US politics from outside the beltway

The tycoon is not a gracious loser.

Donald Trump, whose previous interventions into national politics have been well-documented in their utter craziness, has outdone himself with his Twitter reaction to Obama's re-election.

While he does have 1.8m followers, it remains to be seen how many people agree with him that the US "is now in serious and unprecedented trouble".

One thing's for sure though - Donald Trump is not a good loser, as you can see below:

Romney now knows what it feels like to be 'fired'. Sweet J****, the guy's sixty-five and he's still got an annual income of $45 mil. And what's more most of the 'dead-beat' states voted for the old geezer. He don't need a handout buddy and he ain't a w*****k, gringo.

Trumped!!

Good grief. Is this man barking mad? Has anyone seen what this idiot is being allowed to do to the Aberdeenshire coast courtesy of his friend, Alex Salmond?

Don't you feel sorry for that other chump in the Tories that tipped Mitt Romney to win!

Donald Trump, butt out of it. You, Akin and Murdock have caused enough trouble as it is.

Tell me why again the Scottish Government gave in to this man and let him build a golf course on the unspoiled Aberdeenshire coast.

Trump suffers from little man syndrome!, if you know what i mean!!, and he`s obviously very bitter because he`s got a dead animal on his head!, even Arthur Scargill would find Trumps hair embarrasing!!.
Very insecure, attention, publicity seeking, silly little man!.

I guess his hair must have voted for Obama, seeing as he's tearing it out right now!!

America, like Britain is divided and Donald Trump and his ilk are partway responsible for that divide.
Like any spoilt child they just hate it when they can't have what they want.

If there's any injustice, it's that it's no longer politically correct to send the Trumps of the world to re-education camps, for a few years of hard manual labour and a diet of gruel.

and on Trump himself, hair is the biggest loser...

Trump's reaction simply endorses the result.

Trump is such a silly silly irrelevant man.
no coincidence that he is typical of the broad demographic that was anti-Obama; angry old white male

pro-Obama we find; women, young people, Hispanics, Blacks.

the GOP is now officially doomed, this was their last chance. good riddance to bad rubbish.

Oh come on Jankaas, the man is incredible entertainment and a boon to us lefties. If we ever need to show a caricature of an overly abrasive, bigoted, rich and greedy bastard as well as a lesson in how wealth and power corrupts we need only quote Trump a few times.

Heh! What people were saying after Slick Willie won again in '96. Your ignorance is shocking. You are certainly right about Blacks voting for Obama though. I wonder why?
