I still find it funny that you've voted for President Fart. Sorry, but that just isn't going to get old for me. 
Trump, Great President Or The Greatest President?

I'm probably being dense, but I have no idea what this is in reference to.
Oh, that's right... you already said you wrote in McMullen.

You're not being dense. Over here "trump" is slang for farting. Therefore, to trump is to fart. Hence, President Fart. It's all I hear everytime someone says his name. Always has been. It was funny enough when he wrote on everything he owned or promoted, but putting President before it is just wonderful.

I voted third party, but I knew it wouldn't work, so I still rooted for Trump during the voting.

His speech sounded slightly Keynesian when he talked about investment, I'm interested in hearing how he goes about that. He's always seemed slightly more middle ground on issues like that, healthcare too. But yeah, I think there's been an overreaction as to how much damage he could potentially do, people act as if he is free to do what he wants and that he will start WW3 tomorrow.

In the beginning when he ran, there was talk of a new reality show if he won the White House.

It keeps people tuned into the commercials.. Media has only one bias - financial.

So , I think there are a few of us pro-conservative anti-Trump types on the board. I told Yoda earlier today my take away from the election is that I hope to see a cabinet full of faces I would have voted for. I hold out hope Trump will tone it down and take some advice through these four years. Does anyone have a cabinet wish list?

Hopefully he will listen to them and not go full-Sarah PalinTrumps made himself a very wealthy man surrounding himself with great talent to do it for him. I hope he chooses wisely. He is able to do that, I think.

Just noticed this thread. I'm going to quote what I said in the election thread, because it fits better in here:
This is going to sound extremely odd to some people and it's perhaps not entirely believable coming from a young white male (who undoubtedly lives inside his own bubble of perception), but I sincerely believe that Trump has a better chance of unifying America and perhaps even the world than Hillary.
The right and the far left would've never stood behind her. It was basically impossible for her from the beginning to become a unifying president because of people's firm perceptions of her.
I don't really have any proof for this, but my feeling is that people will be more willing to give Trump a chance to unify them if he actually starts acting as a sensible and inclusive president. He's said a lot of horrible stuff in the past of course and his reputation may very well already be beyond saving, but something tells me that he still has that small opportunity to surprise everyone in that regard.

Trump is going to be for US what Hugo Chaves was for Venezuela.
Although I doubt he will go that far. The US has stronger democratic institutions that block his dictatorial aspirations. In greater probability will be pretty much like a populist Latin American Banana Republic President. Although I wonder how far he would go for the wall, which would be tremendously unpopular worldwide.
And no, don't expect a free market conservative a la Romney. Trump is a fascist style populist in line with people like Franco, Mussolini and Getulio Vargas. His policy objectives also sound very much like LA I import substitution industrialisation policies of the 1960's. He will not have a free market conservative cabinet, in fact the economic advisers working for him will be the worst kind of crackpots. There is potential for severe economic damage in his proposals although I doubt Trump is stupid enough to go through his most moronic policies.
Tyler Cowen did some analysis of Trump's possible policies:

Although I think he is very optimistic there.

I'm having a hard time telling when those stop being paintings and start being photographs.
