OK then, I'll go first: he's an insane rightwing misogynist orange-faced asshole who will destroy civilisation as we know it

These claims about democratic decisions..

I think you'll find that around 200,000 more people voted for Clinton than for Trump. http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-election-af...

Just another shite electoral system.

But it's not a game is it? It's deadly serious.

It isn't a democratic system. It's like his tax returns, he played the system to get what he wants.

Both the U.K. and U.S.A. continually sound off about being democratic. Neither are. I can't respect politicians who use and will continue to use a rigged system to come to power.

I don't think he was using it in the childish sense of the word. Game of Thrones is pretty deadly...

Ditto. I'd have chucked in "odious" somewhere for good measure

Only Marie la Penn, the German and Dutch far right - next year. Throw all that in with brexiteers and Trump and we have a full set!
Welcome to ?.? Well, what???
Global Protectionism and trade wars I guess

Ditto your thoughts on Le Penn. I genuinely think she's a runner for president. 2016 feels like the year fascism became the new average.

There's also the nasty prospect next month of the far right winning in Italy and Austria on the back of Trump's victory.

Don't count your chickens.. That may be the line the (right wing) British media puts out and wants you to believe. But look how they've connived and lied before and after the brexit referendum.

The UK is still in the Phoney Brexit stage.. The stage managed visit of TM to India was also just a propaganda move.. She can't make deals, doesn't want to really, either.. But pretending all is well and that she has a clue. What a shite unelected PM you now have. Not even voted in by her own party. A farce.

Austria has always been very right wing - right back to Adolf's days. You've all been watching far too much Sound of Music. And believing this myth that they were victims of the nazis. Nazism had it's roots in Vienna. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Lueger
