First - Trump is not Modi. Modi is much better and experienced leader than Trump (or Clinton). I like Trump too.

Second - The entire election season was nasty. US is now seeing the real face of democracy with diversity.

Third - The voters did not have a great choice. If the elections were to occur like India, it would have ended up in a hung parliament. And that would be the worst thing to happen.

Fourth - Would you like if your job is offshored for low-costs? NO!... or Would you like to see veterans, elders or seniors live unhappily? NO!... The US (govt) will not be able to stop offshoring without allowing lower minimum pay. The only way to do that is by applying protectionist measures that will work in the short term. And most-likely that would weaken the currency over a longer term.
