00:00Having Donald Trump elected as president isn't great because especially his views

00:05on women's rights and abortions in America is something that is an issue

00:11and I do think Kamala Harris would have been a better president.

00:17I have quite a lot of American friends so I'm kind of in this bubble of people who

00:21are also reacting to it I think it's as someone obviously who isn't living in

00:27America it's just it's quite baffling to see the people of a country vote someone

00:31in as their their leader who is convicted of multiple felonies and has

00:37been impeached twice.

00:38I wanted Trump back in, obviously it doesn't apply to us at all, but you know I just think he's

00:43moral he's got good morals for the country and he'll do whatever is

00:47necessary to keep it all safe.

00:48I actually think it's really scary as a trans person all the

00:53transphobic rhetoric that Donald Trump and his supporters come out with

00:56is actually really scary for me both myself and my girlfriend we have

01:00friends in America and I know they're very worried and even making plans to

01:04leave America if they can.

01:05I think he will bring a big change and a big

01:09challenge also in the future in the world. It's positive and negative.

01:17I just like Trump, he's just quite funny, he's good at golf, I just like him.

01:25I'm not really surprised Trump got back in because he has got a lot of supporters but I don't know.

01:30I mean it's the whole MAGA thing isn't it, it's plastered everywhere isn't it?

01:34They've got like a pretty much a whole merch thing going on with MAGA,

01:39Make America Great Again and all those.

01:43I'm not surprised is what I'm saying, I'm not surprised that that is the outcome.

01:47My heart aches for especially like the women that I know who live in America

01:51because it's just it's abhorrent the things that he's said and done and

01:54things he might be planning to put in action now he's regained control.
