Probably the worst thing about the election result is MSC’s self perceived empowerment. It’s going to be a long 4 years.

And Vance will be Prez when he’s gone?
How long to wait, I wonder.

God will be sacked, first time he disagrees with him.

According to Yale historian Timothy Snyder, last time around, in his first 298 days in office, the short-fingered vulgarian made 1,628 false or misleading claims (plus 24 more in an early interview that only lasted 30 minutes).
Wonder if he'll beat that record in his second term?
For the philosopher Harry Frankfurt, though, Trump is more of a bullshitter than a liar:
The problem is that Trump knows he is bullshitting and does it on purpose. As he admits in The Art of the Deal, for him it is 'truthful hyperbole', what he calls 'an innocent form of exaggeration - and a very effective form of promotion.'
For Shawn Hamilton, the bollocks and shit that Trump habitually geysers deserves a different label, one that in hip-hop parlance, is known as 'fuckery'.

Whatever.
One thing that we can be sure of is that we can expect a lot more to be added to his burgeoning catalogue of chaos over the next four years.

The Birth Of F**kery: How To Think About Donald Trump's Lies
None of our language seems to capture the president-elect's ability to assemble a collection of falsehoods into a grandiose whole. But there is, in fact, a word for it. We need Nietzsche and hip-hop to help get us there.
Whatever.

How anyone who calls themselves a 'Christian' could vote for Trump eludes me. He is everything Jesus preached against. It's like a Communist voting for Thatcher.
But millions of 'Christians' did. In the USA, I think abortion was a factor. It's a much hotter topic there than it is in the UK. I have read stuff to that effect and it makes a sort of sense. The same sort of sense choosing Barabbas above Jesus must have done at the time.
