In the '''2016 United States presidential election''', Republican [[Donald J. Trump]] defeated Democrat [[Hillary Clinton]]. The election was held on November 8, 2016. Trump was inaugurated as the forty-fifth president on January 20. Indiana Governor [[Mike Pence]], Trump's running mate, was inaugurated as vice president at the same time. Few predicted that Trump would win before the election and the result was a historic upset.<ref name="HistoricUpset"/>

Hillary Clinton's shapeshifting was on full display in the 2016 Democrat primaries. At first she posed as an experienced diplomat, [[national security]] expert, and statesman. But that didn't get her anywhere.<ref>See for example Hillary's speech on "The Crisis of Meaning" delivered in Austin Texas, 6 April 1993. ~~http~~://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/23/magazine/saint-hillary.html?pagewanted=all</ref> So she appealed to the [[center]] by saying economists claimed Bernie Sanders promises were crazy and would bankrupt America.<ref>http://fortune.com/2016/02/17/bernie-sanders-open-letter/</ref> But that didn't gain any traction either. After the nomination she was matching or trying to outdo Sanders' pie-in-the-sky rhetoric by promising hundreds of billions for student aid to prepare young people for jobs that don't exist. Public Service Ads at one time ran saying, "Get a good job, get a good education". Then came an explosion of government handouts in the form of student loans. Then, in the bait and switch arrangement, students graduated only to find their jobs shipped overseas as the result of government negotiated trade agreements or the US economy's inability to create new jobs bankrupted by government mandated [[entitlement]] programs. Recent graduates found themselves [[serf]]s of the [[IRS]] with no way to repay the debt delivering pizzas.<ref>[http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2016/01/student_loan_crisis_at_its_ugliest_i_graduated_and_found_out_i_owe_200_000.html]</ref> What would be the way to reform the crisis? Increase [[capital]] formation to create new jobs? Not in the Democrat program. As Bernie Sanders proposed, and Hillary adopted, increase public treasury debt so that all young adults can go to college to graduate and find no jobs.

Public Service Ads at one time ran saying, "Get a good job, get a good education". Then came an explosion of government handouts in the form of student loans. Then, in the bait and switch arrangement, students graduated only to find their jobs shipped overseas as the result of government negotiated trade agreements or the US economy's inability to create new jobs bankrupted by government mandated [[entitlement]] programs. Recent graduates found themselves [[serf]]s of the [[IRS]] with no way to repay the debt delivering pizzas.<ref>[http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2016/01/student_loan_crisis_at_its_ugliest_i_graduated_and_found_out_i_owe_200_000.html]</ref> What would be the way to reform the crisis? Increase [[capital]] formation to create new jobs? Not in the Democrat program. As Bernie Sanders proposed, and Hillary adopted, increase public treasury debt so that all young adults can go to college to graduate and find no jobs.

At the final presidential debate between [[Hillary Clinton]] and Trump on October 19, 2016, Clinton chastised Trump for running a newspaper advertisement in 1987 critical of the [[Reagan Administration]]. But Trump persuasively explained that he has always disagreed with Reagan's support of free trade, as many other [[conservatives]] disagree with Reagan on this issue.

=====FBI paid off=====

[[Virginia]] Gov. [[Terry McAuliffe]] was co-chairman of President [[Bill Clinton]]'s 1996 re-election campaign. In that capacity he was a very successful fundraiser. Consequently, when the Clintons left the [[White House]] in 2001, he was rewarded with the chairmanship of the Democrat Party. In 2008 he was chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. In May 2016 McAuliffe came under FBI investigation for illegal campaign donations from a [[Chinese]] businessman.<ref>~~http~~://www.cnn.com/2016/05/23/politics/terry-mcauliffe-fbi-doj-federal-investigation-campaign-contributions/</ref> McAuliffe invited the same man to Hillary Clinton's Washington DC home to meet Hillary.<ref>http://time.com/4348675/terry-mcauliffe-hillary-clinton-china-investigation/</ref><ref>http://www.dailymail.co.uk/embed/video/1294661.html</ref>

Throughout the email probe when things looked darkest even to loyal Democrats and partisan surrogates, Hillary woukd smuggly reiterated, " I am confident they'll find nothing." The reason became apparent readily enough.

McAuliffe’s political-action committee, Common Good VA, donated $467,500 to the 2015 state [[Senate]] campaign of Dr. Jill McCabe, who is married to Andrew McCabe, who later became deputy director of the FBI. The Virginia Democrat Party, over which McAuliffe exerts considerable control, donated an additional $207,788 worth of support to Dr. McCabe’s campaign in the form of mailers, according to the records. That adds up to slightly more than $675,000 to her candidacy from entities either directly under Mr. McAuliffe’s control or strongly influenced by him. The figure represents more than a third of all the campaign funds Dr. McCabe raised in the effort. Responding to a ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' exposé on the Clinton pay-to-play scandals, [[FBI]] issued a press release:

{{Quotebox|Months after the completion of her campaign, then-Associate Deputy Director McCabe was promoted to Deputy, where, in that position, he assumed for the first time, an oversight role in the investigation into Secretary Clinton’s emails.}}

At the time the Clinton email probe was launched in July 2015, McCabe was running the FBI’s [[Washington, D.C.]], field office, which provided personnel and resources to the Clinton email probe. At the end of July 2015, McCabe was promoted to FBI headquarters and assumed the No. 3 position at the agency. In February 2016, he became FBI Director [[James Comey]]’s second-in-command. As deputy director, McCabe was part of the executive leadership team overseeing the Clinton email investigation. McCabe was instrumental in supervising Hillary's investigation the subsequently clearing her.<ref>http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-24/prominent-democrat-connected-clintons-donated-675000-campaign-deputy-fbi-directors-w</ref> Some investigators wanted to combine the McAullife investigation with the investigation into bribery and influence peddling through the Clinton Foundation.

In 1992 for the first time in nearly half a century the party platform made no mention of redressing racial injustice. Through triangulation and a policy of "get tough on crime", the Clintons sought to repudiate and distance themselves from the Democrat Party's commitment to the struggles of [[African-American]]s. The Clintons formulated a crime bill purportedly to 'put 100,000 new cops on the street'. Hillary became one of the chief spokespersons referring to black teens as dogs.

So they paid North Korea to build a bomb so long as North Korea didn't roll it out before Bill was reelected, or despoil his legacy in his second term.<ref>''Legacy of Ashes : The History of the CIA'', Tim Weiner, Random House, 2008, p. 439</ref> It was little surprise to observers when North Korea tested a bomb in 2002.<ref>http://www.nbcnews.com/id/5981265/</ref> Quite literally, the Clintons kicked the can down the road, showing no leadership, cynically allowing nuclear weapons to proliferate to advance their own ambitions and careers.

Putin warned that the Russians do not view the missile defense system as a defensive system at all.<ref>https://youtu.be/kqD8lIdIMRo</ref> The system has the capability of a first strike launch to destroy the entire Russian land based nuclear arsenal when it's in range on Russia's borders. Deployment Putin would consider provocative. President Obama, after decades of trashing Ronald Reagan as a reckless nuclear war hawk for the Strategic Defense Initiative (AKA "Star Wars"), and [[George W. Bush]] for allegedly reigniting the Cold War, Obama ignored Putin's warning and deployed the missile defense system in Romania.<ref>http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/218188</ref> This was done, the administration said, to guard against Iranian nukes, despite the fact Obama said it would be at 13 years at a minimum before Iran had a nuke in the recently completed Iran nuke deal.
