Given that the race was pretty close, I wonder if we have Peter Thiel to thank for this result. Personally, I have a feeling that Trump would lose without Thiel's support.
Though I fully agree with you -- We need a change (which change? I'm not sure!). Hilary Clinton definitely couldn't provide any positive change; also doubt Donald Trump can, thus I apathetically voted for a different candidate than either Clinton or Trump. Yet, I fully stand behind President Trump (feels weird to say that, eh.. I know..) as our president, with our country balanced in unity. I hope for the best with his leadership of the next four years!
So here we are taking sharp 90 degree turn at the fork. We would rather have a clown in the white house (with mysterious bag of tricks) than continuing with the current policies.
