GUILFORD-So Trump has been elected - again. If last time was bad, this time will be much worse.
I am baffled and angry. Have those who voted for him not heard what he has been saying for the last four years? Do you think prices will really go down after he deports close to a million people?
The ripple effects will be immeasurable, as workers are taken and sent back from whence they came, resulting in less workers, higher prices, and the effects on many businesses, especially small ones.
Did no one hear his rants about kids being sent to school and coming home a different gender? Or his admiration for Arnold Palmer's penis?
The effects of his presidency on the world as well will be devastating, especially on Gaza and Ukraine. The world is shaking its head in wonder as to how this could happen again - the countries that do not have dictators, that is.
If you think adapting to the changing weather is hard now, just wait: It will get worse, and who will cover the expenses for that? What will happen with health care, Social Security, and so many other programs and services?
What were you thinking? If you think you are immune from what Trump does, remember that what he does will affect everyone, not just those who did not vote for him. As for the abortion issue, women will suffer.
Trump cares almost entirely about himself, and that is the real crux of the matter. He does care about some other people -rich, white men. They are the only ones who will benefit from his win.
In the end, when people who voted for him don't get what they want, they have no right to complain.
