Donald Trump has been named the 45th president of the United States on Tuesday, November 8th. Claiming that it was time now for the nation to "unite". Then followed by warm words for Hillary
Clinton. People say that Clinton failed to provide a sense of trust for the people. Others say she failed to excite other voters hungry for change. Many strong Democratic states shifted over to Republican. Donald Trump is set to take his oath for office on January 20th, 2017.

Donald John Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States on Tuesday in a stunning culmination of an explosive, populist and polarizing campaign that took relentless aim at the institutions and long-held ideals of American democracy.

The surprise outcome, defying late polls that showed Hillary Clinton with a modest but persistent edge, threatened convulsions throughout the country and the world, where skeptics had watched with alarm as Mr. Trump's unvarnished overtures to disillusioned voters took hold.

The triumph for Mr. Trump, 70, a real estate developer-turned-reality television star with no government experience, was a powerful rejection of the establishment forces that had assembled against him, from the world of business to government, and the consensus they had forged on everything from trade to immigration.

The results amounted to a repudiation, not only of Mrs. Clinton, but of President Obama, whose legacy is suddenly imperiled. And it was a decisive demonstration of power by a largely overlooked coalition of mostly blue-collar white and working-class voters who felt that the promise of the United States had slipped their grasp amid decades of globalization and multiculturalism.

In Mr. Trump, a thrice-married Manhattanite who lives in a marble-wrapped three-story penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue, they found an improbable champion.

"The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer," Mr. Trump told supporters around 3 a.m. on Wednesday at a rally in New York City, just after Mrs. Clinton called to concede.

In a departure from a blistering campaign in which he repeatedly stoked division, Mr. Trump sought to do something he had conspicuously avoided as a candidate: Appeal for unity.

"Now it's time for America to bind the wounds of division," he said. "It is time for us to come together as one united people. It's time."

That, he added, "is so important to me."

He offered unusually warm words for Mrs. Clinton, who he has suggested should be in jail, saying she was owed "a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country."

Bolstered by Mr. Trump's strong showing, Republicansretained control of the Senate. Only one Republican-controlled seat, in Illinois, fell to Democrats early in the evening. And Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina, a Republican, easily won re-election in a race that had been among the country's most competitive. A handful of other Republican incumbents facing difficult races were running better than expected.

Mr. Trump's win - stretching across the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania - seemed likely to set off financial jitters and immediate unease among international allies, many of which were startled when Mr. Trump in his campaign cast doubt on the necessity of America's military commitments abroad and its allegiance to international economic partnerships.

From the moment he entered the campaign, with a shocking set of claims that Mexican immigrants were rapists and criminals, Mr. Trump was widely underestimated as a candidate, first by his opponents for the Republican nomination and later by Mrs. Clinton, his Democratic rival. His rise was largely missed by polling organizations and data analysts. And an air of improbability trailed his campaign, to the detriment of those who dismissed his angry message, his improvisational style and his appeal to disillusioned voters.

He suggested remedies that raised questions of constitutionality, like a ban on Muslims entering the United States.

He seemed to embody the success and grandeur that so many of his followers felt was missing from their own lives - and from the country itself. And he scoffed at the poll-driven word-parsing ways of modern politics, calling them a waste of time and money. Instead, he relied on his gut.

At his victory party at the New York Hilton Midtown, where a raucous crowd indulged in a cash bar and wore hats bearing his ubiquitous campaign slogan "Make America Great Again," voters expressed gratification that their voices had, at last, been heard.

"He was talking to people who weren't being spoken to," said Joseph Gravagna, 37, a marketing company owner from Rockland County, N.Y. "That's how I knew he was going to win."

For Mrs. Clinton, the defeat signaled an astonishing end to a political dynasty that has colored Democratic politics for a generation. Eight years after losing to President Obama in the Democratic primary - and 16 years after leaving the White House for the United States Senate, as President Bill Clinton exited office - she had seemed positioned to carry on two legacies: her husband's and the president's.

Her shocking loss was a devastating turn for the sprawling world of Clinton aides and strategists who believed they had built an electoral machine that would swamp Mr. Trump's ragtag band of loyal operatives and family members, many of whom had no experience running a national campaign.

On Tuesday night, stricken Clinton aides who believed that Mr. Trump had no mathematical path to victory, anxiously paced the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center as states in which they were confident of victory, like Florida and North Carolina, either fell to Mr. Trump or seemed in danger of tipping his way.

