Deportations, Huh? Trump's Grandfather Was Illegal Economic Migrant From Germany

Donald Trump's latest immigration proposals provide, among other things, for the deportation of millions of undocumented migrants living in the United States. Surprisingly, the new US President seems to forget that a member of his family, namely his grandfather, was none other than an illegal migrant arriving in the US in the 19th century.

Trump elected as President – risks and opportunities

So it has happened: Hillary did not win!  I say that instead of saying that “Trump won” because I consider the former even more important than the latter.  Why?  Because I have no idea whatsoever what Trump will do next.  I do, however, have an excellent idea of what Hillary would have done: war with Russia.  Trump most likely won’t do that.  In fact, he specifically said in his acceptance speech:

President Trump vs President Clinton … What Will Happen After Inauguration?

by Oleg Maslov

The time has come for the country with the largest economy and military in the world will soon go to the polls to choose a new leader for itself. Americans will elect a new president on November 8, 2016. However, the two main candidates running for the office of president in the general election have never been more different from each other. Hillary Clinton has lived in the White House as First Lady for 8 years, served as a senator, ran for president in 2008, and served as Secretary of State during Barack Obama’s first term, during which she oversaw the NATO intervention in Libya and the Benghazi crisis – in other words, a career politician. On the other hand, Donald Trump has never served in public office, instead dedicating his life to many different business ventures, some of which became runaway successes and others short-lived failures.
