Are you worried about Donald Trump becoming US president?

16th November 2016
LAST week, the American people voted for a different kind of leader to become their next president.
Donald Trump is not a politician but is a billionaire businessman. He is also known for starring in the US version of The Apprentice.
This, and some of the things he said during campaigning for the job, has made some people unhappy. But, in the US, it is impossible for one person to act alone, and he would need backing to act on some of his different ideas.
The two main parties are the Republicans and Democrats. Donald Trump is a Republican. There are more elected Republicans than Democrats, but many Republicans do not like Donald Trump’s ideas. They can all vote against him if they don’t like his plans. In the same way, many of outgoing President Barack Obama’s ideas couldn’t happen because he didn’t get support for them.
Many people who voted for Donald Trump did so because they don’t like what is happening in America right now, and they wanted change. For example,
they feel they have less money than before.
Donald Trump will become president in January when he gets the keys to America’s famous White House from Barack Obama.
After he won the election, Trump said he would build a country for everyone. He said: “Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division. We have to get together.”
He added that he would work with people from all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs who want and expect his government to serve the people.
He also reached out to the rest of the world, saying: “We will get along with all other nations willing to get along with us. We will have great relationships.”
Other world leaders have sent messages to Trump. Russia’s President Putin sent a message to congratulate him. And British Prime Minister Theresa May congratulated Trump on his election as the next US president after a “hard-fought campaign”.
Donald Trump’s term as president will be for four years. Then the American people can vote for him again or elect someone new.

Yes i am worried because he will create hate between the Mexicans and he has also been very racist and sexist.
That is why i do not think that Donald Trump should be the president of the United States of America.

Donald Trump will destroy the America that Obama has created.

I personally am not worried about the president-elect although i am Mexican-American living in London. I firmly believe that he will not be able to do anything major e.g. Building a wall or Banning Muslims ( or immigrants from Muslim/terrorist countries) I think that he will only be a major threat to the way the world will now see the US after having a Reality TV business star in their list as presidents. Since this, american will never be great again.

I voted no because Donald Trump has to much power and people think he got in to power because of his granddad. And it is basically Lord Sugar as a presided. Also he wants to banned muslims (it won't woke) and it is not fair imagine if I became presided and banned all the Cristian or all the Jews or all the blacks or all the whites or mixed rase if I banned one or the cultures would not be fair. So why does he gets the right to banned muslims?

I think people voted for him because they wanted change. I wonder what sort of change he will bring?!
hfrules · 8 years ago
I am not afraid because if he is dangerous I will always consider him to be a bad leader.
But we can't just assume that he is bad.
Maybe he might change.

He doesn't support climate action which is one of the global goals to be achieved and is scrapping a NASA station for money.

Donald Trump is ok for a president but in the past he has been raciest and sexist, causing a lot of americans not to vote for him. Hilary Clinton has been seen deleting impotent messages and she is said to have something hidden. personally, i would vote for hilary.
zachyf · 8 years ago
he is not fit to be USA president as he is only just a business man and is quite old and has no experiance.
pugglegirl · 8 years ago
We need to know that America voted for Trump because they believed he was the best for America. I personally think that Trump is right for them, because Hillary has a criminal record, and has been in jail

he is racist, sexist and has no experience in politics. i think it is dangerous for someone like that to be in charge of a country as big and powerful as the USA.

Not only is Trump bad enough, but Vice President Elect Pence wants to spend taxpayer's money on conversion therapy for young people in the LGBT community. This is horrific.

SunChip · 8 years ago
Before Trump can do anything, his ideas have to go through board. If he wants to set a law it has to go through the board. So if he has any crazy ideas at least the majority of the board will see this and can stop him. He can't do anything alone.

Donald Trump= He won't make america great again. What he means is make america white again. He will ruin the economy and possibly break out a civil war by his racist and sexist antics, then the americans will know what they've done and impeach him. Then Mike Pence will be president who is just as bad.

i think he will make America or even the world annoyed with him
because he is against loooooads if stuff like refugees

Donald Trump will not be a good president.

YES! the president of America is probably the most important person in the world ? ??

Trump is bad he's the worst ever president he wants no muslims to come in to America?
bluelion · 8 years ago
I am worried because he wants to build a wall so the Mexicans can't go to America. That is a very mean thing to do. He is a very dangerous man. America won't be a very good place with him as president. This still matters to us. We are part of the world. The Mexicans earn some respect from him more than anything else. Hillary Clinton should have been president. I am sure you will agree with me.
bluelion · 8 years ago
Trump is a trump /fart
He's an evil fart who will ruin the world
I am worried ??????????
Sparkle09 · 8 years ago
he's gonna start ww3 or something
happy4456 · 8 years ago
YES!!!!! Donald Trump is a racist man that is a spoilt and thinks that money is everything. He says he wants to make America great again, he only said that because he wanted to win the campaign and that's the only 'good' quote he could think of. He wants to build a great wall to keeps immigrants away (which i don't understand) as a MULTIPLE (yes, he had more than one!) of his wives are immigrants!
Personally, I despise the wicked man more than anything.
cordie · 8 years ago
I am worried because he may stop [ make it harder for] mexicans from seeing their family.
I would leave it for a while and see what he does.He has to go through a lot to make it happen though.

kawaii101 · 8 years ago
YES! I think that Donald Trump will have to change his attitude towards things.(I don't think he ever will!) Being president of America is a HUGE responsibility and that only some one kind-hearted and who has an intelligent mind filled with many good plans for the future of the country will be able to stand as a leader of the USA. I think that the USA is a great place full of many wonderful people. But with some one like Trump as president its hard to tell what might happen. I think that Barack Obama is some one that people look up to and admire. Obama was a great president, I not sure about Trump though...
peregrine9 · 8 years ago
We have to deal with it weather we like it or not; he may be dangerous and the things he says are wrong but, in the long run, he's not that bad and he might make good choices (although he just annihilated a Syrian airbase- not a great choice but you know...there's still time.)
shpee · 8 years ago
He hasn't even been in office for 3 months and he's already on the verge of war, still can't get it through his head that climate change exists and can't even keep his promises about healthcare. I'd say that he isn't doing too well. Seriously, the only thing that has really been that good so far (that I know of) is bombing that airbase in response to the gas attack and then the bombing of the hospital, both of which being war crimes that were probably performed by the Syrian government. He's not doing very well so far.
EllaChou · 8 years ago
I hate him so much
Perpetua · 8 years ago
He will start world war 3
elliefn123 · 8 years ago
Yes because he hardly ever does what he says he's going to do. Donald trump just thinks of himself and not many other people. Only his supporters.?
elliefn123 · 8 years ago
He also wants to build a wall between America and Mexico and Donald trump is getting the Mexicans to pay for it. Which is unfair!

ajmyles · 7 years ago
Nobody can read his mind
emperor · 7 years ago
Yes. He is a homophobe, a biphobe and a transphobe. He bans trans people from the army, which is appalling. He could potentially make everything in America bad.
In is inauguration he said,
'America First!' He may have said, 'America Worse!' Because that is the definition of his presidency.
He also says, 'we will make America great again.'
Is it not great now? When was it great? He means, lets step back into medieval age and discriminate people by their gender, colour and wealth!
