Over the years I have seen the US people vote in the corrupt, complete idiots, the power hungry, war mongers and the morally destitute.

Congrats, you've outdone yourselves.. you found all five rolled up into one with a smattering of arrogant, ungrateful asshole on top.

You know, the problem is that things have Gone Wrong with the system, and the people who care simply don't know how to fix it.
We try voting, but so many of us are so embittered about our choices (see "system-Gone Wrong") that we've more or less given up.
We vote now for the lesser of two evils, and sometimes, we lose.

The *minority* of people in this country who are "corrupt, complete idiots, the power hungry, war mongers...morally destitute" and "arrogant, ungrateful asshole[s]" are the ones responsible for putting their kind in office.
The *majority* of people in this country are good people for whom their government does not truly speak. IME, IMO, etc.

Yes, if I understand the process that took place properly, he did not win the election by a majority vote. That's a huge flaw in the election process down there. Something that needs to be fixed in a big way.

I'm rather hoping I hear cries of impeachment before too long. He's destroying the crediblity and honour of your country and creating an image that will stick in peoples minds for the decades it takes to repair his handywork and probably long after.
