Technically 9 more minutes until he is President because they were ahead of schedule. Has to be 10AM MST, which I believe is 12PM EST.

Hence the silence.

Trump probably lost; I believe elections should be decided by popular vote and not the electoral college. However, there was likely some fraud in this election. Trump still might have lost which proves Americans will vote against their own interests just like they did when they reelected Bush. If Bush didn't get reelected in 2004, I might have questioned this election more but I lack faith in Americans.

Weird. Probably not an accident. I wonder if the P and VP will be off-stage at the hour?
