For many working class white Americans - disenfranchisement from the Washington elite. They're willing to elect a toupeed megalomaniac in order to register their dissent with the status quo.

i dont understand why so many people hate him, yet the majority voted for him? I dont understand that

He has groped women, insulted women for not being good enough to sexually attract, he treats women nothing more than sex objects, he has had 12 cases of sexual assault filed against him, has a pending rape trial, wants to get rid of muslims, wants to torture the LGBTQ+ community, is racist, women are scared to wear hijabs seeing thats he's won. Now the question is whats right with him?

It's just that lefties like to moan and cry a lot more when things don't go their way.

Same with Brexit.

Yeah, cause if the result had been the other way round, Trump's fanatical and nationalist gun-loving supporters who wanted Clinton in jail would have totally accepted it and had no problem with it wouldn't they :rolleyes:

The stakes are high for a lot of people and whichever way it goes, the losers are going to be unhappy, it's got nothing to do with whether you're a 'leftie' or a 'rightie', tbh I think the backlash would have been far worse and possibly more violent had Clinton won.

People vote for him as a joke because they think its funny. Well it wont be funny whens hes in the white house. Most male americans think the same way - its okay to treat women as sex objects, be racist, rape, be homophobic. America is ****ed up and I hope Britain never follows america.

Poorer Americans aren't happy with the way the current government seems to constantly ignore and beat them down, so they've voted for a maniac with one giant middle finger.
