Telegraph playing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the stones as Trump exits after victory speech.

Let's hope he really is a liar and reverses many of his campaign positions.

- Special prosecutor to go after Hillary
- Muslim ban
- Tear up free trade agreements
- Lower taxes on the rich (explode the deficit)
- Appoints a pro-life Supreme Court Justice
- Repealing Obamacare
- and on and on.

To quote Queens of the Stone Age...no one knows. We're entering a period of unknowns we've really never seen in years. Just no idea where it'll go. Markets will tank and will be on edge until we start seeing policies proposals. Foreign affairs will be a lot different with Trump coming in. The cabinet will obviously be a big factor in what people think a Trump Presidency will be.

Amazed he didn't end his speech with:

"Hillary...you're fired!"

He didn't talk about 'Building a Wall' in his acceptance speech. This worries me.

Finishes the dirtiest campaign with a gracious and decently metered speech full of the typical platitudes with nothing sticky at all to work with.

Trump is the scariest man alive at this point.

If he kicks all the illegals out he won't have anyone to build his wall.

I sincerely wish him well and America well. Not sure what the Dems are going to do to recover.

Still in disbelief about everything.

Do you think he's just going to invade Canada and take out resources as he sees fit?

Despite him showing he's unaware of international law, other parts of government are so probably not.

The chorus does end with "If you try sometimes well you just might find you get what you need."

I was fine with Clinton not conceding right away with a tight couple of races. However, her sending out her campaign manager to send all her supporters home and then pretty much calling Trump right away to concede is a bad look. Pretty disrespectful to those people who stayed all night even when it looked over.

Low class move.

They were talking on NBC about how awkward it will be for the Obamas to welcome these #######s to the White House given that they questioned his presidency for half the term and never apologized.
