Your corrupt party (read: fucking over Bernie by rigging that primary to ignore your voters' wanted candidate to get your own candidate in) put up a corrupt candidate to go against a hotel company CEO and couldn't even win.
Also, people need to chill the fuck out. The stock market was always going to drop today. The trends reflected that. The American economy wasn't booming. Hopefully trump can help get people working again and turn this garbage (read: your savings account interest rates) economy around.
Yeah, market will bounce back, but not sure of the long term growth as it depends on what he does with trade agreements. If he threatens to pull out of them, that may lead to an increase in tariffs, and the cost of goods will rise. Hopefully, he does not do that and instead keeps the current trade deals once he figures out pulling out of them would hurt prices of everyday goods.

Maybe he just played the crazy, sexist bigot to get elected and now he'll actually get to work on the country? Who knows. I'm rooting for him though. Love him or hate him, he is our president now and I'll be hoping he can make a positive difference.
He will be our President and I do hope he does maintain that rationality. I also hope he does not listen to the crazies and instead takes a moderate approach.
