All my friends here over the over side of the Pond - where we didn't even get to vote - are all besides themselves that Trump won and can't understand it at all so woefully uneducated are they about the true state of affairs of US politics. I am alarmed at the depths of division in this country - the woke agenda relied on by the left for their vote serves only to divide. They have been willing to destroy democracy to prevent this Trump win even assassinate him - so I think they are scared of something.
Can a 2nd Trump presidency be any different? Maybe, now he has a clear mandate and legally passing legislation should be much easier. It's looking good for crypto. I've always thought a Trump victory would allow the US an off ramp in this Ukraine war that they are losing so badly.
Much depends on the people around him. RFK Jr yes good. However, far too many war hawks making me think there will be no peace in the Middle East.
Meantime there will be extra stimulus/spending with an emphasis on keeping the dollar cheap. I forsee inflation for countries like mine - following eventually for a wave of inflation hitting the US.
Much of this is the same old same old by now. We need to appreciate these are selections not elections. Whose going to be best for the markets?
the markets have been responding like I have never seen before. Someone out there really thinks that Trump is good for crypto or perhaps just markets in general. I'm not in shock that he won. When the media was pushing stats about how Harris was winning in places like Iowa, I knew that they were lying and spewing just anything they could to reassure people.
I hope things can be good, but I have no good reason to think that they will be. Here, in North Carolina in the basically untouchable field of construction management, my livelihood would have been fine if we had elected a box of radishes for president.
