Terri, seeing as you have raised the subject, how is it even remotely viable that after so many American celebrities and politicians have been sacked or forced to resign over claims of sexual harassment, and yet Trump, who bragged about his own blatant contemptible behavior with women, is still the President of the United States? I can see that the GOP wants to hang on to power at any cost, but at what point does their ever decreasing credibility make their position no longer tenable?

It seems in America, that a lot of interest groups may support a certain candidate - lobby groups for example. So, perhaps lobby groups with interests in Izrael, says to Trump, 'we'll give you lots and lots of money if you make Jerusalem the capital.'
Don't known if he 'bought the presidency' more like he was given it under certain conditions.
I think the irony here is that if he lost the election, the election was rigged - he was going on and on during the campaign about how the election may be rigged. Well, maybe it WAS rigged, so that it would rather be impossible for him to lose! (Russian hacking?) Hence saying if he lost, the election was rigged as he was assured of a win by special interest groups!
The unexpected happened! We're in for quite a ride, with Trump, Brexit, North Korea...roll on 2018 
So Dag as a patriotic arean, blue eyed Norwegian will you be lining up outside the US embassy in Oslo on Monday morning to get your green card 
I'd be furious if I was from Norway being associated with what's acceptable to this disgusting racist president -but to be fair he's a 'stable genius' which means he's the total reverse.
I find watching American television amusing as the commentators all think we want to go there-they say it's the greatest country in the world-and it's clearly not. If that's true why is tourism to the US down by 11% and who would want to live somewhere with lousy health care when we get it for free and where there is a massacre with machine guns often involving kids every two months and nothing gets done in order to protect the profits of the arms manufacturers. America is great if you have money but for most of the population the system doesn't work. They are currently taking millions out of health care to give gigantic tax cuts to billionaires and corporations, but find the money to spend another $150 billion on defence. The truth is America is a expansionist colonial power with over 200 military bases worldwide -why? What business is it of the US what they do in Angola or the Ukraine. I'm generally pro America but would like to see the UK distance itself from the US as the political elite are simply out of control. For me getting out of NATO and having a dedicated European army/defence force is the way forward. Americans don't realise that the EU is the worlds biggest economy by far, bigger than the US and China and we don't need to depend on America for anything. We can be friends with them but it's time to stop being in their shadow and start projecting true 21st century values, not the philosophy of the wild west where size matters in hand guns and nuclear buttons. We forget that the US has been a super power for less than a hundred years so they are new at it and might improve if politics becomes an honourable profession again not just a vector to obtain wealth and power.
