Re: US Election 2016
Some possible positive consequences of Trump's victory for American home buyers:
https://tranio.com/world/news/what-t...y-market_5219/
Trump is so unpredictable that some real estate investors are now worried about the local property market and hesitate to spend the money. So less investments means falling housing prices in the US which is not bad, isn't it?

As for his kids sitting in meetings. What meetings? Again he is not in office, so any meetings he is currently undertaking are unofficial. I believe Japan PM Abe, was just passing through and decided to pay Trump a visit. It was not ascertained if his daughter was actually sat there in the discussions but not surprising the Anti-Trump press, such as the NYT, would try and make something out of nothing.

Re: US Election 2016
You don't think that his impending position as President of the United States isn't going to give him some sway in those meetings?
What about when he is President and his company is still being run by his children rather than placed in a blind trust? What happens when the Trump organisation is seeking permits from local governments whilst he, as President, is dealing with them?

Re: US Election 2016
That remains to be seen. Everyone seems quick to judge him before he's got there. You never know he may surprise us all and be one of the best presidents ever.
I'm not holding my breath though.

I think Trump has given us more than enough material for us to judge him on. He might suddenly reverse all that, although he is still responsible for what he has said, but his transition period hasn't given us much confidence that he will.
I think the biggest surprise will be that he means what he said. He really will spend billions on a wall, he really will attempt to make Muslims sign a registry and punish women for abortions. It's some sign of how depressing this is for some that we hope the President Elect was lying.

Re: US Election 2016
Little light joy from Jane Moore's column in my redtop today:
Quote:
One minute Kanye West announced live on stage that he would have voted for Donald Trump. The next they handcuffed him to a stretcher and declared him "tired and emotional"
The Donald may be an acquired taste, but that seems little harsh.

You can see why so many have a very low opinion of politicians in the US and UK.

Mr Trump will be the new US President. The UK will leave the EU.
Go with the facts and save yourself all that hand-wringing angst