Mrs. Clinton watched the grim results roll in from a suite at the nearby Peninsula Hotel, surrounded by her family, friends and advisers who had the day before celebrated her candidacy with a champagne toast on her campaign plane.

But over and over, Mrs. Clinton's weaknesses as a candidate were exposed. She failed to excite voters hungry for change. She struggled to build trust with Americans who were baffled by her decision to use a private email server as secretary of state. And she strained to make a persuasive case for herself as a champion of the economically downtrodden after delivering perfunctory paid speeches that earned her millions of dollars.

The returns Tuesday also amounted to a historic rebuke of the Democratic Party from the white blue-collar voters who had formed the party base from the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt to Mr. Clinton's. Yet Mrs. Clinton and her advisers had taken for granted that states like Michigan and Wisconsin would stick with a Democratic nominee, and that she could repeat Mr. Obama's strategy of mobilizing the party's ascendant liberal coalition rather than pursuing a more moderate course like her husband did 24 years ago.

But not until these voters were offered a Republican who ran as an unapologetic populist, railing against foreign trade deals and illegal immigration, did they move so drastically away from their ancestral political home.

To the surprise of many on the left, white voters who had helped elect the nation's first black president, appeared more reluctant to line up behind a white woman.

From Pennsylvania to Wisconsin, industrial towns once full of union voters who for decades offered their votes to Democratic presidential candidates, even in the party's lean years, shifted to Mr. Trump's Republican Party. One county in the Mahoning Valley of Ohio, Trumbull, went to Mr. Trump by a six-point margin. Four years ago, Mr. Obama won there by 22 points.

Mrs. Clinton's loss was especially crushing to millions who had cheered her march toward history as, they hoped, the nation's first female president. For supporters, the election often felt like a referendum on gender progress: an opportunity to elevate a woman to the nation's top job and to repudiate a man whose remarkably boorish behavior toward women had assumed center stage during much of the campaign.

Mr. Trump boasted, in a 2005 video released last month, about using his public profile to commit sexual assault. He suggested that female political rivals lacked a presidential "look." He ranked women on a scale of one to 10, even holding forth on the desirability of his own daughter - the kind of throwback male behavior that many in the country assumed would disqualify a candidate for high office.

On Tuesday, the public's verdict was rendered.

Uncertainty abounds as Mr. Trump prepares to take office. His campaign featured a shape-shifting list of policy proposals, often seeming to change hour to hour. His staff was in constant turmoil, with Mr. Trump's children serving critical campaign roles and a rotating cast of advisers alternately seeking access to Mr. Trump's ear, losing it and, often, regaining it, depending on the day.

Even Mr. Trump's full embrace of the Republican Party came exceedingly late in life, leaving members of both parties unsure about what he truly believes. He has donated heavily to both parties and has long described his politics as the transactional reality of a businessman.

Mr. Trump's dozens of business entanglements - many of them in foreign countries - will follow him into the Oval Office, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest. His refusal to release his tax returns, and his acknowledgment that he did not pay federal income taxes for years, has left the American people with considerable gaps in their understanding of the financial dealings.

But this they do know: Mr. Trump will thoroughly reimagine the tone, standards and expectations of the presidency, molding it in his own self-aggrandizing image.

He is set to take the oath of office on Jan. 20.

Donald Trump Is Elected President in Stunning Repudiation of the Establishment

Donald John Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States on Tuesday in a stunning culmination of an explosive, populist and polarizing campaign that took relentless aim at the institutions and long-held ideals of American democracy.

On Saturday, November 12th a protester was shot in a anti-trump protest. The protest took place in Portland, Oregon. Another protest in Miami contained several thousand anti-trump activists. Trump responded to all of this with a tweet. Trump's presidency is due to start on January 20th, 2017. The date not to far away concerns many activists, but for others such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) are overjoyed for the new president.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MIAMI (Reuters) - Thousands of protesters took their frustrations over Donald Trump's election as the next U.S. president onto the streets on Friday and into Saturday in several cities, including Portland, Oregon, where one protester was shot.

The unidentified man was wounded on Portland's Morrison Bridge at 12:45 a.m. local time as he and dozens of other protesters crossed it during their demonstration, one of several across the country denouncing Trump's campaign rhetoric about immigrants, Muslims and women.

