Who among us predicted the outcome of the presidential election
correctly? I dare say, precious few. I don’t think even the Don himself thought
he would win in the fashion he did—or even win at all.
It was funny to watch the networks scrambling to adjust the
tenor or their broadcasts from what they thought would be an obvious Clinton
win to the reality that trumped every prognosticator they employed.
For those who are worried or even scared about what a Trump presidency
may mean, realize that we didn’t just elect a king. Even his own party is
casting a jaundiced eye at this victory and what it will portend. Know there
are safeguards in place, there are two other branches or our government that
will keep in check most of any foolishness that could come from the
mogul-cum-president-elect.
And, I have to believe, even Trump’s shenanigans during his
free-wheeling campaign will be more humbled and chaste—although still fiery and
divisive—in his new guise as President of the United States.
Trump trumped all—even himself!
