Hillary Clinton has laid bare her disappointment at her election defeat to Donald Trump in her first public appearance since she lost a week ago.

The Democratic candidate said she had wanted to "curl up with a good book and never leave the house again".

But in a speech at a children's charity she urged the audience to fight for American values and "never give up."

Mrs Clinton won the popular vote but was beaten to the presidency in the all-important US electoral college.

"Now I will admit coming here tonight wasn't the easiest thing for me," she said as she was honoured by the Children's Defense Fund.

She continued: "I know many of you are deeply disappointed about the results of the election. I am, too, more than I can ever express.

"I know this isn't easy. I know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether America is the country we thought it was.

At the scene: Laura Bicker, BBC News

There was little ceremony and no sign of security for the former presidential candidate who is known simply as "Hillary" in this circle of friends.

The audience were on their feet and chanting her name as she took to the podium. When she talked about her disappointment, murmurs of agreement spread through the room in waves.

That murmur grew louder as she urged those listening not to lose heart - this was an emotional plea for action.

The event was entitled Beat the Odds, which offers hope for some of America's most underprivileged children and celebrates their achievements.

But I spoke to one man who told me that he could offer little hope to the young African Americans he mentors in the wake of this election.

Hillary Clinton used her voice tonight to try to help change that and dissuade others from feeling despondent.

The candidate may be gone, and right now "Hillary" looks like she might run home and curl back up on the sofa, but there is still a spark left in the first woman who got this far in trying to reach the White House.

"The divisions laid bare by this election run deep, but please listen to me when I say this.

"America is worth it. Our children are worth it. Believe in our country, fight for our values and never, ever give up."

In her concession speech after her shock defeat last week, Mrs Clinton said rival Donald Trump must be given the chance to lead.

Since then she has kept a low profile, although she was spotted while out walking.

In a phone call leaked to US media she also blamed her loss on FBI director James Comey, who announced a new inquiry into her use of a private email server in the run up to the vote.

After Trump's election win, the general cottage industry of goofy Joe Biden memes took on a more pointed theme, namely, whatever irreverent thoughts Biden may be thinking now that his lease in the White House is almost up.

It's funny, but also a little sad, because clearly Obama/Biden/Clinton fans are taking out their election frustration by concocting what amounts to massively nerdy presidential revenge fan fiction.

There are a certain set of enduring images, usually with Biden looking goofy and Obama looking slightly vexed, upon which these imaginary conversations are projected. (Wow, that was possibly the driest, most stodgy way to describe the concept of a meme ever. Forgiveness, please. It all falls apart if you think about it too much.)

Humor is a powerful tool to remind the bereft that life is without inherent meaning and sometimes imagining the Vice President getting back at political opponents by farting a lot is the only way to answer to the void.

Also, you know, there are only a limited number of days left to celebrate the eight-years-long bromance between the Leader of the Free World and his right hand man.

Don't cry because it's (almost) over, Biden fans. Smile because it happened, or at least, you imagined it did.

Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin has a great new interview with President Obama in Vanity Fair. In the wide-ranging interview, they discuss Abraham Lincoln, Obama's biggest regrets from his time in office, and how a visit to the pyramids reminded Obama that cable news doesn't really matter.

But perhaps the most intriguing bit was when, in a brief discussion of Obama's plans for his post-presidency, Obama hinted that he planned to start speaking out more like an activist than a president.

There are "things," he told Goodwin, "that in some ways I suspect I'm able to do better out of this office." He elaborated that because of the "institutional constraints" of the presidency, "there are things I cannot say."

He went on to essentially say he wanted to use his post-presidential bully pulpit more like an activist than a venerable elder statesman. "There are institutional obligations I have to carry out that are important for a president of the United States to carry out, but may not always align with what I think would move the ball down the field on the issues that I care most deeply about," he said.

And while vague, this is an intriguing hint that Obama is thinking about being a very different ex-president than we've been used to.

Recent ex-presidents have avoided controversy. But Obama suggests he'll embrace it.

The typical recent ex-president has retreated into a career that involves some charitable work and some buckraking. George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush all mostly withdrew from the daily give and take of politics, and certainly from controversial issues.

Obama will likely do some of both. But he's unusual in a few key ways. First, as he reminds Goodwin in the interview, he'll be just 55 years old when he leaves office - if he remains healthy, he could be around for decades. Second, he's relatively popular now that he's leaving office. And third, there's his past as a community organizer.