In the Portland incident, police said in a statement that a man got out of a vehicle on the bridge where he confronted and then shot a protester, who was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The suspect is still at large, police added.

Earlier in the night, protesters blocked traffic and threw objects at Portland police dressed in riot gear who responded with pepper spray and flash-bang devices. At one point, police pushed protesters back and appeared to take at least one person into custody, according to footage on a local NBC affiliate.

Hundreds of protesters also marched through the streets of Los Angeles, blocking traffic as they waved signs in opposition of Trump and chanted "We reject the president elect" and "Whose streets? Our Streets".

Several thousand activists marched through downtown Miami, with a few hundred making their way onto a highway, halting traffic in both directions.

In New York, demonstrators again gathered in Washington Square Park and by Trump Tower, where the Republican president-elect lives, on Fifth Avenue.

Trump, who initially denounced Americans who protested against his election, saying they had been "incited" by the media, reversed course and praised them on Friday.

"Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!" Trump said on Twitter.

The tweets were further evidence of Trump's mixed messages since he announced his candidacy 17 months ago. After Democrat Hillary Clinton conceded defeat early on Wednesday, he took a far more conciliatory tone than he had often displayed during his campaign and promised to be a president for all Americans.

CIVIL RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS

Anti-Trump demonstrators have voiced concerns that his presidency, due to start on Jan. 20, would infringe on Americans' civil and human rights.

They cited his campaign promises to restrict immigration and register Muslims, as well as allegations the former reality-TV star sexually abused women.

Protesters in various cities have chanted slogans, including "No hate! No fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" and carried signs reading "Impeach Trump".

White supremacist groups including the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) have praised Trump's election, and some civil rights advocacy groups have reported a spike of attacks on minorities following Trump's victory on Tuesday.

Trump has rejected the KKK's support.

Most of the protests across the country, which have also taken place in Washington, D.C., have been largely comprised of young adults and college students.

With the country evenly divided, many voters were shocked by the result given that opinion polls failed to predict Trump's triumph. The Republican Party also managed to maintain its majorities in both houses of Congress in Tuesday's vote.

More anti-Trump demonstrations were planned for the weekend, including in New York and Los Angeles. A group calling itself "#NotMyPresident" has scheduled an anti-Trump rally for Washington on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day, when the New York real-estate developer formally succeeds President Barack Obama.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus acknowledged on Friday the tight race with Clinton, but said anti-Trump protesters have to accept the election results. He pointed to Trump's call for unity and meetings on Thursday with Obama and Republican leaders as reasons for reassurance.

Security barricades now shield some of Trump's most visible properties, including the newly opened Trump International Hotel near the White House and Trump Tower in New York.

Trump's base of support in the election was the broad middle of the country, with voters in states that had long supported Democrats shifting to him after he promised to renegotiate trade deals with other countries.

People are wondering if Hillary Clinton is healthy enough to be president. Her doctor says she's in good health, but will people see through her transparency is the question. People are wondering if it will bite her in the back if she does win presidency, and can she hide being truly transparent in her so called "good" health.

Hillary Clinton's health has been an issue since December, 2012 - when she fainted and suffered a serious concussion. Her latest 'episode' came during the 9/11 memorial event when her knees buckled and she nearly fainted as aides assisted her to a waiting vehicle.

Throughout it all, Hillary has steadfastly claimed she's "healthy and fit to serve," as she recently quoted her personal physician.

But according to the latest WikiLeaks dump, top campaign officials anxiously called Hillary's health a 'hyper sensitive issue' - months before she announced her candidacy.

In a March, 2015 email, campaign manager Robby Mook acknowledged his concern to campaign chairman John Podesta:

"Have you talked with her at all about taxes and health?" he says. I'm [sic] know both are hyper sensitive but I wonder if both are better dealt with very early so we control them-rather than responding to calls for transparency."

In a July, 2015 email thread, Director of Speech Writing Dan Schwerin suggested article headlines that would accompany the release of a letter from Hillary's doctor.

"We expect the stories that pop at 2 pm to have headlines such as 'CLINTON IN 'EXCELLENT HEALTH,' MEDICAL RECORDS SAY' ... 'CLINTON RELEASES HEALTH REPORT' ... 'CLINTON CAMP AIMS TO ONE-UP BUSH IN DISCLOSING FINANCES'."

So appear to be 'proactively transparent' and get out a few killer headlines, so as to be able to avoid being truly transparent down the road?

