How could Americans be so dumb as to put into the Oval Office a lying racist tax-avoiding billionaire chancer accused of a series of sexual assaults?

Poisonous Donald Trump, the polarising venom-filled onetime TV ego within groping distance of the Presidency, would turn the USA into one long reality horror show.

Putting the white into a White House built by slaves, demonising Blacks, Mexicans and Muslims to identify just three of a prejudiced President-in-waiting's targets, will be a four-year nightmare as he deepens painful scars.

Americans struggling to make ends meet on stagnating incomes or worried about jobs will quickly discover the turbo capitalist is no saviour when he undermines the minimum wage for them and gifts big tax cuts to his country club wealthy elite.

Trump lied, lied then lied again in the contest and it is only dictators, elected or otherwise, who threaten to jail opponents - as he did with Hillary Clinton and the unstable slime ball's mob was chanting "lock her up" earlier today.

Russian Tsar Vladimir Putin will be celebrating Trump's triumph in the Kremlin but for a Britain battered by Brexit shockwaves the relationship over the Atlantic is now fractured too.

Darwin's theory of evolution doesn't apply to a US which is likely to go from urbane, sophisticated Barack Obama to a Right-wing Neanderthal who gives knuckle-draggers a bad name.

Instead of the first woman President the 45th is odds on to be a creep who boasts of grabbing women .

If this election was rigged it was by the FBI's director with his explosive unfounded smear against Clinton who must conduct her own post-mortem.

But what have you done, America? You, and we, will surely regret a President Trump.
