Perhaps he should be sleeping at night instead of engaging in a Twitter war at 3 am over ex- beauty pageant contestants.
Actually I think your statement is ridiculous and uninformed.

Bruce Springsteen calling Trump "a moron" is hardly a green light towards his own fans that they should consider the policies of both candidates but he thinks one is better because of such and such. George Clooney also behaved like a child by proclaiming "There is not going to be a president Trump, nah we are not going to go down this path." It is not solely up to George and Bruce or any celeb who becomes president. It is up to the people in the entire country and going by the electoral college votes they overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Yes I think the elitist behaviour shown by Bruce / George and the celebs who claimed they would move to Canada if Trump won were trying to use their celeb status to influence people's minds to the point "don't vote for that because that is not really an option".

If you have countless of business ideas and companies of course some will fail yes. He came from an era before you could make billions from a single online idea. What Trump has tried over his lifetime is probably far more difficult than what Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg or a Jack Dorsey have done I would argue. His businesses have dealt with services, properties and physical products. All very competitive and most businesses in all these sectors fail.

The Alicia Machado case was the most ridiculous strategy of the corrupt DNC campaign. A woman who was a getaway driver at a robbery, had a drug dealing boyfriend and had sex on a big brother style show (knowing that cameras are watching her). And I should feel sorry for her because Trump called her fat or miss piggy? In 1998/99 he tried for a while to get her to lose weight and defended her (See video of him talking to reporters and saying "well we all like to eat right, I like it too so this is something we are going to deal with with Alicia" if you really care). If you go into the industry of modelling then don't be surprised you will lose your job or get bad comments if you don't look after your body. If this harsh reality is too much for a snowflake to take don't enter a beauty pageant. Am I supposed to be impressed by Hillary Clinton who thinks THIS is more important to bring up in a presidential debate rather than Isis beheading countless of people or the immigration problem caused by overthrowing Gadaffi (another Hillary special) or dealing with Islamic terrorist attacks in the US and beyond? Come on.

DNC paid protestors $1500 and an iPhone each. If you care about physical violence / dirty election tactics / pay for play / collusion and corruption you only need to read around 1% of the Podesta Wikileaks emails to see it is an absolute blessing that Hillary Clinton didn't win. How they destroyed Bernie Sanders (see emails) and then asked for his support is absolutely disgusting. His legacy is ruined all to try to get Hillary in the White House, that is the only thing they cared about.

I can't wait until Trump's supporters realize how they were duped and lied to- he's not going to come through on his unrealistic promises. It will be very interesting to see what happens then.
Well if Trump sucks in 4 years your country can do this all again.
What I find disturbing instead of Trump winning, is the fact there are millions in the US who seem eager for him to fail. Sad. Young "protestors" now burning the stars and stripes outside of Trump tower and wanting a Hillary win is something the Hillary supporters should think about. It is no good having people like that on your side, it reeks of anti USA, anti patriotism and frankly self loathing. Oh and don't bring up the David Duke thing in defence. Hillary has KKK supporters too. It is meaningless. The main stream media doesn't seem to get by shoving their support for Hillary down people's throats and covering for her lies the voters got sick of it and seeked unbiased information on Trump via online sources. Thank goodness for the internet.

In 4 years hopefully the DNC will come up with a candidate who is not being investigated by the FBI and who wants to improve the lives of Americans rather than just try to run a default winning strategy of "I am the woman so I deserve to win". The sympathy and feminist strategies used by Hillary backfired and rightly so. When she jokes around feeling intimidated by Trump suppossedly stalking her on the stage during the 2nd presidential debate (he didn't, she walked into his space constantly), this is a sign of complete weakness. Subconsciously voters were asking "Hmm and she is going to defend this country and that scared her?"

When some of the supporters of Hillary are as stupid as this guy it's quite obvious why she lost:
