Ironically trump makes me feel more secure that the elections are not rigged. Nobody in the GOP, civil service, military, and intelligence communities wanted him. All were very outspoken against him throughout the primaries and even into the election.

and the US has no geopolitical adversaries of note.

And apparently you only needed to flip 4000 votes in swing states to secure the electoral college numbers... 4000 targeted ads on Facebook, how much did that cost? Cambridge Analytica knows.
