With frustration growing at the apparent lack to progress towards the hover boards they were promised in the 1989 movie Back to the Future II, Americans took to the polls to elected Donald Trump as the 45th President of the Unit States of America, declaring “We want something from that movie to be real, and if it ain’t power laces and hoverboards, we’ll take Biff Tannen’s Hill Valley.” Voter and Chicago resident Tom Murrey said “The American people are tired of waiting!

No-one being grumpy because 9.00 pm is too early for bed and they aren't tired and it's still daytime
