In the first instance I think you have to pipe down, accept he won, re-group, think about what went wrong, think about how to beat him in four years.
Trump is one of the only politicians any of us have ever seen who does this:
1. I am making this promise.
2. Now I am delivering on this promise.
Now, given that, he's taking a huge risk with his base. If he cannot deliver his promise, if he screws things up, they will turn against him. If he doesn't, then hey ho, a good economy is a good thing right.
But if he does screw up, then you can start to really hurt him.
This stuff, this stuff right here, only makes him stronger.
He can turn and say "look, these elites are trying to stop the will of you, the people".
He can say "look, we were right, they are sore losers and they cannot take it, and they want to keep you down"
etc. etc.
Got to be smarter than this. If things continue this way, mark my words, Trump will win again. And after him someone like him again. And again.
And so on, until people learn the lessons of 2016.
Same here in the UK too.