So it makes sense that Obama wants to help keep pushing for change on issues he feels are important. And by suggesting there are things he can't say now but will say once he's out of office, he's implying that he won't shy away from controversy.

Head over to Vanity Fair to check out the full excerpt, and to learn more about what Obama is thinking as his presidency winds down.

There is a lot of machismo still going on nowadays many people don’t want to see a woman running the country. A friend had just told me that a coworker of his brother stated that they can’t give power to a woman because that’s what the bible states. The way they are shaking hands in this picture, we can see that Trump is the controller, and Hillary is shown as a weak woman. What if Hillary was a man, do you think Trump still would've won?

"US election: World media digests Trump election win"

It's fascinating to see how the rest of the world sees us.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Global media has begun reacting to Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election with shock in some regions and a subdued acceptance of events in others.

As results showed a trend towards victory for the Republican candidate, some news outlets in the Middle East jumped the gun to tell their readers that he had already won.

European press, meanwhile, reflected shock and dismay as Trump took to the stage at his headquarters to accept victory.

Europe stunned by "Brexit 2.0"

"How could this happen?" reads a stunned headline on the website of German daily Die Welt; while Die Tageszeitung's website had "Brexit 2.0" as its main headline, later changed to "Victory of the horror clown".

"The avenger in the White House," reads the headline of an online commentary in Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine that predicts that America's allies will have to "hold on tight".

"After Brexit, the old structure of the Western order has been dealt a new blow," it adds. "The anger of many Americans was clearly stronger than scruples about engaging in a dangerous experiment."

In France, a front-page editorial in conservative Le Figaro said America was "a country in need of reuniting". "Reducing divisions in America will be a tough task" for any incoming president, the paper says. It later published a piece called "From clown to president".

French business daily Les Echos didn't hold back in its criticism of Trump in their piece entitled "The new face of America". "Racist, populist, male chauvinist, arrogant and unpredictable. We do not know what is most terrifying in the personality of Donald Trump," the paper said.

Spain's La Razon newspaper lead with the headline "United States of Populism"; while ABC says "The new president will have to restore the pride of the country divided by two candidates with more capacity to generate tension than enthusiasm."

Poland's Rzeczpospolita conservative daily compared the result to Game of Thrones: "Winter is coming and you can't help it. We have woken up in the completely unpredictable world, and business does not like uncertainty"

In Ukraine, Inter TV told its viewers: "The nation was mentally ready to have Clinton as president. Therefore the numbers that we are seeing and the possible victory for Trump have shocked many people."

Another Ukrainian channel - One Plus One TV - said: ""It feels rather awkward and unusual to talk about this."

In Russia, state-run Rossiya 1 TV described Donald Trump's win as "a real sensation". Its Washington correspondent says, "It's a political earthquake in the US and the world, an historic fait accompli."

Another official channel, Rossiya 24 TV, reported that the rouble and oil prices have "fallen sharply" on news of the Trump win.

Worldwide uncertainty

In Mexico, newspapers are highlighting how the local currency is performing against the dollar. El Universal says the peso is on a "free fall". It adds the country "faces now one of the worst possible scenarios", as Trump promised to build a wall with Mexico, review the North American Free Trade Agreement and deport millions of undocumented migrants from the US.

Argentina's Clarin carries an opinion piece with the headline: "Donald Trump, an emerging neo-fascist who goes beyond the elections" on its front page. "The phenomenon is not circumstantial; it correlates with many European ultranationalist figures and grows in a serious moment of the world," Clarin said.

Elsewhere, an opinion piece in China's People's Daily newspaper said "uncertainty regarding economic and political policy will be huge if Trump is the next president".

However, the paper notes, it will make it easier for China to cope if Trump is elected, as he "has always insisted on abandoning ideological division and minimising the risks that unnecessary conflicts with other countries may bring to the US".

There was mixed reaction in India. While the Times of India tweeted "Congratulations, Mr President elect!", another paper, Daily News and Analysis stated bluntly: "This is the world's worst headline: Donald Trump is the new President of the United States".

'Earthquake'

In the Middle East, several news websites greeted their morning readers by announcing a Trump win before the results had been officially declared.

Egypt's Al-Youm Al-Sabi carries a front-page picture saying: "Trump makes the miracle and wins the presidency of the USA".

