00:00Donald Trump has been elected the next president of the United States.

00:03What do people in the UK have to say?

00:04I'm not overjoyed about it.

00:05I feel like this is terrible, guys.

00:07Why vote him in again? He's a criminal.

00:10People aren't really for like the woke culture in America, so I'm not surprised.

00:14I had the choice to go to the US.

00:15I did not go because I knew that there was going to be Trump out there.

00:18If you were to have voted in this election, who would you have voted for?

00:21I feel like if I say who I'm going to vote for, then they'll be hated.

00:26I would have voted for Kamala Harris.

00:28I probably would have voted for Harris.

00:30I would vote for Trump, probably.

00:31She's been, you know, pro-choice and things like that, which I'm very much for.

00:35I wouldn't have voted for Kamala Harris.

00:37Did you vote?

00:38I didn't vote.

00:39Can you vote?

00:40I can vote, yeah.

00:41Why do you think he's won?

00:42Because there's too many lunatics in America, basically, that just think he's wonderful.

00:48It's cult-like. It's gotten to a point where there is just such an indoctrined belief

00:52in him that he can say whatever he wants and he has.

00:56And people have been like, yeah, but it's Trump.

00:57We forgive him.

00:58Yeah, but it's Trump.

00:58We forget.

00:59And it's like...

00:59There's a lot of polarisation and volatility, you know, so I hope that comes to an end.

01:05I didn't agree with Trump, but democracy won and democracy voted for Trump.

01:08God bless America.
