00:00I think there's a sense, and you've seen this in the news, that there's a real sense that

00:08we just need to come together as a nation and as one group of people, stand behind our

00:14vote, stand behind our elected president, and just work together to better the country.

00:21Whether you're for or against the candidate that wins, and as it seems we'll have President

00:26Trump as our president moving forward, we all stand behind him and look to just move

00:34forward from here.

00:35Well, I think the world needs a business leader, after all, and business will never be separated

00:42from politics.

00:43There's not one single business big deal made without a political decision.

00:49So we live outside the United States, and we need his support outside, internationally.

00:56He will do so.

00:57He has businesses worldwide.

00:58I'm not American, and I didn't vote for these elections, but somehow I feel like we all

01:03leave these elections, they were ours somehow, because the impact will be big everywhere

01:10in the world, and it's surprising, so now we have to see how the world reacts, and where

01:17are we going.

01:18I would like to think that our new president-elect, who I think goes into office in January, will

01:23do his utmost to bring the blue and the red states together to be the United States of

01:30America.

01:31The country has been deeply divided by this election, and it's been very polarizing, but

01:37I think at the very heart, a lot of Americans don't have such great animosity towards each

01:43other.

01:44If you go stateside, you'll see a little more solidarity between Republicans and Democrats.

01:49It's disappointing in many ways for Democrats and for women who were hoping to see the first

01:55female president of the United States, not because she is a woman, but the fact that

02:00she is one should not prevent her from holding this office, especially with such unbelievably

02:06high qualifications.

02:08Hillary will have paved the way for other women leaders to one day take this office.

02:13I hope that Donald Trump will be very attentive to the Democratic agenda and to the people

02:22across the aisle in crafting his policy.
