For the thinkers who are willing to try to leave the anger out of this, maybe do some reading, and answer me one question...
How is any of this GOOD for our country or our world in 2017 and beyond?
Taxes
Trump’s tax policy proposes very conservative cuts for middle and lower classes (all less than 10%) to reduce revenue/debt over a 10-year period, but boasts a 10.2% rise in after tax income for the populace “overall”. This is because he boasts significantly greater gains for the top 10% (14.6%) and even more for the top 1% (21.6%). Despite this, the people who stand to gain the least from his tax policy still voted for him.

Climate Change
This is some of the best evidence available in climate change study all thrown into a single article. Trump and his newly appointed EPA-transition advisor are laughing in the face of the best available science and data.

This one is included, but is particularly disturbing. http://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/24/
You can argue that the temperature change overall might yet be within a normal variance, but the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are off the charts since the mid 20th century.
He also has a similar take on vaccinations, suggesting that they cause Autism. This has also been debunked by the best available research.
Gun Control
Trump's proposals will make it quicker and easier for people to buy guns, including assault weapons that are especially deadly in mass casualty shootings. He also proposes that we lift gun-restricted zones at public places, including hospitals, libraries and schools.

Again - what am I missing?
Obviously, there are other issues, but if we're going to keep this conversation going, we might as well be civil and tackle them one at a time. Otherwise, what's the point?

The emails were a reason too.
i think what is good is that the biggest thing to come out of this election is the anti-establishment vote ... people who are tired of wall street controlling and dictating policies and agenda ... I'm not saying it's necessarily going to change with Trump but that was the message sent ... really, e-mails had very little to do with this ... anti-trade, anti-corporate welfare played a much larger role ...
this hopefully will force the democratic party to see if they really are interested in governing for the populace or just their wealthy donors ... sanders has alluded to this in recent days ...
What do you think of his plans to poke the bear that is China.
App that says 40% democrats pledged support to Trump. Interesting read.
Bagging on Hillary, Trump, or Bernie is fine....but please do not denigrate strippers.
They are real people, with real feelings.
(If not all real body parts.)
According to the Tax Foundation’s Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to an 11 percent higher GDP over the long term provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed.
The plan would also lead to a 29 percent larger capital stock, 6.5 percent higher wages, and 5.3 million more full-time equivalent jobs.
The plan would cut taxes and lead to higher after-tax incomes for taxpayers at all levels of income.
im happy with that......
"provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed"
who pisses in your cheerios on a daily basis? you can't seriously be this angry all the time
i eventually think it will get tweaked once more analyst get involved but im not a numbers cruncher nor will I try and act like one
