I predicted a rise in Nationalism and all of the hatred boiling over to this which some Dems have pushed Repubs towards. I predicted another crash worse than the last one. I do not say it though till I know for sure. That is going by gut instinct. Being an ISFJ stinks sometimes. Now you see why I was so scared. I do not go by stars. I go by actions now, in the past and predict the reaction.

Actually I expected this election to closer in many ways than it actually turned out.  Truth is, an economic crisis was already baked into the cake.  The best anyone could do is delay it with the unfortunate consequence of having an even worse crisis later.  Given the current state of the US it would be best if the government would quite bombing the middle east and antagonizing Russia.  As I have said before, " I am not certain that Trump is the answer but it is clear that Hillary isn't".

Take if from someone who has watched Trump longer than you have been alive.  Trump is not self destructive, not even in his younger days.  Now that he is seventy with children and grand-children it seems unlikely that will have changed.  Remember, that I am an Xer with an over-developed sense of self-preservation.  I have had to take risks but I don't take stupid ones and tend to win more than I lose.

As for the election: so much for astrology.  You are absolutely correct about that.

We are entering the second half of the fourth turning and its going to be a bumpy ride.  I think our odds of survival have increased greatly.
