No the danger is not so much his legislative program but his mouth.
The xenophobic rhetoric is highly dangerous because at this very moment, far right organisations around the globe are cheering, emboldened by this victory.
This is particularly dangerous in Europe at the moment where far right groups no longer sit in the shadows.
Yes the far right are sadly prominent in Europe Rob, but why?
I suggest that the reasons were made in the USA by Clinton's donors and those she represented: Wall St banks and the Military Industrial Complex.
A massive influx of refugees fleeing the US regime change wars pushed by the people that have hijacked the foreign policy of the US. People that fully supported Hillary.
A bleak economic situation caused by the banks like Goldman Sachs who nearly destroyed the global economy. Of course they're even bigger supporters of Hillary.
Globalism, which drives down wages, exacerbating the problems people face because of this weak global economy caused by Hillary's backers, which nobody pushes harder than George Soros, Hillary's biggest backer.
All foisted upon Europe with the full support of Europe's so-called 'leaders'.
Trump may be many things but at least he opposes these wars that have caused so much mayhem, wars that his opponent loves!
He seems to be aware of the problems that globalism is causing too, whereas his opponent can't get enough of it.
His ugly way of highlighting these problems being a major worry.
Of course, Hillary's husband set the stage for the 2008 financial crash which many blame on the dummy: Bush, when he repealed glass-Steagall, thus allowing the banks that paid him and his wife tens of millions of Dollars for 'speaking' to almost destroy the world economy. The same banks that supported her, who she represented and who 'chose' Obama's cabinet.
So we see the ugly far right gain in popularity all over Europe. Marine Le Pen set as she is to become the leader of France, a country hit harder than anyone by terrorist attacks carried out by a group - supported by the same Saudi and Qatari governments that also gave dozens of millions of Dollars to the Clinton Foundation: ISIS - that rose from the ashes of the aforementioned wars that Hillary's biggest fans, the Neocons, brought about.
She even knew these governments were supporting ISIS yet she still took their money!
Hillary, the supposed champion of liberal values who's nothing more than a morally defunct financial prostitute who fully supported all of the acts that set the stage for the rise of the far right, and the wars with all their inherent death and destruction, and misery.
Trump is most certainly not the answer, but the ugliness that he displays openly is less damaging IMO than the ugliness that Hillary hid behind a veneer of so-called 'liberal values'.
I hope the far right aren't emboldened by his win. I also hope those on the left and in the centre realise why Trump gained power, and why a Le Pen might, and that we must do something about the problems driving people into their arms, rather than just condemn them.