UAE's Ittihad newspaper website went for "Political earthquake, Trump is the president of the USA" in a headline published while the results were still nominally in the balance.

Also calling the result early in the Middle East were Kuwait's Al-Watan ("Contrary to all expectations, Trump becomes the president of the USA", Bahrain's similarly titled Al-Watan and Iran's conservative Tasnim news agency.

One recurring theme across Arab-language media is that the election - whatever the result - would mean little change in the Middle East and in Syria in particular.

An analyst on pan-Arab Al-Mayadin TV summed up the general feeling: "Wars in Iraq, Syria, Libya continued regardless of who was in charge... I have not noticed any change that would allow us to say now that Republican policy would be worse or better for the Middle East".

With the election too close to call overnight, it's hardly surprising that a paper went to print calling the wrong result. Turkey's Posta daily said that "the polls did not lie this time, and Hilary Clinton has become the first female president of the United States".

It was perhaps the unthinkable: President Obama meeting with his successor at the White House in the first step to carry out the peaceful transition of power in the American republic - and that successor is Donald Trump.

But that's exactly what happened Thursday morning in what amounts to one of the more surreal moments in American political history.

President-elect Trump, who rose to political fame by falsely questioning the birthplace of the sitting president, said he had "great respect" for Obama, called him a "very good man" and said he would seek his "counsel" in the future. Trump, who noted that the two had never met before, said they were slated to speak for maybe 10 to 15 minutes, but the meeting, which lasted more than an hour and a half, could have gone on even longer. Trump said they talked about "difficulties" around the world but also about accomplishments.

"I very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel," Trump said. "He's - he explained some of the difficulties, some of the high-flying assets, and some of the really great things that have been achieved."

Obama described it as an "excellent conversation" and "wide-ranging" - from how to organizationally set up a White House to foreign and domestic policy.

"I believe that it is important for all of us, regardless of party and regardless of political preferences, to now come together, work together to deal with the many challenges that we face," Obama said, adding that he wanted Trump and his wife, Melania, the incoming first lady, to feel "welcome" as they make the transition.

"And most of all," Obama continued, "I want to emphasize to you, Mr. President-elect, that we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed, because if you succeed, then the country succeeds."

The tone and grace of the meeting stood in stark contrast with the contentious campaign and the history between these two. President Obama openly mocked Trump at a White House Correspondents' Dinner. Less than a year ago, last December, when Trump was ascendant in the polls, this reporter wrote:

"[Obama] joked in 2011 that Trump, who was hot on the trail of Obama's birth certificate, was a conspiracy theorist waiting to reveal the fake moon landing, then roasted him for making the hard decisions - like firing Gary Busey instead of Lil' Jon or Meatloaf on Celebrity Apprentice.

"Just eight months ago, Obama joked that Trump was 'here. Still.' That got big laughs.

"But it's Trump's supporters who are laughing now."

Trump has been a thorn in Obama's side. He rose to political fame using the birther movement to translate his pop-culture notoriety as a reality-TV star into an improbable winning presidential campaign. That birther movement questioned the president's place of birth and thereby the legitimacy of the first African-American president. The president, of course, was born in Hawaii. Trump finally later acknowledged that during this campaign but made no apology for his crusade.

Trump used the issue to stir up a base of antipathy toward this president. It wasn't even so much that the largely rural, white, populist voters who eventually propelled Trump into the White House really believed the accusations and innuendo to be true. But they liked that Trump spoke to them when they felt ignored - by the professional class, the Washington establishment and the media elites - and was willing to annoy and disrupt them all.

What Trump accomplished is nothing short of a populist, white working-class revolt - even as he lost the national popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump was able to win giant margins in white, rural counties, especially in the Industrial North and Midwest, like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It was enough to offset Clinton's margins in the cities and suburbs, upending decades of the fundamentals of political thought and analysis.

Also at the White House on Thursday, first lady Michelle Obama and Melania Trump met. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough was spotted by the White House pool taking a walk on the White House grounds with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Kushner is married to Trump's daughter Ivanka. Kushner played a key role in Trump's campaign.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has been rumored to potentially serve as Trump's chief of staff, though he told NBC he has had " no conversations" about that. Kushner also appears poised to play a key role as an adviser in President Trump's inner circle; it would be remarkable, though, if he were tapped as chief of staff, given he's a member of the family. He's also the publisher of the New York Observer.

Trump also met with Republican leaders on Capitol Hill this afternoon.

After meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Trump spoke briefly saying his "really great" priorities will be immigration, "big league jobs" and health care. As NPR's Ailsa Chang reports, when asked if he's going to ask Congress to pass a Muslim ban, he declined to answer the question and walked on.

Trump also met with House Speaker Paul Ryan in the speaker's office, saying after the meeting: "I think we are going to absolutely spectacular things for the American people and I look forward to starting -- quite frankly we can't get started fast enough."

Ryan praised Trump's victory as "one of the most impressive" ever seen and also conveyed a sense of urgency saying the two talked about "how we are going to hit the ground running to get this country turned around and make America great again." The two also said they looked forward to working together on health care, immigration, lowering taxes and other issues.

According to a pool report from Politico's Edward-Isaac Dovere, Trump said he had a "great meeting" with Ryan and then the speaker led him out onto his balcony.

Ryan pointed to various sites in the city and as well as Trump's new hotel in downtown D.C. saying "that's it right there, that's the Old Post Office Building."

Trump called the view "absolutely beautiful."

One of the biggest demonstrations was in Los Angeles, where protesters burned a Trump effigy at City Hall and shut down a section of Highway 101. Law enforcement officials were called out to disperse the hundreds of people who swarmed across the multilane freeway.

In New York, crowds converged at Trump Tower, on Fifth Avenue at 56th Street in Midtown Manhattan, where the president-elect lives.

They chanted "Not our president" and "New York hates Trump" and carried signs that said, among other things, "Dump Trump." Restaurant workers in their uniforms briefly left their posts to cheer on the demonstrators.

The demonstrations forced streets to be closed, snarled traffic and drew a large police presence. They started in separate waves from Union Square and Columbus Circle and snaked their way through Midtown.

Loaded dump trucks lined Fifth Avenue for two blocks outside Trump Tower as a form of protection.

Emanuel Perez, 25, of the Bronx, who works at a restaurant in Manhattan and grew up in Guerrero, Mexico, was among the many Latinos in the crowd.

"I came here because people came out to protest the racism that he's promoting," he said in Spanish, referring to Mr. Trump. "I'm not scared for myself personally. What I'm worried about is how many children are going to be separated from their families. It will not be just one. It will be thousands of families."

Protesters with umbrellas beat a piñata of Mr. Trump, which quickly lost a leg, outside the building.

The Police Department said on Wednesday night that 15 protesters had been arrested.

Bianca Rivera, 25, of East Harlem, described Mr. Trump's election as something that was "not supposed to happen."

"We're living in a country that's supposed to be united, a melting pot," she said. "It's exposing all these underground racists and sexists."

Elsewhere in the country, college students gathered in spontaneous marches and asked university leaders to schedule meetings to reflect on the results.

After Mr. Trump's victory speech, more than 2,000 students at the University of California, Los Angeles, marched through the streets of the campus's Westwood neighborhood.

There were similar protests at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles; University of California campuses in Berkeley, San Diego and Santa Barbara; Temple University, in Philadelphia; and the University of Massachusetts.

High school students also walked out of classes in protest in several cities.

As U.C.L.A. students made their way to classes on Wednesday, they talked about how to make sense of an outcome that had seemed impossible a day earlier.

"I'm more than a little nervous about the future," said Blanca Torres, a sophomore anthropology major. "We all want to have conversations with each other, to figure out how to move forward. There's a whole new reality out there for us now."

Chuy Fernandez, a fifth-year economics student, said he was eager to air his unease with his peers.

"I'm feeling sad with this huge sense of uncertainty," Mr. Fernandez said. The son of a Mexican immigrant, he said it was difficult not to take the outcome personally.

"We're all just kind of waiting for a ticking time bomb, like looking around and thinking who will be deported," he said. "That's the exact opposite of what most of us thought would happen."

On Facebook, a page titled "Not My President" called for protesters to gather on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, in the nation's capital.

"We refuse to recognize Donald Trump as the president of the United States, and refuse to take orders from a government that puts bigots into power," the organizers wrote.

"We have to make it clear to the public that we did not choose this man for office and that we won't stand for his ideologies."

Donald Trump secured the presidential race early Wednesday in a stunning victory that many pollsters never saw coming.

