Meh. I prefer Trump by a /small/ margin; better chaos and gridlock in DC than a massive, well coordinated murder machine IMO. I'm sentimental: I hate to see millions of people slaughtered so a handful of billionaires can keep growing their wealth & power right up to the collapse of our present civilization. In the case of Trump vs. Clinton, better to roll the dice than accept a status quo that assures the highest obtainable body count.
But I don't see a Yuge victory for the humans here, only a new set of problems that /may/ be more tractable than those presented by Clinton.
I was rather shocked by the election results, because I have kept an eye on developments in election rigging over the years. Given the aggregate power of entrenched interests sponsoring Clinton and the scale of the cash flows that Trump's election have placed in jeopardy, I did not expect a Trump win to be permitted. Maybe someday we will find out what happened behind the scenes - and whether the FBI director's strange behavior had anything to do with it.
Before election day chop wood, carry water, smash the State. After election day chop wood, carry water, smash the State.
