Trump won, opinions?

[AndreB]

Given that Trump officially won the US elections and I did not see a thread discussing it yet, I was wondering about your opinions.
The way it has been predicted in Germany, it will do significant damage to the German car industry, so Germany risks falling into an even deeper recession. BMW, Mercedes, and VW will all become American-German.

I saw a list of Trump's goals, policies and pledges a few days ago, until we see which ones he's actually going to enact I don't really think it's possible to predict the impact on European economies, or indeed if that'll be the biggest thing to worry about.

It became clear some time ago that America can't really be considered a reliable ally for Europe anymore, and as much as people recognise the need for greater independence from things like Russian energy and Chinese manufacturing, they really should factor dependence on the USA in the same way, even if it's just for defence.
