US presidential elections - NOT amateur radio

The people of the USA have elected their president for the next 4 years in an election. 

The outgoing president has, allegedly, issued preemptive pardons to prevent the incoming president "going after" those who opposed him in the past. 

I truly hope the incoming president is above such things and continues to uphold all that is best about democracy and sees peace around the world as an honourable aim.

Thank you for the well wishes. Unfortunately, this man has proven himself to be somewhat of a despot in his personal life. He will sow discord, divisiveness, and use distraction to further enrich himself and his oligarchs. It is with true sadness that I witness the support that such a human being has been given in this country. As Eisenhower warned of the ‘military-industrial complex’ we are now faced with the ‘economic-industrial complex’ however instead of in the name of national defense, it is in the name of profit. Please remember as you encounter Americans that not all support the ideals espoused by this man. I hope yours and other countries in the west can keep the ideals of democracy and freedom alive while we endure this dark time in our history. History will be the judge of our decision.
