Well it looks like that the disgraceful TPPA deal is dead. Good riddance!!!!
He hasn't even been sworn in, yet already Donald has done something excellent!
At least there's one positive of him winning the vote

Re: US Election.
Well that's a 'courageous' choice. Donald Trump has made excellent use of post-factual democracy and economic dislocation to sway voters with a very simple narrative about the benefits of economic isolationism. He had many disadvantages being far less qualified than his opponent, his less than appealing views of women, immigrants etc. and not benefiting from the endorsement of established political players. It'll be interesting to see what happens but a country usually gets the leadership it deserves, for better or worse.

Re: US Election.
Looks like Clinton won the popular vote. Like Bush and Gore.
