The 78-year-old Republican overcame countless campaign controversies in his quest to serve a rare non-consecutive term as U.S. president, becoming the first convicted felon and oldest person to win the office. The American people have spoken. How do you feel today about our new president-elect? Let’s talk about it…

Lisa Ayres: “I am shocked and disappointed. Concerned for the future of my children.”

Robert Vasquez: “We have a real President in the White House.”

Henry Shamdas: “All those who think this was a good choice would you let your daughters be around this man? Would you let him speak to her the way he does about others? Character matters and so does the economy but research economic trends and why inflation occurred and you’ll see it was Biden. Lying, disinformation, cheating and debasing people are not ok. But it is what it is. Let’s see what he does with healthcare and the dept of education.”

Maggie Marin: “Only time will tell if we will regret this.”

Joey Gonzales III: “This is America’s reflection now, this represents who we all are now.”

Kevin Menrad: “Popular vote and electoral landslide close. The silent majority has spoken.”

Sandra Valadez; “Kamala as always couldn’t even address her supporters, it was never about the People of the United States, it was all about her!”

Veronica Lugo Rodriguez: “Sad 4 years to come, let’s see if you MAGA voters made the right choice and hope he does what he’s gonna do. Lord……watch over the women and our fellow immigrants, you were an immigrant yourself. Keep them safe.”

Michael Barnes: “lol biggest democratic loss since 1988. That was not close…”

Lisa Ortiz Kusmiez: “She couldn’t even come out and address all the people who voted for her or even the people who waited hours for the vote to come in. I get being upset about a loss but not even coming out to address your supporters. VERY SAD! This tells you everything you need to know about her.”

Edwardo Espinoza: “America is Great again!”

Gabe Marquez: “Lots of blue tears this morning!”

Paul Delgado: “This country turning into Rome like Caesar let’s root and vote for a Conman and worship him.”

Gil Mata: “I knew how many men hated women but I didn’t realize how many women hated women. Shame on American women.”

Michael Suarez: “We gotta remember: we are all American. United we stand. Divided we fall.”

Diane Aguirre Martinez: “I have the emptiness inside of me that wasn’t there yesterday.”

Mark Dice: “More blacks and latinos voted for Donald Trump this time despite the Democrats and the liberal media smearing him as a racist and loving Hitler for the last eight years.”

Rebekah Gray Mullins: “Congratulations to our 47th President Trump!! Incredible! Thanks to the Lord and to the American people.”

Sharon Young: “Prayers of thanksgiving! Now praying for peace from the left and there be a new dialogue across the media. President Trump was an outstanding President already and the fake news and democrats to push the outright lie of the end of freedom or democracy, needs to stop.”

Scott Combs Sr.:“God and Trump are all we need. God bless America.”

Bella Blu: “Texas we have to do better!!!”

Christine Jones: “Unbelievable.”

Dan Mathews Sr.: “Obviously cheating took place so he will not accept those results.”

Rudy Villarreal: “Trump is going to win it all. The economy needs fixing badly. Thank the grocery stores, department stores, and gas stations for the Trump win.”

Sylvia Stansell: “God help us!”

Julie Locher: “It feels truly hopeless here.”

Nora Copithorn: “I am beyond broken today. I commend Kamala Harris for her strength and commitment to the American people. I believe if she had more time on her side, she would have prevailed. As this Gong show unravels and it will be a Gong show, people will see the errors of their choices. Words are cheap, actions will tell the outcome of this decision.I pray for the women, LGBTQ, people of color and immigrants of America.”

Jen Kinsel: “I remember being so optimistic at the DC show the Sunday before. But that was 8 years ago. We have kids now, and it hurts more this time. I don’t want my kids to grow up in a country where hate is tolerated and spread so easily.”
