He's a complete random element. I literally have no idea what he's going to do. ...maybe that's a good thing? Everything that was "reliable" in the past let us down.



I was ok with Trump winning and the random element is why. I wasn't really behind Trump, but I wasn't behind Hillary either.

I just think atleast Trump has a chance to do something different, Hillary wouldn't have.


I was entirely behind trump because of the random element.

I don't see him as old-school republican, and he's obviously not a democrat either. He's clearly his own man and I think the next 8 years are gonna be amazing.


Its really cool to see people say this hear without the immense backlash im used to bassically everywhere else on the internet. Its not what i expected at all.


With the people he's chosen so far to take on positions within the cabinet and various agencies, I have a really bad feeling about what's coming.

Wonder how all those people who believed him when he said he was going to "drain the swamp" feel now...


Perhaps Trump is unpredictable... but the people he's choosing for his administration are not.


I feel that poor people in the countryside figured out that no establishment candidate will really change anything like corruption or most policies for that matter. Only the faces and promises change. I wonder if and when the poor and middle class in urban areas will realize the same thing. Of course the danger is always that 'change' isn't always a good thing.


Exactly this. I have no doubt that Trump and the Republican controlled legislature (and soon judiciary) will bring significant changes to how our country operates. I have very strong doubts that these changes will be net beneficial to the lower and middle classes in this country.


Why do you doubt this?


He/She doubts it because they're on the Trump Hate train, or is it the "dumb rural americans" train, I always forget.
