Lowest approval rating of an incoming president (ever?) at around 40%. Transition in disarray. Oldest first term president ever. Ethics officers say his 'divestment plans', such as they are, are wholly inadequate. He is the single greatest dividing force the US has ever witnessed.

Yes congratulations to our American cousins indeed.
Welcome to day one of the failed Trump administration.

Someone is watching too much CBC.
High energy turn out evident almost everywhere on Friday. I was in Nevada and the crowds were cheering most of the day.
Massive protests in traditionally "progressive" areas. Nothing new there, riots too, again nothing new, just another reason.
Poll results have been particularly inaccurate of late but if you want to use poll numbers feel free.
Transition smooth, Democrats attempting unsuccessfully to delay the inevitable.
Strange that anyone who was not a racist would look at the race and gender of a person rather than his merit when deciding capability. The biggest problem the previous administration had was promoting diversity over competence. It will be a welcome change to see real adults working on problems rather than token minorities operating as political hacks.
I am looking forward to Trump making the progressives look like the idiots they are.
