The 2016 election saw the victory of a populist and billionaire outsider now politician Donald Trump. His rhetoric during his campaign was filled with anti-immigrant, anti-black, and anti-leftist hate. Hillary Clinton allowed a scandal regarding her e-mails destroy her chances for the US presidency. Although she was not as deserving due to her past actions as Secretary of State, Donald Trump lacks the basic leadership experience. He has never been a senator, congressman, lawyer, or governor. The hate he generated has now comeback in the form of protests around the United States. These protests will probably get bigger and he has not yet assumed office. The recent meeting with Trump with President Obama proved to be awkward in manner and conduct. A Republican dominated the House and the Senate can only mean a period of extreme right conservative rule. The only chance is that political factionalism in the Republican Party can stop Trump from enacting certain policies. Simultaneously, protests could help in obstructing the function of his administration. Trump's poor relations with the press could also cause him harm. While both President Obama and Hillary Clinton said they want to see the president elect to be successful, ultimately it would be the decline of the US . His failure should be hoped for, because of the platforms and promises that could negatively effect vast sections of the population. The 2016 election demonstrated that white Americans would rather see their nation destroyed, then live with other ethnic groups. Racism was the major motivation for the white rural population voting in larger numbers. Combined with a struggling economy, non-whites are always the scapegoat. Its uncertain what America's future is, but it will not be a positive result.
