COINDESK: Bitcoin Markets Muted as Donald Trump Becomes US President

When Donald Trump won the presidential election in November, the price of bitcoin jumped. Following his inauguration today – not so much.

On 9th November, prices bounced more than 3% as Trump, the controversial businessman and Republican presidential nominee, secured the votes to clinch the election versus former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton. That move came as stock markets worldwide sharply fell as Trump's victory became apparent.

The reaction to Trump's inauguration, by contrast, was far more muted.

Military Times: Troops prefer Trump to Clinton - Survey

Active-duty service members prefer Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton by 2-to-1, according to an informal survey released Monday by Military Times.

While unscientific, the results indicate strong support for presumptive Republican presidential nominee, who has come under fire from retired military leaders and prominent members of the foreign policy community for a lack of foreign policy experience and controversial proposals allowing the torture of terrorism suspects.

In the survey of 951 active-duty troops, reservists and National Guardsmen, 54 percent said they would vote for Trump in a match-up against Clinton, the Democratic front-runner. Twenty-five percent said they would vote for Clinton.

And 21 percent said they would not vote at all in that scenario.
