Love him or hate him, it will be fascinating to see if the democratic institutions of the United States can endure this. He has made it very clear he wants to dismantle as much as he can, including term limits. Time will tell if the US really is the greatest democracy and can withstand a wannabe dictator, or if he really can subvert it all. It’s going to be a wild four years, and I fear more wall building.

"and I fear more wall building." - more wall building was instigated under Biden, this is practical reality rearing it's head not the political left/right.

It'll be interesting to see what this will mean for European dependence on US tech companies. I'm not personally against companies like Microsoft as such, in fact I think they are one of the better IT business partners for non-tech Enterprise. Often what they sell is vastly underestimated by their critics within the EU, not that I disagree with the problematic nature of depending on foreign tech companies either. Wit…

If Trump goes through with his wide-sweeping tariffs, there will be trade wars. That goes for tech, too.

And keep in mind, if he installs nothing but loyalists and sycophants, who's to stop him from these half-baked ideas?

We’ve had four years of this man as President. This seems like FUD?

Is there some statistical analysis on the reason people vote trump ? I refuse to believe the narrative that Americans are just a bunch of redneck retarded bigots.

Tried to Google it but all I find is a bunch of American news website like CNN and website like https://www.voterstudygroup.org/publication/the-five-types-t...

I'm trying to look beyond the propaganda, any idea if there has been scientific studies or anything remotely credible ?

The EU beaurocracy is into self sabotage.

They don't promote a climate where European tech companies can grow and they hamper the usage of US tech companies products.
