1428524 2016-11-09 18:09:00 There was a comment in the Listener article by a german. He said Germany isn't any smarter than any other country with elections, they're just more careful due to their history.

Have to say I was rather amazed about the news bit that said loads of latinos voted for Trump. Bit like the jews voting for You Know Who.

Anyway, someone will shoot him, or he'll do something dumb and be kicked out.

As my colleague said yesterday, we may get to see an assassination in HD.

When there is a President, in the past ( and now) its always been Male. So his wife is called the First Lady.

Had Hillary won, does that mean Bill Clinton would have now been called the First man ?

Well, he was and is a politician, so this would have to be a fairly elastic definition of gentleman.
If Trump confounds expectations and ups his game to mediocre, he will probably at best be a dog of a President, so the title of his current wife is predetermined. ;)

1428531 2016-11-09 20:24:00 Bill's title is, and would have remained Ex-President Clinton. Richard (739)
1428532 2016-11-09 20:53:00 Well President Trump is going to fix Global Warming so that should please some. :D B.M. (505)
1428533 2016-11-09 21:36:00 From what I've seen many Brexit people welcome Trump as he has promised closer ties with UK and a trade agreement ahead of the EU. The EU is mess and Trump may be what is needed.

Here is just one quote from a UK site I visit daily:

"Trump won!


Brilliant news! :thumbs:


As Nigel Farage said -
Mr Trump's presidency would be good for Britain, 'There'll be a friend in the White House – someone who likes this country. :thumbs::thumbs:


And Donald Trump is a Brexit supporter too. :thumbs:"
