Hi girls -
will be back later but just wanted to say I was shocked and upset to look at my phone at 3 in the morning to find out Trump is our president - should not have done that, could not go back to sleep, feeling very worried and I don't feel comfortable with his judgement, personality traits, views, and feel he's incompetent - have been talking to dh, he has been reminding me there are checks in place on the President so he can't just do anything he wants and he will be surrounded by people who will keep him in line. He says people might feel better after he picks his cabinet and Chief of Staff is key, he's the gatekeeper so hopefully Trump will choose wisely. Dh said many people weren't necessarily voting for Trump but were voting against Clinton and the policies of Obama. He reminded me that 72% feel that the country is heading in the wrong direction and Trump was able to tap into that. And I think health care is a big issue for a lot of people. Dh doesn't seem panicked and said if he's bad he'll be voted out in four years. I don't know, I feel a little more calm after talking to dh but it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that Trump was somehow able to pull this off. Very surreal and I am still worried but we have no choice but to accept the outcome and hope for the best.