While Trump won the race and Republicans maintained control in the Senate and House, some races are still undecided and there's a lot we still don't know.
Here's a look:
Early Wednesday, Michigan remained undecided. Though by early afternoon, Trump had won Michigan by 13,225 votes -- a margin of less than three-tenths of a percent -- out of more some 4.8 million cast, according to unofficial results posted late this morning by the state.
Senate race is too close to call in N.H., and Louisiana has to wait:
New Hampshire: Gov. Maggie Hassan, a Democrat, declared victory in New Hampshire, though Kelly Ayotte, her Republican, opponent was not read to concede, AP reported. The women are competing for Ayotte's Senate seat in a race that cost $100 million, according to the New York Times.

Louisiana: A December runoff will decide whether Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy or Foster Campbel, a Democratic Public Service Commissioner, will replace retiring Republican Sen. David Vitter.
Governor race too close to call in N.C.
Republican Gov. Pat McCrory has not conceded, despite Democrat Roy Cooper claiming victory in the state. Gov. McCrory said early Wednesday that he didn't expect final results until Nov. 18, WTVD-TV reported.
What does this mean for professional football in San Diego?
The future of professional football in San Diego has been cast into doubt after voters overwhelmingly defeated a new downtown stadium plan for the San Diego Chargers in Tuesday's election. Team owner Dean Spanos now has until Jan. 15 to make a decision: Should he move the franchise to Los Angeles to share a lucrative new stadium with the Los Angeles Rams?
What does this mean for Obamacare and Supreme Court justices?
With Republicans maintaining control of the House and Senate, President-elect Trump could be in a position to repeal large parts of Obama's legislative agenda, repeal his executive orders with a stroke of a pen, and install conservative Supreme Court justices.

What does Trump's win mean for abortion rights in the United States? During an October debate, Trump said he was "pro-life," and noted that if Roe v. Wade, which has protected abortion rights since 1973, would "automatically" be overturned when he appoints justices to the high court.

Bonfires, fireworks, tear gas, and marching in the street -- thousands turned out in Oakland to protest President-elect Trump.

Seven thousand were demonstrating, some set fires, a police car was vandalized and one officer was injured.

Anti-trump protesters first gathered at Frank Ogawa Plaza Wednesday night and the crowd grew to some 7,000. They took over Webster Street in Downtown Oakland and marched. All was peaceful.

Police surrounded them and the march splintered into smaller groups at Washington and 8th street. Suddenly, a Trump piñata was up in flames and flash bangs were going off in the streets.

Several buildings were vandalized and there were reports of looting and building fires throughout Wednesday night. Police have made arrests.

The protest started with people who are sincerely concerned about the views and actions of president elect Donald Trump.

People chanted, "Go away Donald Trump," as they marched down Oakland streets in response to the results of the presidential election.

"To me it's like I kind of lost faith in America," said one protester.

"When we don't have equity and we don't have justice we will resist,"

Jumoke Hinton Hodge said as a newly elected Oakland school board member she's concerned about students.

"Many of our teachers had to be with students who are scared to death of what may happen, Latino children, Muslim Arabic children," Hodge said.

Others worry about the message sent to their daughters.

"Two girls going to sleep thinking they were waking up to the first woman president and woke up to a nightmare instead. We had to show them that there was still hope today. That there are people believe that they're the future and that we have hope," said Eleza and Hil Jaeger.

The Oakland Police Department estimated some 6,000 marched, most peacefully until people started spray painting, smashing windows, and starting fires. One officer was injured.

"This whole election had me jittery, I mean just the whole thing, just watching it unfold, how can he get this far?," said Bernard Massey of Oakland.

Thousands of people coast-to-coast took to the streets Wednesday night to protest Donald Trump's election, disrupting traffic, chanting anti-Trump slogans and some ending up in handcuffs.

From New England to heartland cities like Kansas City and along the West Coast, demonstrators bore flags and effigies of the president-elect, disrupting traffic and declaring that they refused to accept Trump's victory.

Some California cities saw heated tensions over Trump's election. Thousands of protesters burned a giant papier mache Trump head in Los Angeles and started fires in Oakland intersections.

Los Angeles demonstrators also beat a Trump piñata and sprayed the Los Angeles Times building and news vans with anti-Trump profanity. One protester outside LA City Hall read a sign that simply said "this is very bad."

Late in the evening several hundred people blocked one of the city's busiest freeways, U.S. 101 between downtown and Hollywood.

Los Angeles police told CBS Los Angeles that at least 13 people were arrested in the protests.

