I haven't seen that kind of pro trump celebrating here at PP. My perception is that there has been a guarded sigh of relief that we won't have HRC attempting to put a no fly zone in Syria with the attendant risks of nuclear war with Russia that entailed, as well as a realistic awareness that Trumps foreign policy will probably suck in many other ways including a good chance we'll end up with a different slate of neocons coming to power.
I suspect that Trump presidency will represent a mix of good and bad outcomes. He has already effectively killed the TPP That goes into the Win column for me.
There are a bunch of other things on his list that would be great too if he manages them. Term limits and real checks on revolving door lobbying come to mind.
He will also do and try some stuff that is completely boneheaded and indefensible for those of us who get the bigger picture.
What your not going to see is the histrionic projections of the propaganda deluded protesters come true. i.e. a Hitler like character rounding up gays and minorities and sending them to concentration camps.
If you've been paying attention to how he has strategically modulated his positions over time and relative to realities of the election cycle, the most likely outcome is that he will continue to modulate his stance moving to the center. now that he has won. You are already seeing that with his trial balloon on ACA that he might modify to keep pre existing conditions rather than scrap the whole thing. Expect more revelations that will even piss of his base.
Trump is an entertainer at heart and he knows how to work a crowd. He is driven by his ego needing to be seen as HUGELY successful. His crowd now includes the whole country and I expect he will position himself to succeed with that audience.
Success for a politician is all about reelection. He has to deliver on key change elements for his base vis a vie cleaning the swamp and he needs to assuage fears that he is what he has been painted as by the HRC campaign and their communication division, the MSM.
