So that's the purpose of having a democracy. You get to say who 
runs the show ;-)

If (majority) people wanted Trump running the show, then that's 
what they got.

Although, as i understand it, Trump did not get the majority 
'popular vote'..so that's encouraging ;-)

In any case, it was close. So that's a good sign.

But I think the real problem was that the U.S became to passive 
about protecting it's own interests under Obama...perhaps in the 
name of international order and peace.

But I think that policy failed, and that's why Trump managed to 
appeal to people. Trump is very assertive, and although he goes 
over the top, i think the people in the U.S really want a 
president who is assertive.

That's just my guess anyway. What would I know ;-)

But one thing if for sure, the next president that gets elected 
needs to assert U.S power. Anything less, and the world will be 
in trouble soon enough.

The U.N has become a joke.
The W.T.A has become a joke.
That's a bad sign for global security.
And so, countries are naturally looking more inwards now, to 
protect their interests.

I cannot say whether I trust or don't trust Mark Zuckerberg, but 
his Harvard commencement speech this year was really, really 
inspiring. Assuming you can take him at his word, he could make a 
great U.S president .. perhaps. I don't see anyone in politics, 
in the U.S or any other country for that matter, with a vision 
like the one Zuckerberg provides in his speech. The current 
generation of politicians is the problem I believe. In a 
democracy, the people already have the power to change that, 
peacefully... just need the right person to step up, with a 
vision the country can get behind *in a united way*.
