Looks to me like after this and Brexit both going very much against the establishment that western politics needs to take a long hard look at itself and get more in touch with the general public. You could also add the illegal immigrant crisis to this.

winning has its downside. How is he going to deliver on his promises?
Like brexit, Trump made promises that are very difficult to deliver, some of them are even contradictory.
If anything, Trump will accelerate the rise of China as #1 economic power.

Clinton lost the election but won the popular vote and made a gracious speech, just half an hour ago.
I wonder what would happen if the situation were reversed, would Trump have accepted the result or claimed that the the election was rigged and the institutions corrupt?
I also watched the president of Liberia on the BBC. She put it in simple words what the she fears for the future.

It's a sad, sad day.

Will he allow immigrants?
White, racist and heavily armed ones are OK. They are short on those apparently. If you failed high school you have the talents they are looking for.

I suppose that is the effect of voting in constituencies.
Rather like the SNP/UKIP figures in the UK
