All former Presidents are still addressed as “President”, and/or as Mr President.
Never understood it myself.

Re: Trump wins US Presidency for a 2nd Term
Ah my nerves were gone I'll be honest during election day. I had this horrible stomach churning feeling Kamala Harris would gain power over us all. But America has voted against it
Final results, Harris 226 - 312 Trump
https://news.sky.com/story/us-electi...-live-13209921
I do wish he had gained more votes but hey ho let's go Trump

If you’re perturbed because someone doesn’t reply or you don’t like the brevity/content of their reply then I’d suggest going outside and engaging in real life

I’m not going to lie, I’m disappointed in America and the large number of Americans who have been willing to overlook far too much. He’s a convict, a rapist, a con man and a mysoginist. I’m especially disappointed in the great swathes of Evangelical so-called Christians who have been willing to overlook his character in pursuit of one or two policies he is personally only lukewarm about.
I *hope* you’re right, and he spends the next 4 years not doing all the things he threatened to do. I *hope* it was all just a pantomime act to get votes. But at this point I’m not convinced.
And on that point, the Ukraine war isn’t going to end just because Trump said he’d end it. Ukraine, and the whole of Esastern Europe, is about to get a whole lot more dangerous because Putin *believes* he has Trump in his pocket and that will embolden him. Though right now I’m angrier at the Biden admin that has constantly spoken warm words about Ukraine while only ever doing just enough to prevent it from collapsing.

The betting market is pointing to Donny simply because of a few massive bets being placed in his favour and I'm pretty sure their will be examples on the other side too and imho it's got to stop, this manipulation and misinformation harms democracy and legitimacy to levels where an alternative form of government may seem preferable to many.

Got a nasty feeling we were wrong to hope for the best, just based on his cabinet picks so far, who tbh seem to be there out of fealty rather than ability to do the job, certainly in Noam, Rubio, Habba and Homan casses, Homan incidentally authored Project 2025 that donnie doesn’t know anything about, one who does have ability is Susie Wiles but I'd be surprised if she lasts in that circus, she may even walk away herself, the thing the rest have in common is complete loyalty to donnie and the defence of him.
I see donnies vow to end the Ukraine war the day after winning the presidency, not after inauguration but simply winning it were hollow, vlad the insaner is denying even taking donnies call and has instead decided to make the state tv station to show nude images of the new first lady, how's that for a massive FU. Don't hold much hope for a cease fire I gaza and Lebanon either, not with Rubio and Huckerbee in post.
Been seeing a fair few examples of buyers remorse too, people who thought ACA and Obama care were different things, people who didn't know how tariffs work and immigrants worried it might be them or family members getting deported, its like brexit all over again only with far worse individual consequences. See Elmo is getting a fantastic return on investment too, mind you I've lost 6000 followers on twitter because of donnies win, so thanks elmo.

Very objective.
Homan is very experienced and a former Director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Rubio is a very experienced senator
Habba, it’s only Press Secretary, I think he should have made up with Kayleigh McEnany, she was the best in his last administration.

Re: Trump wins US Presidency for a 2nd Term
Personally, I wouldn't get too excited one way or the other with Trump's appointments. His previous appointments were never long lasting and I see no reason why his second term should be any different.

I believe this term will be different, as he is appointing for personal loyalty over skillset for the posts…

Re: Trump wins US Presidency for a 2nd Term
I read Musk has been given a job.
I guess he will be after funding for Space X in the near future?
