He has since then boasted to everyone about the size of his inauguration crowd (and practically covered his ears while screaming when the media noted it wasn't as big as he said), kept bragging about the wall that he is totally going to build, and the American taxpayer shouldn't worry because Mexico will totally pay back the cost (even if Mexico keeps telling him to go fuck himself every time he brings it up), and enacted a ban on people from certain Muslim countries (not the ones where he has done business of course), essentially telling refugees fleeing goddamn ISIS, too bad, you're not getting in (unless you're Christian, of course).

However, among all those shitty news, I saw all those people marching in protest after the inauguration, and those protesting in the airports against the Muslim ban. Hundreds of thousands taking a stand against misogyny, xenophobia, racism, and all forms of bigotry. People of both ends of the spectrum clearly stating that they will fight against Trump's policies, and defend the right to a free press without governmental interference. So, before this thread is left to dust in the back of this subforum (somebody should create a "Trump Presidency" thread or something), I'll say: There's still a shimmer of hope in this world.

Americans, as somebody currently living in a dictatorship (let's hope you never get to that point), I give you my respect and support.

Well, here you go.
As Trump and his politics will be a broad subject to talk about the next few years, it wasn't a bad idea at all to open this thread.

Btw I'd interested now, if he really changed his mind regarding the NATO or if he, like he has done before, is just saying to Merkel (and indirectly to everyone else) NATO's good, while preparing the dagger thrust for the NATO.
