We've Been Trumped
Donald Trump has won the 2016 Presidential Election, becoming the 45th president of the United with swing states such as Florida and North Carolina took him beyond the 270 Electoral College votes required to take The White House. Exit polls show Trump won with the backing of white, working class voters, particularly men, beating Senator Clinton's voters of mainly women, minorities and young people.
In his victory speech, Mr Trump promises to be 'President for all people' despite having a divisive and racist rhetoric his entire campaign with all the comments he has made against Mexicans, women, black people and Muslims including campaigning to build a wall on the Mexican border. He also congratulated Senator Clinton, saying that she waged "a very very hard-fought campaign." He also commended her for having "worked very long and very hard" over her political career.
President Vladimir Putin was the first world leader to congratulate Mr Trump, saying he hoped for the two nations to engage in "constructive dialogue" on international issues and British Prime Minister Theresa May said the UK's "special relationship" with the US remained "strong".
Trump will not be inaugurated until 20 January and will be the oldest person ever inaugurated as US president.