Call it what you will; it was (and remains) a concerted effort by Hillary and her concerned staff to control the narrative about her health - to keep it from controlling them.

Leaked Emails Prove 'Hyper Sensitive' Clinton Campaign Saw Hillary's Health Issues as a Real Problem

There are 25 more days until the presidential election, and Donald Trump seems to be losing by the minute. Red states are threatening to turn purple! With people coming forward saying they've been sexually harassed by Donald Trump  are making it even harder to win. Even if he was to win NC, OH, FL, and NV, he'd still fall short the 270 votes he needs to win the election. Yet, Trump still is inspiring people to vote. For or not for him.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
But 25 days before the election, Trump's path to the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the presidency is looking more and more impossible by the day, as states he once said he'd flip from blue to red increasingly slip out of his reach. Meanwhile, reliably red states threaten to turn purple.

Trump's odds of a win were spiraling downward days before the 2005 "Access Hollywood" recording that surfaced last week and depicted him bragging about his ability to grope women as a perk of his celebrity. Since then, his support has collapsed -- particularly among women. A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed Clinton with a 9-point lead and a new national Fox poll released Thursday night that had Clinton at 45% and Trump at 38% in a four-way race.

In the most stunning development of the week, Trump and Clinton were tied at 26% in ruby-red Utah, with virtually unknown independent candidate Evan McMullin closing in on third place with 22%, according to a survey from Y2 Analytics.

"He's at a point where he's trying to draw an inside straight now by campaigning primarily in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and North Carolina," said veteran GOP pollster Whit Ayres. "He is well behind in Pennsylvania; he appears according to the latest polls to be effectively tied in North Carolina and Ohio; and he's behind in Florida."

"Donald Trump said he would put new states in play," Ayres said, but he noted wryly that he never thought they would be the red states of Utah, Arizona and Georgia. Clinton's campaign has already invested resources in Arizona and is marshaling forces in Georgia as they eye ways to expand the map for down-ballot races.

And this is before allegations this week from a growing number of women who have accused him of unwanted sexual advances. Trump has vehemently denied those accusations, and there is no data yet to gauge whether he will suffer further fallout in the polls, but it's another issue that has knocked Trump off-message with time running down before Election Day.

"The map looked strong for Clinton at the start of this race and it's looking even stronger for her toward the end of it," Ayres said. "If a landslide is winning in the Electoral College by more than 100 votes, Clinton is on track to do that now."

Because of Democrats' advantage in the Electoral College, Trump's path to the White House relied not only on keeping all the states that Mitt Romney won in 2012, but also seizing Democratic turf in states like Pennsylvania.

Clinton held a 9-point lead in Pennsylvania, according to a new Bloomberg Politics poll released Thursday. Most striking was her lead in the Philadelphia suburbs -- the place where many strategists believe this race will be won or lost. A startling 56% of suburban Philadelphia voters said they were supporting Clinton, compared to 28% for Trump.

Even if Trump were to win the mighty battleground states of North Carolina (where Clinton currently has a 4-point lead), Ohio, Nevada and Florida, he would still fall short of the 270 electoral votes that he needs to win. That means he would have to make up ground in Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin -- all states where he is trailing far behind her, according to new polls.

Democrats have long been confident about their ability to win Colorado, where both Trump and Clinton visited recently And they are increasingly bullish about their chances in Nevada, another state Clinton hit this week.

In another blow to Trump's campaign on Thursday, Republican sources confirmed that Trump was pulling his resources from Virginia, a state that has seen a huge influx in the number of foreign-born citizens and large growth among Asians, who have increasingly tilted toward Democrats in recent years.

Because of demographic changes in Arizona and Georgia, those two states appear to be closer this year than in 2012 when Romney won them comfortably. Democrats had already made inroads with the large African-American population in Georgia, and been buoyed by the growing Hispanic population in that state. But Clinton has also shown particular strength this cycle among college-educated white women voters in the suburbs of Atlanta.

While campaigning in Colorado this week, Clinton urged her supporters to get their friends out to vote in Utah and Arizona. "We are competing everywhere, and the polls are tightening because I think Americans want a turnout in as big a number as possible to reject the dark and divisive and hateful campaign that is being run by my opponent."

Many Republican strategists still expect Trump to hold on in Utah and Arizona, even if he loses the race. But Democrats believe they are laying the groundwork for 2020 and beyond.

