I can see why he won. He's a rich, famous, liar, bully, 4 x bankrupt, tax avoider, misogynist, homophobic, racist & sex abuser. Great choice

If you're upset it's probably just best to stay off social media right now. It's just as easy to be stressed as it is to add to it

Been describing Trump to people as the Nickelback effect.
Example: i've never met anyone who likes Nickelback... but they sell out arenas.
