The American Election

Well, as most people know by now: Donald Trump has won the American election for presidency. As an innocent, european bystander, I'm completely baffled by the result. Not that signs haven't pointed to "GO" for Trump's part for a long time, but I'm still completely flabbergasted that the American people allowed him to get this far. The same goes for Clinton, since I wouldn't consider her a great candidate for president of one of the most influential countries in the world. How people with so many scandals behind them have gottent his far in a presidential election is something that has appeared to baffle people all around the world.
Electing Trump as president has only further proven the stereotype of Americans as extremely low-brow, and I am honestly disappointed. You have the chance to elect one of the most influential people in the world, and you choose a man with the skintone and intelligence of one of your famous Halloween pumpkins?
The situation being as it is, I greatly fear for every immigrant in the US. Your country was built on freedom and variety amongst your people, and your new leader is a man that has several times spoken about looking down on immigrants and people of other religions, and you think he is a good choice?
I fear for the global economy, for the beginning of another war, and for the consequences of global warming. Trump not being able to admit to climate change is one of the greatest threats to global health and happiness. Climate change is in fact very real, and not realizing the reality of the situation could very well lead to his fall.
Browsing the internet, many seem very unhappy with the elected presidents, there has even been jokes about assassination and this being the death of the USA.
Personally, I have (as many others) had a glorified imagine of the united states as a younger girl, I even wanted to move there at a certain point. Getting more involved in politics and realizing how much trouble the country is actually in, both globally and financially, I have almost stopped admiring the country all together.
I don't know what else to share about the president to be... I'm disappointed in America as a nation.
