Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call.

The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!

This next 4 years would be so fun if then we could just wake up again in mid-2016.

Sell Taiwan the older Ticos. It'll be a YUGE deal.

The best Tico bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill.  I love Hispanics!

The US is a pretty great country compared to most others, but that is mostly because the others have their own historical baggage to contend with as well - there is a real problem that we, meaning human societies, have yet to figure out how to make social, political, and economic advancement happen in a controlled, predictable manner. We simply have no idea how to implement new structures while maintaining the emotional faith in institutions that are necessary for rule of law and respect for those institutions. It seems like the only way we enact real structural political change is by radical violence and overthrow. There is little or no meaningful incremental change.

The US made meaningful peaceful changes to it's political and governing structure in the 1900-1910s, the 1930s and the 1960s with the progressive reforms and amendments, the New Deal and the Civil Rights Acts. They occurred because there was significant civil unrest within the country.

Despite how many people bitch on social media today and the fact that they have real serious problems, that kind of social unrest currently does not exist, and thus there has been no recent changes of similar magnitude.  If Trump's as bad as people think, we could get that unrest, which would spur change. If he's better than expected, we won't. It's really that simple.

You know, I by no means saying that Trump is a new Teddy Roosevelt, but people thought that Roosevelt was a loose cannon, too.

Teddy Roosevelt could afford to be a loose cannon in 1901. The United States in 2016 cannot.

He wasn't really a lose cannon when in office though.
