengthen trade and the special relationship between the two countries.

Told you all he has British heritage and a silver lining could be the way we are treated post brexit to how we might have been otherwise. No back of the queue for us under Trump.
He'll demand we make Trumpton the new capital with Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub running the nation.

That's fine. They'd probably do a better job than Teresa May, Boris Johnson, David Davis & Liam Fox.He'll demand we make Trumpton the new capital with Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub running the nation.
