He explains his rational argument here[1]. Basically his argument is "don't take Trump literally, take him seriously". 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob-LJqPQEJ4

trump is an idiot who has no business being president of the country, which marks the first time someone with zero (literally zero) political experience, not even military service, was elected to that position. That said, he speaks his mind and it's trivial to see what he's thinking. Had Hillary Clinton (who I and any sane person would like over Trump) become President, it would be impossible to know what she really…
Very many sane people had no desire to see Hillary Clinton be the president of the United States. There's just no need to keep pretending that your opinion is the only rational choice when you've been repudiated so completely.
I'd rather get in a plane flown by a pilot who has spoken out publicly about being a Jihadi terrorist (in this analogy Hillary Clinton, and I make this analogy because I really, really disagree with a lot of her policies and I don't even like her and don't think she even wants what's best for me), than in a plane piloted by someone who literally has never piloted anything, not just a jumbo jet but not even sat in a student's seat, of any kind of plane. Who doesn't even have a driver's license. That is insane. Never in the history of the United States has someone with no political experience of any kind been elected to the Presidency. It's just insane.

It would be easy to tell what he thinks... except for the fact nobody knows what his real positions are, what he is really going to do and that his strategy worked regardless.

You do realize that Clinton won the popular vote, right? the majority of Americans agree with her policies and voted for her. Trump won because of the arcane 18th century election structure unique to the US called an electoral college.

Any person that is able to parry and repose mid air the fat pigs question with "Only Rosie O'Donnel" is not an idiot by a long margin.
I have been trump supporter since the beginning - your expert diagnosis of my mental health aside - the guy won for too long, against great odds, made all the long shots for that to be luck.
And with a world gone mad, you may need a madman on top.
So take a break, take a kit-kat, watch About Last Night... (South Park), calm down - the world has not ended yet. The country is mostly the same as yesterday. The deer in headlights coupled with chicken little act that Hilary supporters are performing today while mildly amusing is pointless.
And if the left don't start to see the others as at least capable and dangerous opponents and not bigoted simpletons you may not see an winning election for a long time to come.
What the SJW managed to do in the last 4 years by overplaying their hand is the creation of strong white identity. That thing did not existed before.
You felt the first cut with brexit, and are now lacerated by 2016 election.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
Trump knew himself and knew exactly what was against him. Your side didn't.

The thorough repudiation is that Hillary Clinton was anointed the next president, anointed the "only" "sane" choice, and lost. It's a fact, no matter what tears people dredge up now.
I say this with no love or support for Donald Trump, just open eyes in a process that most people enter willfully blind.

Thanks for helping the readers of Hacker News understand why Trump won.
Yeah because at least half the voting populace is assholes. We just elected a child rapist who's most relevant contribution to society unto now is the Celebrity Apprentice. President Celebrity Apprentice! Great fucking job! You fools.
The election was yesterday, it's too late to change anyone's mind.

If we could gather all the negative energy from the internet today, we could make a few black holes.
