Regards the "they're all crooks/liers" line. I thought Trump was supposed to be better? Wasn't that a major reason for his election, that he wasn't like them?

Mainstream media still in shock...pulling all these old quotes and all while their credibility in pieces. Ha-ha.

Utter Cad.
Admit it, you know in your guts that he's a sexual predator. Too many women have spoken out (not least, the erstwhile Mrs Trump), and they're undoubtedly the tip of the iceberg, since that is the nature of these things.
If you're happy to acknowledge the small percentage of non-white Americans who voted for him, why don't you acknowledge the huge concerns of those many non-whites who voted against him and whose lives changed the day he was elected?
This comment is either SO disingenuous or SO misguided that it's hard to know where to start. Let's have a re-cap, though: The American economy was in melt-down when Obama took over from his Republican predecessor. Obama drew widespread praise at the time for the way he steadied the ship in spite of hugely obstructive (some would say racist, even) opposition from the Republicans in Congress. As for the "racial mess" - you seem to be suggesting that it is somehow Obama's fault and not those who are being given a free-reign by the Trump apologists. Interesting, if disturbing.
Um, no, I guess not. Well spotted. But again, are you blaming Obama for Putin and Kim Jong-Un? Pass me some of that stuff you're smoking, will you.
Well, you got me there. I'm a longtime critic of American foreign policy, especially in the Middle East but I have to admire the way you've airbrushed Dubya's "War on Terror" out of your flinty-eyed assessment.
I'll let others be the judge of that.

Amazing. Hinting that Obama is to blame for the US being a 'mess' racially and suggesting it's problematic that he doesn't get on with North Korea.
I do like the way you say Middle East is in turmoil due to Obama/Clintons. It's almost like your purposefully ignored the one before...

All sarcasm and point scoring aside, do you think America is in good condition regarding Crime, drugs, shootings, racial attacks, economy infrastructure, Jobs, safe from terrorists?
If you agree with the issues above, who's to blame for this?? Surely the policies drawn up by past and present presidents are to blame?

The main thing that I'll take from this election is a sense of sorrow that the people of the United States had to make a choice between two deeply flawed individuals, neither of whom seemed fit for office.
Hopefully Trump turns out better than expected.

Paying off his law suits, going back on pledges he made to get votes ! Does anybody else think the "establishment" is starting to knock Donald Trump into shape.
Then you look at the people he is gathering around him, he brings his daughter to his meeting with the Japanese leader, you think, maybe not.
It will be very interesting to see who Donald Trump is by the time he is sworn in.

Crime and drug use have been falling across multiple presidencies since about the mid/late 90s. Mass shootings have generally been "level" save for three recent outliers (since 2007) that brings the average fatalities up: 2007--Virginia Tech; 2012--Sandyhook Elementary; 2016--Orlando Nightclub. Two of these occurred during Obama's presidency, one during Bush's, but in all cases the weapons were obtained legally (though Lanza technically "stole" the guns from his mother), and in all cases it was the Democrats, not Republicans who have been trying to make legally-obtained guns more restrictive, including things like high-capacity magazines (used in the Orlando shootings) or Assault rifles (used at Sandyhook).
Infrastructure has been declining steadily, but it is not clear how this correlates with presidency, since infrastructural funding decisions are a combination of state and federal funding, the latter being tied to congressional approval. For example, the US Public and many elected officials (both Democrats and Republicans) do not support an increase in gas tax, of which a portion goes into the Federal Highway Trust Fund to rebuild/maintain bridges/roads. In fact both McCain and Hilary Clinton actually supported an idea of getting rid of the gasoline tax during summer months (providing tax relief to drivers during the summer) while Obama was opposed to getting rid of this tax.

As bad as he is, I can't see him going down as America's worst ever President. JFK's successor Lyndon B Johnson entrenched the US military in Vietnam and Bush Jr. invaded Iraq.
Nothing can be worse than those two foreign policy debacles.
