2016: Trump won't win it, will he?

2017: President Trump can't do that, can he?

2018: You watching Hunger Games tonight? Hope my district wins.

I look forward to seeing the mouthy 'celebrities' emigrating from the U.S.

So how does this all affect us?
Trump wants to tarrif chinese imports. One in three of our export ships go to china - flow on effect?
Is our free trade agreement with the US now useless?
With the overtures about Nato, is the Anzus treaty going to end/change? Can we defend ourselves?

If China loses its biggest customer of its wares, its economy implodes. China implodes, we go with it as they are the biggest buyer of our dirt, the biggest investor in the property bubble, sorry market and the biggest consumer of our education services.

Exactly. And that's why China won't do anything too drastic about Donald Trumps policies, whether China likes it or not, they are the USA's little "b**ch for the time being, China is trying to extend it's influence militarily-wise by building military installations on atolls in the South China sea to try and have a bigger say in world affairs and especially trade in that region where more than 50% of all worldwide trade takes place. In saying that though China over the next decade is going to be a military force to reckon with not withstanding how strong they already are now. Obama has pretty much let China be a law upon itself in that region.

There maybe a trade war between the two countries though, this is not a good thing if you are a US exporter, but China will want to avoid this at all costs.

sixman · 09-11-2016, 11:26 PM

Yeah, 20% of chinese of chinese exports go to USA.
New 45% tarrif... the maths dont stack up for us

Defence is the other concern. For the past 50 years no one has threatened us because of big brother...

sixman · 09-11-2016, 11:32 PM

Lets see what happens, but he has promised to make other countries "pay" for defence agreements that dont benefit the USA.
Maybe to maintain Anzus we will have to invest in more "joint strke fighter" type prjects with American big business

Hillary Clinton couldn't even concede defeat, she just ditched her supporters who were in tears, turned her back and left them and people want her as the 'leader of the free world'?

Speaks volumes about her 'character'.

I thought the same thing! Couldn't believe it! Her supporters stayed at her rally event past 2am US time only to have a Democrat spokesman come out and give a 2 minute rambling speech, if I were in that audience I would feel betrayed, especially if you were one of the volunteers that put up their own time to campaign for Hilary Clinton because they believed in her and her policies.

nstg8a · 09-11-2016, 11:50 PM

She's like a 100 years old, way past her bedtime.

I guess her double must have had the night off...

ford man xf · 09-11-2016, 11:51 PM

I don't know why, but I feel sorry for Hilary Clinton, I truly have empathy for her, she just took the wrong path for presidency, she thought that by using and manipulating minorities, listening to the the elites and their globalist ideals and continuing on another "Obama" term that she would have a clear path to victory, because that's pretty much what Americans were voting for; another Obama term but with Hilary at the helm, it was the same policies, the same policies that clearly a lot of Americans were fed up with.

Syndrome · 09-11-2016, 11:54 PM

My prediction is Bill and Hillary will separate because now her political career is over she no longer needs to continue with the sham marriage.

Maybe, but it will come up again rapidly.

The Australian market was down over a 100 points today ! Silly !

What Australian listed company has any reduced earnings because of the US election ?

Share market, does not take much to frighten it.

Our real estate will be the same price at next Saturdays auctions !

Wow. A couple of things in my head.

1. This will test democracy, will be interesting to see how the system bends him. Sure he will flap his trap but I am tipping he will do a Turnbul. If it was a dictatorship then my feelings would be the opposite.

2. I find it depressing how our financial markets are so fragile. The guy is not elected and potentially billions are written down...wtf. I find that rather pathetic to be honest.

On point 2, it just goes to show that the markets are nothing but confidence games.

They are driven on greed and fear.

Trump being elected was our Brexit outrage vote. The elites have been running the US into the ground for decades .

The establishment of the democratic and republican parties are rotten to the core and I voted for Trump because I'm fed up and want to see both parties burned to the ground.

Another thing , the media has been on the side of the Clinton campaign from day one , the polls they have been showing for months have been rigged to show her leading because they have been acting as the PR arm of the campaign instead of journalists.

I live in a state , Massachusetts , which votes democrat in every election and did that again last night but driving around this democrat leaning area there has been no visible support for Clinton. No signs on any lawns and there were Obama signs everywhere in the last 2 elections.

She is disliked for her corruption, her moral ambiguity, and for sucking up to the rich .

Americans are tired of perpetual war in the middle east and she talked about setting up a no fly zone in Syria like it was a good idea. Any idiot can see that if we shot down a Russian plane over Syria we would be careening towards a potential WW3 . Russia has nukes and they are weaker than the US so if they felt that there was danger of the US attacking they may have felt the need to launch first.

The idea that the world could be destroyed over regime change in Syria is insane.

You're forgetting one thing: the elites are still running the US into the ground. I've mentioned it before and I'll mention it again, if Trump carries out his plans and ideas, he'll have a clip of 50 cal rounds with his name on it.

The military industrial complex Eisenhower warned the world about 50 odd years ago is so deeply entrenched within the power structures of the US, they would kill anyone that threatened their hegemony. Worse still is should he perish the thought, want real financial reform, he'd be in the sights of the banking elite.
