You were ever not on board?
Well, I never really liked Trump, with his penchant for stupid remarks and his ostentatious, gauche lifestyle. I mean, in my heart of hearts I wanted John Kasich to be the Republican nominee, because he would certainly have rolled right over Hillary, but I knew that was unlikely and so I gravitated to Trump, in part because he was winning and in part because I did like the way he (insincerely or not) took a large axe to a number of the left's shibboleths. Frankly I also liked the way he made the media and all those academics and other professional prognosticators feel uncomfortable. But, yeah, I don't really like him and I don't really trust him, but ultimately he was the only person capable of defeating the candidate of the left in this election, and as such has put the party of the right back in charge of the country, so I'll give him credit for that.
Also, I
tentatively hope that Trump in the White House might make leaving the European Union a bit easier, and whilst my hopes aren't particularly high there, I can't see how having Hillary Clinton in the White House would have benefited us more in that regard.
