It's Official: Trump is the 45th President of the United States of America
With Hawaii still to vote, Trump had 304 votes and Clinton had 224. It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency. Texas put Trump over the top, despite two Republican electors casting protest votes.This is from ABC News, just published right now.
For all of those who voted and supported Trump like myself, we can finally put this election to rest and move on.
For the losers, better luck next time. But definitely not a chance for Hillary Clinton as her loss is historic in the history of the United States and perhaps the world being the first woman to run twice for the same position and lost.

I have not studied the histories of elections in my country alone, but I remember most of the public outcry of the media, this was with epic proportions in theatrical value.
Sounds excellent for Mr. Trump and for America.
I just wish that it is just as simple as we cast our ballots, it is counted and voila, done. But not here,
By the way Nigel Farage is leaning towards the viability of a very good relationship between my country and yours, that is a far cry from the initial claim of banning Trump to come to UK. What prompted the change of direction, Scotty, do you know?
to change the reality of the situation. Burn down your
town, bust up police cars, rob the liquor stores, and
torch political figures in effigy. The elected is the elected.
That's the way we roll. Just pray we roll in the right direction. Right now we're wallowing in a Sh't pile of
political, theological, and philosophical pee party. Perhaps
we'll destroy ourselves and the ants will eventually rule
the world. Cool! I've always wanted to date the queen
ant!

Now all we have to do is trust that what we voted him for based on his platform would be materialized. I will definitely make him accountable for all the promises he made and I think we have a great headway.
I just hope he would at least do half of what was promised and that is alright with me.
The mechanics of our political system is such that all the branches of the government would work together to have a unity in making any policy foreign and or domestic.
I gotta admit, The Don is bringing folks around.
Prior to the election, polls indicated 2/3 of people 'disliked' or 'hated' both(!) him & Hillary.
Recent polls indicate nearly half are looking forward to his Presidency with optimism, while a mere 1/3 of Murkuns regard it with 'fear' or 'dread'.
Take away...Only about half of those who previously disliked or hated him now fear or dread his Presidency!
He IS seriously considering former Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen to head up the VA.
I'll certainly score him points for that.
Thanks Non. Much love to you, too.
We just now have to wait Mic.
If given the chance, I think Trump will do a good job! He has surrounded himself with some very successful people! Definitely a step in the right direction!
Since then, so the assertion goes, all have been owned by special interests.
It's further claimed that each newly inaugurated Prez is allowed to bask in the glory of Inauguration Day festivities.
Then, on his first day on the job, the new Prez is taken to the White House screening room. It is then explained to him who REALLY runs the U.S.
Should he not immediately grasp the point, he is shown a loop of the Zapbruder Film until he does.
So the assertion goes.
Who cares at this time? He's done the damage and going away.
I'm very sure this is one president that has caused us so much harm on our foreign and domestic policies but he's going awaaaaaaay.
I'm so happy my friend.
Being born outside the U.S. wouldn't have disqualified him from being Prez.
If it can be shown he was not a U.S. citizen at birth (i.e. his mother wasn't a U.S. citizen) that would raise qualification issues.
I'm unaware of any such claim.
If it can be legally proved the document was forged/faked, and legally proved that Obama is responsible, that may raise questions of the legality of his actions, not his qualifications to be Prez.
And what's Congress supposed to do about the the 'investigation' that claims to have discovered an allegedly forged/faked document?
Commence impeachment proceedings for producing a fake birth certificate?
Even if any of this could be determined...legally determined as in a court of law...what, if anything, would or could be done during his remaining four weeks as Prez?
Huge? No. It's a tempest in a teapot.
If proven true?
What will happen with every document he has signed?
What will happen with every executive order he has installed?
I see a mess.
Congress gets the report of the investigation.
They look at it on January 8.
And then they DO...what?!
Seriously.
What the hell are they to do in the final twelve days before Obama leaves office? Pass a joint resolution condemning telling a fib?
That even assumes that the document can be legally(!) determined to be forged/faked.
There appears to be an assumption among some that evidence of an allegedly forged/faked birth certificate presented to Congress will somehow nullify everything Obama has done in the past.
I cannot see it happening.
Your mileage may vary.
I would also like to state, that Trump says he will cut it off?? Stating that he does not want the distraction.
Will that happen?? I have no idea.
But when one looks at the whole picture.
We will be providing compensation to Obama for the rest of his days.
All of our men who have died under the watch of a president, if proved, will have died in vain.
All of the people who have died, should be considered murdered.
So, will it be determined? I do not know what will be determined. I have no idea how it is going to be handled?
BUT! If it is true, that the certificate is a forgery, I want to know.
I am tired of the spins and lies.
