It's a Trump!

Political earthquake in the United States. Donald J. Trump will be the forty-fifth president of the country. The Republican candidate has prevailed, against all odds, on the Democrat Hillary Clinton, with 290 electoral votes, pending final scrutiny.

Thus, the most important nation in the world will turn sharply to conservatism from next January 20, when Trump inherits the presidency of Barack Obama.

With a xenophobic and anti-establishment speech, the tycoon has conquered undecided states that were key, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida or North Carolina. The hidden Latino vote and the male white vote have made a difference. In addition, Republicans will be a majority in both Congress and the Senate, which gives the new president free rein to apply his policies.

After his victory, Trump has appeared in a conciliatory tone, congratulating his rival for the campaign, and crying out for the reconstruction of the country, based on the union of the entire American people. At the same time, the new president has warned that his movement has only just begun.
