There has been much anguish and hysterical crying and hand-wringing from Hillary Clinton supporters since Donald Trump’s surprise upset victory last week.
Anti-Trump protests have also flared up in certain parts of the US.
Since last Tuesday’s presidential elections, journalists and all sorts of experts have also been making predictions, some dire, some optimistic, about what a Trump presidency may look like, and what would change.
It was interesting to read these analyses a few days after the election, but by week two I personally am tired of them. They don’t really tell us anything.
All sorts of rosy predictions were also made right after Obama won, and how did he work out? What happened to his promises?
That’s why it isn’t worth it to engage in any crystal ball-gazing right now.
Yes, I’m very glad that the psychopathic, lying, corrupt and fake Hillary Clinton lost. She’s remained deeply unpopular throughout the whole presidential race. Why anyone would want to support a shady candidate with such a troubled history in public service is beyond me.
But it’s way too early to be jubilant about Trump. And if there is just one thing that we should’ve all learned from the presidential election of 2016 is that predictions are bullshit.
People just need to keep quiet, and observe. Don’t be sure of anything, yet.
I didn’t vote in the election. I’ve observed eight presidential campaigns until now-from George H.W. Bush in 1988 to Donald J. Trump in 2016. And if there’s one constant that I’ve also noticed is that each president is worse than the last.
For all the noise and excitement, I just cannot bring myself to vote for Democrats and Republicans because these two parties have done profound damage to the country and the world with their bad decisions and judgment.
I personally don’t have much faith and trust in Trump. No one knows what he’s really going to do after he’s sworn in.
He talked a good talk, but there are a few worrying signs that he may not deliver.
There are rumors/stories that Trump is considering John Bolton as his Secretary of State. This is the most powerful diplomatic position in the US government.
For those of you who don’t know, John Bolton is a neo-con nutcase and ideologue. He’s one of the chief architects of the illegal and criminal Iraq war. He’s unrepentantly antagonistic toward Iran, Russia, China, and every country that doesn’t want to do what the US wants. A freak like this in control of the US State Dept. portents a very bad omen for US foreign policy.
We shouldn’t be at all surprised if more wars and conflicts pop up, should this Bush-era criminal degenerate be selected for any post.
James Woolsey is another unsavory figure. He’s also a hold-over from the Bush-era. This man is dirty and has many skeletons in his closet. Torture, regime change, destabilization, he’s done it all.
This is precisely why I didn’t vote. I fear that my vote will put evil people in positions of power, and that these people will make a bloody mess worldwide. I certainly don’t want any of their horrible decisions on my conscience.
So for now, I shall not make any predictions about what a Trump presidency will look like. It is too early to speculate about it, and therefore a waste of time. After all, actions speak louder than words.
When Trump starts announcing his cabinet appointments, then we shall see what he’s planning, and will have more credible information to go on.
For now, Trump is a big question mark.
But if he starts picking unstable neo-con demagogues, Bush-era hold-overs, and big bank vermin to top cabinet posts, then instead of ‘draining the swamp,’ he’ll be making the swamp much more fetid, and much more bloody.
