So, Now That Trump Won, Is Everything "Golden"???

No....We all have heard the adage about the "Price of freedom is eternal vigilance", and it is perhaps more pertinent than ever!  A man like Trump may be "light years better" than Hillary, but anyone who says he is perfect wasn't listening during the campaign!  The man is swamped in a massive ego problem, and winning the election can easily go to his swollen head, as it did for J.F.K., and F.D.R., who didn't appear to have Trump's ego problem, yet foolishly believed that infidelity could be kept from the public, and wouldn't effect their presidency at all.  Trump's groping scandals will negate any efforts to sweep any philandering under the table.  As hard as the mainstream media tried to put Clinton in office, they will be watching for any opportunity to force Trump out.  Multiple sex scandals will be played up repeatedly, until a hostile Congress (with bitter Democrats, and self-serving  establishment Republicans) would just love to impeach him!  And, he'd better recognize this!

Trump has elucidated an ambitious platform throughout his campaign, and if he can comply with most of it, re-election will be easy.  But, he must behave himself, after hours, and his reputation doesn't indicate he has the ability to do so.  If he hires wise counselors, and actually listens to them, he may be able to do this.  But, if he foolishly believes that his election was a mandate of personality worship rather than a blatant repudiation of the Clintons' corruption practices, he may go off on one of his old ego-manic delusions, where he imagines that every beautiful woman wants to sleep with him!  If he does, we will see him shipped back to Trump Tower, and we'll be talking about President Pense, from then on!

As a side issue, I wonder if all this Democratic talk of "smooth transition",  and popular unity behind the next administration, is genuine, or is it a negotiating ploy to get Trump to back off of any Clinton prosecution?  And, will the Clinton camp try to claim voter fraud (from Russian hackers interfering with the ballot count)?   I don't believe this thing is really over, yet!!!

For that matter, we don't even know yet if Trump is willing to accept these results as final!  All his spouting about the election being "rigged",  I wonder if he will accept winning any more than he probably wouldn't have accepted losing???
