When Donald Trump was elected President in a shocking election result, it marked the end of the establishment. The American people spoke volumes when they elected the first non-Politican to the Presidency, and Trump's message of Draining the Swamp was always met with great applause from people at his rallies. Americans want a change from the usual status quo, and they have had enough of all the lobbyists and career politicans, who make promises but never deliver once they get into office. I just hope Trump will make actual change, and fulfill his campaign promises.

Well, actually the popular vote went to Hillary Clinton, aka she got more votes from the general public. You could argue the system is broken if it can be gamed in this way. It is also dangerous to see that their is now no real opposition as the Republicans own the Senate and Congress. Obama has held great respect around the world and kept things stable in his previous 8 years so I don't understand all the hype.

Trump has trampled plenty of people to make his riches and it will not surprise me to see him continue this tactic when he becomes president. It is not necessarily a good thing to have zero political experience because the whole job involves delicate diplomacy and strategy.
