All my friends here over the over side of the Pond - where we didn't even get to vote - are all besides themselves that Trump won and can't understand it at all so woefully uneducated are they about the true state of affairs of US politics. I am alarmed at the depths of division in this country - the woke agenda relied on by the left for their vote serves only to divide. They have been willing to destroy democracy to prevent this Trump win even assassinate him - so I think they are scared of something.

Can a 2nd Trump presidency be any different? Maybe, now he has a clear mandate and legally passing legislation should be much easier. It's looking good for crypto. I've always thought a Trump victory would allow the US an off ramp in this Ukraine war that they are losing so badly.

Much depends on the people around him. RFK Jr yes good. However, far too many war hawks making me think there will be no peace in the Middle East.

Meantime there will be extra stimulus/spending with an emphasis on keeping the dollar cheap. I forsee inflation for countries like mine - following eventually for a wave of inflation hitting the US.

Much of this is the same old same old by now. We need to appreciate these are selections not elections. Whose going to be best for the markets?
