Obama reads ten letters and messages from regular people a night. I can only imagine the worry and anxiety in those over the last few months.

Do you even know how voter registration works? A non-citizen cannot register to vote. Therefore they would never be on the voting rolls. Therefore it is impossible for them to vote.
In-person voting fraud is nearly non-existent in the US and incredibly inefficient even if it was widespread. Voter ID laws serve only to ensure poor people cannot vote because it places unnecessary burden on them via time from work, location, and cost. You're talking dozens of cases over a period of 15 years out of billions of ballots cast.
It's no accident that voter ID laws are frequently coupled with highly reduced hours of operations of DMV offices, and office closures to the point sometimes people have to go to different counties just to get an ID.
He is easily rumbled, you could whisper lies in his ears and as long as it's a jab at him personally he will fight back without questioning. A dangerous fool.
Not much we Swedes can do but recently our former foreign minister Carl Bildt spoke out in Washington Times that Trump's presidency "is the end of the western world as we know it." Many other Swedish politicians are in shock and disbelief still. Reactions are that we cannot rely on the US. any longer as a defensive ally against any hostile acts against our country (or the rest of Scandinavia).
Pretty much a vast majority of the Swedish politicians who do not belong to our local Nazi party (the Swedish Democrats) dislike Trump and have spoken out against him several times as a threat to human rights and decency.
I doubt we will just quit talking with the US. but the trust is definitely hurt.
I'm in mourning.
LOL - you have no idea what you're talking about.
Why is it always junior accounts that spout this rubbish??

Jesus, I knew I was feeling deja vu, just couldn't remember the thread. Is this your GAF account, Donald?

Trolled himself to the presidency. It would be hilarious if the stakes weren't so high and racists weren't being emboldened by the rhetoric.
Though peeps should calm it down with the whole chicken little reactions to trump.
He hasn't enacted a single policy yet so it's just signal noise until he starts the job proper.
I honestly cannot predict what's going to happen months after inauguration day.
I'd like to believe we are seeing signs of pivots coming through the cracks, this being one of them.
However there is the looming menace of the republican platform and white nationalist advocates pissing into his ear daily.
Though isn't Ivanka and his kids pretty liberal? And they'll be advising him too.
I mean right now the only thing he's done that's concrete is chat to Taiwan and save a thousand jobs (at tax dollars expense but rather that than all out war etc)
Tldr: it's all just speculation as to what's going to happen at this point with Trump. The fear mongering hyperbole seems premature and honestly quite depressing.

The fact he's putting some of the worst people in powerful positions around him makes the fear far from hyperbolic. Pence as VP alone had people worried considering what he did in Indiana.
His kids can't advise him on shit, the people he's putting him around him will and considering Trump seems pretty unable to think for himself they'll be pulling the strings.

Yeah the looming threat of the republican platform was identified in my post. But it depends whether Trump will be swayed away from the more insipid elements of the party due to his liberal leanings.
It's not as though he is a big hit with establishment republicans and has had fallings out in the past. Also since he's prone to flip flopping,who knows?

Exactly, but even that wasn't SO bad, I mean it certainly was a divisive topic on the other thread about it.
