I think we'll see trump transition now into something more ''presidential''. I think he's very clever and took on the persona he did because he knew there were voters he could tap into who were sick of politicians. From what I've seen and read trump voting Americans seemed to understand this. One guy interviewed had never voted before...in his life. He said he would probably get down to vote for trump, his reason? He needed to put food on the table. He needed to feed his family and he believed trump would give a better chance of an improvement in his circumstances than Clinton.
Anyway, some are speculating trump winning over clinton will work out better for us in light of brexit, every cloud eh?
There is little doubt that he will become "more presidential", after all, after the way that he behaved during the campaign, it would be impossible to be less so.
However, that just doesn't excuse some of the stuff that he said, which, was "over the line", especially for a person wanting the highest political position in the world.
He wasn't a bloke down the pub, who had had a bit to drink, he was, campaigning for the top job.
For all of our sake's, we have to hope that those around him will exert some control and act as the voice of reason.
As for improving "our" position after Brexit, we still have to see whether our own parliament goes through with it.
As the months have passed since the referendum, fewer and fewer MP's seem willing to go through with it.
The political landscape is changing and not necessarily for the better, the days of politicians having ideals and principles is long gone, which is a crying shame.
