At 2.25am, Donald Trump gazed out at his jubilant supporters wearing “Make America Great Again” hats. He was surrounded by his wife, Melania, and his children, the Stars and Stripes and giant banners that proclaimed: “Dream big again” and “Trump will fix it!”

“We’re going to help our country heal,” Trump vowed. “We have a country that needs help and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders, we’re going to fix everything about our country and we’ve made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going to be just that.”

Democratic strategist and former Republican congressional aide, said: “What we’re going to have is an imperial presidency. This is going to be probably the most powerful presidency in terms of centralising power and wielding power that we’ve had probably since FDR [Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was president from 1933 until his death in 1945].”

Anything, really. The supreme court said the president has immunity for any official acts.

'Golden'? They meant 'gilded'.

hey mr. poopstain, if you're reading up on history (like that's gonna happen), you would know fdr didn't have scotus bought-and-paid-for. for example: they didn't allow him to dismiss a hoover-appointed ftc commissioner in order to push his policies.

when I hear golden age, I think gilded age.

and the gilded age was absolutely shitty for people who weren't moderately wealthy. the last time I looked, that describes 90% of the american population.
