One thing that was brought to my attention is that Trump has made the record of the oldest president to be elected in the US at 70. With the high stress environment of the presidency there's no guarantee he will even make it through one term
A very good point indeed.

Honestly I'm going to start posting Election 2016 memes in here.

hey, Trump might surprise everyone.
Who knows?
He can either be the perfect pres, or the worst one ever. It's like the cat, the box and the neurotoxin.
And if you know the reference, good for you

As someone who is a professional chemistry tutor I approve of this. Though technically if we carry the cat metaphor into the presidency then at this time he is the best AND worst.

Exactly.
Well, at least until we open the box.

Phobia? Certainly no. Though you will find that many russian people think that US has gone too far trying to control the world and should be stopped, that double-thinkig of US (and it's satellites) should be stopped etc etc. In short you can sum it as "get your hands off".
Ah I see, so there might be a hint of exaggeration from my Professors. It might be worth learning about Russia else where. I was thinking about taking up my university's study aboard program and study in Moscow, it seems like that would be a better learning experience.

Trump has essentially promised to let the Russian's do what they want while Clinton said she wouldn't back down. Its extremely obvious the Russians wanted Trump to do. They were even talking to the campaign before the election for gods sake
Very true, however the response from the Russian government has been half assed at best. The thing with Trump is that he is "America's Putin" (Reuters news War_college podcast, great podcast) so one day he could let the Russians do whatever they want but the next he could response with over aggression. With Clintion the Kremlin knew what they were getting, with Trump its a different story.

I'm pretty sure Trump is willing to essentially let eastern europe burn for the sake of being able to say hes not starting stuff. Meanwhile his supporters want Iran destroyed so that is going to be an unnecessary conflict while Iran was in the process of going moderate but now Trump could empower hardliners.


On another note Trump picked a former segregationist and man who said the voting rights act was "unamerican" for the position of attorney general.

I truly hope that Trump will just be a good president. That being said, I'm fairly certain he is going to bomb Iran back to the stone age the moment he gets a chance.
