Writing was on the wall for things like this to happen if he took office. Pretty much every time he opened his mouth during the election you (well...people who were paying attention) understood that this is a man who stands fundamentally opposed to many of the democratic principles that western society holds dear (and clearly takes for granted).

The sad irony is, if the man was less terrible than he actually is, he probably would have seemed worse than a large percentage perceived him to be. Because every time he opened his mouth, there were so many red flags to unpack and take time to actually dissect, that there really wasn't time to even give it all it's proper due and focus on it. I mean by the time he finished saying one outrageous thing, it was straight onto the next before anyone even had time to exhale.
