A lot of comments I've read on social media suggest Trump never actually wanted to be President, he just wanted to win the contest. Someone described him - rather aptly, I thought - as being like the dog who finally caught the car.

Interesting concept, Au seems to have a PM who follow this line of thought as well

I don't think it's quite the same thing. I think Turnbull genuinely wanted to be PM and genuinely believed he could do a good job of running the country. Unfortunately we will probably never find out how good or bad he might have been because he is in much the same position as Gillard was - leading a minority government, unable to pass legislation without appeasing independants, and saddled with a cohort of back stabbers in his own party

I tend to disagree, I find him totally lacking in leadership qualities, Gillard had to contend with a hung parliament, Turnbull doesn't

Jacqui Lambie would like to contend with a hung parliament

Yes very good points supernova. At least Clinton had some policies. Trump seemed to be elected based on his promises to make the USA better and to build a wall.
HRC had policies and experience to deal with anybody on international stage. Trump basically had one liners, just like Abbott. The difference is that what is scary is that USA actually do have KKK and various fascist and white supremacy groups, and they are getting very "outspoken". Have you seen the hung effigies of HRC and Obama? And even more frightening are the people who Trump is choosing; racists, anti semites, pro life evangelical, and anti science. They are cutting social security and spending big on "defense". There are people who work several jobs and depend on foodstamps, and Trump and co. are planning to take the food stamps away.
Anyway, HRC is now more than 1 000 000 popular votes ahead of Trump, and still more votes to count from predominantly liberal areas. As even some republicans are worried about the outcome, who knows, it is possible that enough will endorse HRC in December. What is going to happen then is anybody's guess. And there is still the fraud & racketeering case coming up on the 28th November.
