Some americans tried to get a movement going about not watching the inauguration because Trump fears low ratings. It seemed very stupid, but that could explain it.
But what can explain all those angry housewives who shitstorm him, besides too much time and paranoia?
Debatable. It's a toss-up between bobblehead Kim and Duerte. Trump isn't crazy at all, just willing to do shit that needs doing that no career politician would hav the guts to do.

Not particularly. I didn't vote for him, but he was clearly the slightly lesser of the two evils the major parties put forward. I approve of some of the things he is doing, am indifferent toward others, and disapprove of some. He is clearly a severely narcissistic paranoid, but better that than what the alternative was.
... I agree, the " incompetent buffoon unexpectedly becomes US president " quotient will hopefully take some of the predictability out of the total corruption that we are used to living under.

Very well-put.
For shits 'n' grins, I just completed an older quiz:
It goes without saying, the outcomes of these internet quizzes are influenced in varying degrees by the questions asked, choices provided, wording of the questions/answers, etc.

You have always demonstrated great wisdom in political matters, so that is not surprising.
A good thing about Trump: Before the election, a lot of my echo chambers were constantly proclaiming that It Doesn't Matter Who You Vote For, It's All THE SYSTEM.
This will bring some nuance into that lazy notion.
I liked Trump's speech today.
I disliked how he blew off Native Americans with his pipelines.
But he handled himself well.
Even when he said the leaks were correct but the media is a lie.
The Media is in fact a lie.
This is proof that listening to him makes you lose IQ points.
You know,Trump actually wouldn't be so bad if he at least talked at an intellectual level like every president before him.
But he talks like he's talking to a bunch of kids.
I think he really believes the majority of Americans that voted for him are uneducated.

He wouldn't be so bad, what?
It's comforting that he is stupid and easy to dismiss. You want a dumb fascist as president, not a smart one that can manipulate the vast majority. Like Obama amirite?

Coin.
Presidents have little powers except for the executive orders.
They are mostly supposed to be our cheerleaders.
This is why I believe the left and right wings are attached to the same bird.
Hillarious would have made little difference.
Yes people will disagree with me because we have nightmares being appointed to run this country.
But people seem to have forgotten just how much Hillarious was paid off left and right.
It's all a big show to me.
My real judgements haven't even started yet.
Because I'm waiting for March when Trump announces his Health Care plan.
If he leans left AS PROMISED and gets us universal health care then I'm praising his orange ass.
But if he doesn't it's going to be a right winger pulling that trigger I can almost guarantee it.
