Just figured I'd post to show just how redundant the system is Sal

If I was American I'd have voted for Trump. I went to sleep thinking I'd wake up to see a Clinton presidency, but when I woke up at 5am and checked the news the headline was "Trump takes commanding lead over Clinton" and at that point I couldn't contain my smugness that a Brexit + + + bombshell had indeed occurred and I would get to enjoy more liberal tears just like on the 23rd June.

Also a Trump win makes perfect sense, there are many many white middle and working class people that have been left behind by the system and ignore by the democrat party for too long and this is how they finally got their voices heard. It's for that exact reason that Brexit won too and I suspect we'll see further political upsets in Europe over the coming years as other nations people voice their dissatisfaction for the rotten state of things. Makes me so excited to know that I'm going to get to enjoy the rise of the far right throughout Europe.

I don't see why all these other countries are worried about Trump's foreign policy. People bitch about us being interventionist then when someone comes along who believes in isolationism they bitch again. It's nonsensical and its the epitome of, "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." I'll just never understand it.

I hear you. I didn't mean Trump specifically. I probably should have explained that what I said extends to any country/President and their allies. I don't always agree with the man but I'm not seriously concerned. I can't say much about your President when I've got a pompous asshole like Malcolm Turnbull in my corner.
