So have all those loser Hollywood actors moved to Canada yet?  Has a single one?

Hard to tell.....Are they moving to Toronto, or just there on a long-term film contract?

Maybe they're waiting to see how much he is willing to pay them, or what he will give them, to perform at his inauguration?

If 16 year old Jackie Evancho counts as a "celebrity," then the claim that "no" celebrities will perform at his inauguration is not true in a literal sense.

More on Americans - not just the rich and famous - wishing to move to Canada,

Not as easy as some may wish.

There may be other reasons to flee.

These Hollywood "celebrities" are mainly actors, industry workers who have about as much experience running a government as a community organizer or a part time drama teacher/snowboarder.

Staying in the US means they will get a big tax cut Federally.

In spite of being the oldest ever, the President-elect will have a bit of a learning curve.

Donald Trump will be the only US president ever with no political or military experience
http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/11/13587532/donald-trump-no-experience

"In the office’s storied 227-year existence — from George Washington to Barack Obama — there has never been a president-elect who has entirely lacked both political and military service. Donald Trump will change that."

 

[Loachman]

Obama.

Carter.

Both duds, despite their experience.

Mr Trump understands business, though, and much of that experience will serve him well. He's picking good people, too, and they are not likely to reach the levels of corruption that Obama's minions did.

 

[Rifleman62]

Or Canada's Liberals.

The irony.  Wanting to flee their country because the president elect wants to enforce standards for immigration and then finding out that said country has standards for immigration that make it challenging to immigrate...

Because War isn't a major business export of the US and Trump a business man?

 

[Old Sweat]

Actually, he served three terms in the Illinois State Senate and was a serving US Senator when he ran for president.

He may know real estate and the financing involved with it but has no viable experience with manufacturing, transportation, telecommunications, health services, education, public services or infrastructure, the military, raw material extraction; I could go on and on. When he tried an airline he failed. When he tried sports he failed. Hell, even when he tried retailing meat, he failed.

Please stop telling us that he "knows" business and that this will somehow make up for his inexperience in government. It won't. With the exception of General Mattis (who I think might be a good Secretary of Defence), his cabinet picks are equally unqualified. His other selections remind me of when McNamara (a good Ford executive) was made Secretary of Defence and completely screwed the pooch. Most of Trump's picks have minimal--at best--qualifications for their portfolios but they do come loaded with self-interest issues and private agendas.

If you honestly think that Carter and Obama's administrations were corrupt then keep your eyes open on the future. You ain't seen nuthin' yet. The US is about to go back to the age of the robber barons.  :2c:

All legislative; none of it executive.

Or an oil-company mailroom guy who's done nothing but NGO work before getting into politics, right?

Actually Obama was a US Senator with no real world experience.Eight years later we are looking at a Republican with real executive experience running a billion dollar enterpise. Lets not debate who has experience. Hillary had slightly more experience than Obama did,but hers came with a few bodies.

ok

Reading some of the comments in this thread, I must confess to a certain curiosity about the demographics in Radio Chatter.
Of course, that's none of my business.

But, if interested in voter demographics,

Mrs. Clinton is in the first column.  Mr. Trump is in the second.

Popular Vote as of December 19

65,844,594  62,979,616

Race/ethnicity

White  37  58
Black  88    8 
Asian  65  29 
Other  56  37 
Hispanic (of any race)  65  29

White evangelical or born-again Christian 16  81
Jewish 71  24

White no college degree  28  67

Rural areas  34  62

Issue regarded as most important

Foreign policy  60  34

These are a few I found of interest, there are many more that others may, or may not, find of interest.

2016 Presidential vote by demographic subgroup

I also found this of interest,

2016 United States election interference by Russia

[tomahawk6]

With the utmost respect Mario I disagree.Demographics has nothing to do with experience.Obama was a political agitator err community organizer,then he was elected to the Senate.Prior to his election he had zero executive experience.Clinton also was a Senator and then became Sec State.Her tenure was a mixed bag. Trump runs a billion dollar business with loads of experience managing people and money. I voted for experience. :warstory:
