US Presidential Election 2016 Megathread

[-:Undertaker:-]

Oh my god how will the billionaire survive

What a brave man - he'll come out with practically nothing

More than the Obama's - worth $7m - could do. Didn't Michelle take trips on Air Force One for shopping trips?

Hopefully the Trump family will be the First Family, not the Freeloading Family.

The EU is threatening us if we sign a trade deal with America once Trump is in office.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson will not attend a 'crisis' meeting in Brussels tomorrow which was arranged to discuss how Europe will deal with the aftermath of the US election result.

Mr Johnson, 52, will not be at the dinner after he told his EU counterparts to end the 'whinge-o-rama' over Donald Trump's victory.

The Foreign Office said that 'an act of democracy has taken place' and they 'do not see the need' for an additional meeting.

Instead, the UK will be represented by a senior official who will attend the event in Belgium.

Mr Johnson will attend a 'regular' Foreign Affairs Council meeting on Monday where a range of issues will be discussed.

A Foreign Office spokesman told MailOnline: 'The Foreign Secretary will not attend the meeting convened for Sunday.

'There is a regular Foreign Affairs Council meeting on Monday where a range of issues can be discussed in the normal way.

'We do not see the need for an additional meeting on Sunday because the US election timetable is long established.

'An act of democracy has taken place, there is a transition period and we will work with the current and future administrations to ensure the best outcomes for Britain.'

It comes as Prime Minister Theresa May was warned by a leading German politician that she is 'delusional' if she believes she can get a good trade deal from Trump.

Main reason for wanting a Trump Presidency was that he'd be better for British interests than a Obama/Clinton one. Looks about right.

Oh how times change. Remember the sneering at both of them a year or two ago from the mainstream elite?

Practically pennies difference between Obama's (7m) net worth and Trumps (3.7b) net worth.

where did it say the UK would be punished for seeking a trade deal? all I can see is a german politician telling us we're delusional if we think we can get a good trade deal with him?

I think everyone is still sneering at Farage?

Is he trying to do everything he possibly can to get him another 30 seconds in the news since his party has served it's purpose and is no longer required?

Long live Emperor Trump

Would be better if he accepted the 400k but pledged it to a charity or something. Would be better PR too

That photo of Trump looks like a guy getting back to his Last Vegas hotel room after a long night of drinking, gambling and strippers while Farage looks like the hotel manager trying to fit in.
