Almost 50% of Americans voted for Trump. Almost 50% did it again a second time. It's not that Voting for Trump is in any way related to being against Assange (It's my understanding that Wikileaks is well liked within that community), but I've learned to to speculate on what Americans might do. I've taken to just expecting the worst possible outcome from any decision.
