Yesterday, Wednesday 9th Nov (9th November early morning USA), the people of the USA voted in Donald Trump, the businessman with a hotel and entertainment empire spanning 3 continents. This while not totally unexpected, shocked many billions around the world, as the polling agencies (almost 90%) had their statistics and data thrown out the window in 24 hours. A total loss of credibility for many pollsters,traditional and mass media.
All (except for maybe 2) voting polls were totally wrong, the people from the lowest rungs of society in USA, the disenfranchised, the people wanting change, the folks who in their hearts hated either candidate but voted for the lesser of 2 evils made their choice. At the end of a long, bruising with tremendous mudslinging and personal attacks, USA has the 45th President elect in the wings.
Many people who were not internet savvy, quietly went their way, answered the surveys
changed their minds at the last minute ? I don't think so, they voted for 'change' against the ruling executive.
Many people in the country and aorund the world are shocked at the outcome, the established elites, the ordinary folk, the minorities, the millions of women he insulted, the list is endless. Yet he won.
So how now ?, we wait with bated breath what will come of this new era ?
