How about because the pound is only worth a few ounces?

For now but I'm optimistic that it will stabilise in time.

Goodbye EU!

He won't concede. He will instead complain loudly and publicly of election fraud, probably point to a load of unscientific polls that show him ahead in states he loses. He will then try and get as many recounts underway as possible. He will probably use a team of lawyers to challenge results in as many states as he can (and I believe he probably already has them prepared ahead of time). He might even take it to the Supreme Court like in the 2000 election.

Even after Clinton is inaugurated, he will continue spouting the election fraud theories publicly, along with mounting a campaign for the Republican ticket in 2020.

The Republicans will adopt a super-delegate system for the primaries just like the Democrats have, just to ensure that a person like Trump cannot become their nominee again.

       Your theory sounds about right, he will wine, bitch, and moan for the rest of his life about how he got cheated. I do want to add on to your theory though Tiberius if you don't mind.
My addition to it is; he will start his own political party and keep on trying to get what he was "cheated" out of since the regular Republicans will be calling in pest control to rid themselves of the bed bugs known as "Trump backers". I'm sure even George Bush is saying to himself "Wow, what an idiot"

He doesn't have the attention span to form his own party.

Some other sack of shit will come along and split the republicunts for good.

Why?

Well, the British don't really have to put up with this shit election over here (to the extent President Comacho doesn't drop nukes).  Brexit is pretty much uniformly bad from an economic standpoint with millions of people potentially losing freedom of movement and imports/exports subject to protectionist tariffs again (same shit Trump wants).

Saying that it is bad from an economic standpoint is debatable. Our PM and various other government officials have said it won't be easy sailing for a while, and we Brexiteers expected as such, but in time everything will stabilise and we will be better off for it.

Good.

Oh, don't worry about them.  They'll be fine.

Dummies who voted for it?  Not so much.

       Lol, your right about that. Isn't David Duke going to try in 2020?

Grump will NEVER concede. He'll give some crybaby story about how the election was "rigged".
"Many people have said. A lot of great people, I tell you. We're looking into it right now. I'm still a winner. Many people tell me that."
Then he'll file a lawsuit, probably on the entire American electorate. Trump v. The United States of America.
I also wouldn't be surprised if he runs again in 2020. He might even start his new election campaign the day after this election.

Not that I have seen, but it's definitely possible I guess.
