President Elect's 'top team'

[Croolis]

Some of those picks get blocked, maybe some of the folks who voted Trump might get a sudden realisation that they did a wrong 'un (obviously I don't mean his base). Like Brexit regret.

Well it all kicks off in January, so we'll see what happens when it does.

I predict that we wont see the major cracks appearing for at least 2 years in the US economy, to the point Trump and his cabinet of(insert expletive) will be blaming all and sundry - Biden, the federal government, traitors in industry, things we've all heard before.
By year three the only chance Trump will have to keep anything other than the most fervent support is to engage in a full blown culture war, as they make the best scapegoats, and by year 4 even the right wing media, possibly under the weight of public pressure,and the fact they can no longer hide the created problems, and will start to show Trump in a negative light, then push for a new government, republican of course, but they'll want shot of him.

Of course the right wing media will accept no blame for their sycophant nature during the early years, and for the stories and lies they pushed to help make him president in the first place.

One thing I am looking forward to is the fact that just about anyone who has supported Trump has ended up in civil cases, bankrupt or in prison, and I for one really want to see Musk get it in the neck. He's been a blight on the web for too long.

Oh and farage. Though he's as slippery as a freshwater eel.

What's not to like about Farage? He helped to give the country what they wanted, right?

@Jacob I agree with most of what you say, I personally think that politics in both the USA and the UK has become far too polarised

Not polarised enough. The i diot voices screeching against socialism are too loud - Democrats and Labour both too timid and have to explain their policies as being something else, until the whole point of their existence is lost.

with both sides losing / lost credibility in the eyes of the electorate. Like the UK, the USA was faced with voting for the terrible or the awful. Not a lot to chose between them, and again like the UK I suspect Trumps ratings will mirror Stammer and be near rock bottom after the first 100 days.

He hasn't given them anything and it's unlikely he ever will.

it has very little of anything to do with women’s rights in the broadest sense. On the important stuff like equal opportunity, education, pay, promotion, voting etc

So a woman's right to decide what's best for her, at any particular time, isn't included in "the important stuff"
