I'm glad the election is over, it was truly nasty. Trump will be my president as of next January 20th. I refuse to be like the people who, for 8 years, refused to acknowledge our twice-elected Obama as their president.

A lot of people are gloating, a lot of people are pointing fingers of blame; I refuse to do either. Several times here I have acknowledged the possibility that Trump could win, and so it is no surprise to me that he has. I don't blame Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Gary Johnson, or James Comey, nor do I especially blame the American voters. The truth is that Donald Trump is a great salesman, with a hypnotic voice and a talent for telling people what they want to hear, while appearing totally sincere in his convictions. Perhaps he is, but I am a skeptical old dog, and I'll wait to see what master does, Trump's past dealings seem not to have been for any benefit other than to himself, I'll say that, so let's see whether he builds that wall (and makes Mexico pay).
