D-Day came and went and the unthinkable happened. We are now looking at the chosen 45th President elect Mr.Donald Trump. Irrespective of his archaic policies, he stands to be the winner and you cannot but think how he did it? Charged with a crass electoral campaign, old-fashioned political agenda and policies, we are standing in the 21st Century with backflow governance. I guess it goes to show that he reflects a lot of the unspoken belief of the Americans and he was just the ugly voice who expressed it publically. America will see change like no other. From the most controversial presidential candidate to becoming the president of one of the world's superpower, Trump has a lot to prove. It's like entire US is going to compete in a country wide Apprentice show.

The stats however were astounding. An insightful article by BBC clearly mapped the entire election result and it was seen there were states that turned Republican from Democratic. Trump was more popular with 53% of the male population voting for him. Surprisingly 53% of elderly ~ (65+) voted for trump along with 58% amongst the non-educated white male population backing him (Racist much).  Mid west States as such favour republican and hence it was rather difficult for Democrats to win them especially after the Federal investigations against Hillary which made matters worse. it's a known fact that whoever wins Florida usually ends up winning the presidential race and the trend proved again this time with 49.1 % of Florida backing Trump. To make matters even more substantial, Republicans are dominating the Senate as well as the House of Representatives. (Source: Edison Research for ABC News, AP, CNN, Fox News, NBC News, BBC)

The troubling scenario presents fear and the desolate hope in the hearts of some Americans who believe their life to be much worse hence forth v/s the liberals who will now have to undergo a lot of cat fights. My preference was Hillary because I do not believe that Trump's policies are entirely realistic and will definitely carry a lot of rights back a decade or so. I think the reason he won was because he stressed a lot on the issue of immigration being an immigrant himself, double standards galore. Americans and especially mid-west is still too racist for the 21st Century and I guess this just strengthens their belief. The thought behind scrapping Obamacare as the republicans thought hampered the business did not cover the fact that there was an approx 9% increase in jobs in the health care sector. I think it is quite a fundamental rule of politics to overthrow the judicial structure, policies, schemes of the previous party just so you can leave your mark on it. No matter who wins, the aim should be to benefit the people. You don't like a policy, you alter it, tweak it but not completely give it away. 

Even though during his campaign Trump had a lot of controversies, a lot of biased, hateful political agenda, let's hope that when in power he will earn the right not to abuse it. With the rapid change in the world's political framework, things are changing and they are changing fast. It all began with Brexit, now this, anti-corruption campaign and demonetization by Modi ji and a whole lot of pointers are towards making each nation a sole entity directing primarily towards a power struggle in the near future. 

But, I have to say congratulate Trump for he proved himself the winner as a true entertainer and we all got some good laughs. LOVED the meme's, have to share some of my favourites. Genius!
