All signs point to this being true.
He won in a landslide notwithstanding all the negative media. It says a lot.
And I can't find the horrible announcement by MSNBC when they called the winner. Maybe they had to take it down from YouTube?
It was REALLY bad and worth a defamation suit.

Well I don't buy that concept that America is teh Babylon of revelation. But yes, America has been under judgment, and we have seen much that could very well be from the hand of God. We can only wait and see when He lowers the curtain on evil America.

Yep, a lot can happen between now and when Trump is sworn in.
No again. In the United States, the title of president is reserved for the current occupant of the White House, and federal law uses the term “former president” to refer to previous office holders.
Emily Post literally wrote the book on "Etiquette," and since then her organization has kept up a lengthy database about the proper way to behave and speak in virtually every situation. In their section on How to Address a Former President, they write:
When addressing a former President of the United States in a formal setting, the correct form is “Mr. LastName.” (“President LastName” or “Mr. President” are terms reserved for the current head of state.) This is true for other ex-officials, as well. When talking about the person to a third party, on the other hand, it’s appropriate to say, “former President LastName.”
So in the context of a Federal courtroom, where there is an expectation of decorum in dress and behavior, Sen. Tuberville could be considered incorrect in expecting Trump to be referred to as "former President."
In informal settings, though, the Post Institute says "Mr." would be acceptable. They site situations like a private lunch for use of this title. "Many people ignore this convention and refer to former Presidents as 'President LastName' when they are in settings where nearly everyone would afford them the honor of the title ... a somewhat common mistake," they say.
Governmental offices, websites and text will always refer to a former president as just that - Former President - and the current president as President, as per the definitions outlined in the Former Presidents Act.
Claim that Trump must be referred to as 'former President' needs context
Honorifics vary depending on the setting, according to etiquette experts.