"In the same way President Obama helped build up registration in the African American community and among millennials, Donald Trump is offering new opportunities for Democrats to make gains," said Bill Burton, a former Obama adviser.

Burton noted that in California, for example, registration among Latinos has grown exponentially, "and you're seeing that trend across the country. It's opening doors that wouldn't otherwise be open.... Donald Trump is inspiring a whole new generation of voters to go out and get registered, and get engaged, it's really helping Democrats build up our network."

Donald Trump is running out of ways to win

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Donald Trump cast himself in almost messianic terms Thursday in Florida, describing the presidential race as "a struggle for the survival of our nation" and vowing to win the White House despite all the "slings and arrows" being hurled in his direction.

# data[].attributes.body
Early on in the election Donald Trump could say many racial, sexist slurs without getting punished. Now we see a change. Hillary Clinton has an 11 point lead over Donald Trump with just women voters! Donald was very baffled by the numbers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Donald Trump might have earned a reputation as a ladies' man in his lifetime, but clearly he knows very little about women.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," goes a line from the play "The Mourning Bride." Right now, women are mad as hell at Trump. And three weeks from now, they are going to lead the way in taking him down.

Early on, Trump managed to get away with making vile attacks against Muslims, Hispanics, African-Americans and gays without being punished in the polls. Even when he mocked the disabled, some supporters looked the other way.

Some would say his campaign flourished early on because of his keen ability to play Americans against each other. He promised to make America great again while giving a sly wink to constituents who would like to see certain groups removed from the landscape. Those groups never were going to vote for Trump anyway, so he had nothing to lose by turning on them.

But he met his match when he disrespected women. They represent about 53 percent of the electorate, and ever since women were granted the right to vote, no presidential candidate has ascended to the White House without their support.

Even before they could vote, women always have held the power to change the course of our nation. If there's any doubt about that, take a little stroll through history.

Harriet Tubman. Susan B. Anthony. Rosa Parks. They're just a few of the women who didn't like the direction America was going and decided to step up and turn things around.

It's scary to imagine living in an America where they had not taken on the issues of slavery, suffrage, racial equality and women's rights.

On Nov. 8, women collectively will face perhaps their greatest test in modern history -stopping Trump from becoming the 45th president of the United States. And they are up for the job.

Women could be the deciding factor in this presidential race and the Republican nominee seems to be losing more and more support from this crucial voting bloc every day.

An NBC/Wall Street Journal national poll released Sunday showed that women have propelled Hillary Clinton to an 11-point lead over Trump, 48 percent to 37 percent, among all likely voters. Among female voters, Clinton has a 20-point lead over Trump, 55 to 35 percent. Among men, however, Trump still is the preferred candidate, 48 to 45 percent.

In the 13 "battleground" states that could ultimately decide the race, Clinton has a 15-point lead over Trump among women voters, significantly higher than the 5-point lead she held a month ago, according to a new CBS poll. In addition, Trump's support among Republican women has fallen to 77 percent from 84 percent a month ago.

The Republican nominee appeared dumbfounded over the news that women aren't planning to vote for him. He blamed it on media bias.

"...can you believe I lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED," he tweeted on Sunday.

Apparently, it never occurred to him that women don't like him because he's a jerk.

Over the past two weeks, Trump has made serious miscalculations when it comes to women.

He seemed to think that most women would be willing to overlook his lewd comments and boasts about sexual misconduct. He thought he could say it was "locker room talk" and women would pass it off as boys' talk.

He thought women would turn against other women who have come forward to talk about Trump's unwanted sexual advances against them. He seemed to have no idea that women might find it credible that Trump had actually done the things he bragged about on that "Access Hollywood" audiotape.

And, in an attempt to put his female opponent on the defensive, Trump thought women would blame the victim for having a philandering husband. But at the same time, women weren't expected to hold his former wives to the same standard.

Perhaps Trump's biggest mistake, though, was in thinking he could do all of these things without ever issuing a heartfelt apology.

After all, U.S. presidents have been abusing women since Thomas Jefferson assaulted Sally Hemings. What is there to apologize for, especially when Clinton's own husband has been accused of doing the same thing?

But, oh, was he wrong about women.

They refused to be treated like battered wives who go back to their husbands only to be beaten again. Instead, they are taking up the mantle of the martyrs who have gone before them.

And on Election Day, they are going to teach Trump a thing or two about women that he never knew before.