In Oakland, several thousand people gathered in Frank Ogawa Palaza, police said, clogging intersections and freeway on-ramps. According to KTVU, police used tear gas to disperse protesters after an unlawful assembly was declared.

Oakland police said one protesters was cited and a small number of protesters were arrested on suspicion of disobedience.

A similar protest in Manhattan drew about 1,000 people. Outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in midtown, police installed barricades to keep the demonstrators at bay.

According to NBC New York, at least 60 people were arrested in the Manhattan protests.

"America is not voting for Donald Trump's policies, which don't exist," one protester told the station. "They voted for sexism, racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism."

Other protesters echoed "Not my president" chants, which had been heard in several cities across the U.S.

In Chicago, several thousand people marched through the Loop. They gathered outside Trump Tower, chanting "Not my president!" One resident Michael Burke said he believes the president-elect stands to divide the nation and stir up a deep-seated hatred. He added there was a constitutional duty not to accept that outcome.

Hundreds of protesters gathered near Philadelphia's City Hall despite chilly, wet weather. Participants - who included both supporters of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who lost to Clinton in the primary - expressed anger at both Republicans and Democrats over the election's outcome.

In Boston, thousands of anti-Trump protesters streamed through downtown, chanting "Trump's a racist" and carrying signs that said "Impeach Trump" and "Abolish Electoral College." Clinton appears to be on pace to win the popular vote, despite losing the electoral count that decides the presidential race.

In the Midwest, protesters gathered in Minneapolis, Omaha, Nebraska and Kansas City Missouri. The Des Moines Register also reported that Iowa's capital city saw some people protest as well, though it was kept to small numbers.

Marchers protesting Trump's election chanted and carried signs in front of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Media outlets broadcast video Wednesday night showing a peaceful crowd in front of the new downtown hotel. Many chanted "No racist USA, no Trump, no KKK."

Another group stood outside the White House. They held candles, listened to speeches and sang songs.

Dallas activists gathered by the dozens outside the city's sports arena, the American Airlines Center.

In Oregon, dozens of people blocked traffic in downtown Portland, burned American flags and forced a delay for trains on two light-rail lines. Earlier, the protest in downtown drew several Trump supporters, who taunted the demonstrators with signs. A lone Trump supporter was chased across Pioneer Courthouse Square and hit in the back with a skateboard before others intervened.

Many held anti-Trump and Black Lives Matter signs and chanted slogans, including "Misogyny has to go," and "The people united, will never be defeated."

Five people were shot and injured in an area near the protest, but police said the shootings and the demonstration were unrelated.

Back in New York, several groups of protesters caused massive gridlock as police mobilized to contain them under a light rain.

They held signs that read "Trump Makes America Hate" and chanted "hey, hey, ho, ho Donald Trump has got to go." and "Impeach Trump."

Thousands take to streets in major cities to protest Trump election

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Thousands of people coast-to-coast took to the streets Wednesday night to protest Donald Trump's election, disrupting traffic, chanting anti-Trump slogans and some ending up in handcuffs. From New England to heartland cities like Kansas City and along the West Coast, demonstrators bore flags and effigies of the president-elect, disrupting traffic and declaring that they refused to accept Trump's victory.

The stocks of publicly traded private prison companies are soaring early Wednesday in the first day of trading following Donald Trump's shocking electoral victory.

Many traders seem to expect a Trump administration to reverse the Obama administration's August decision to not use privately run facilities to house federal prisoners, or to expand these companies' involvement in immigration detention.

Shares of GEO Group are up over 17.5% to $28, while shares of CCA (Corrections Corporation of America) are up 34% to $19. The companies' shares had fallen at least 35% on the day DOJ announced its policy change this past summer.

Analysts at Compass Point called for-profit prisons a "clear beneficiary" of a Trump administration. The companies were "were likely to face negative headlines and persistent contract uncertainty under a Clinton White House," but the analysts predicted that a Trump administration would be "more supportive given its focus on immigration and crime."

In the 2014 fiscal year, the federal Bureau of Prisons spent $639 million on private prisons, according to a DOJ Inspector General Report. "Disturbances in several federal contract prisons resulted in extensive property damage, bodily injury, and the death of a Correctional Officer," the Inspector General said.

Although the policy change only affected around 22,000 inmates in private prisons contracted by the federal government, it was widely seen in the markets as a sign that public policy had broadly turned against the companies' operations and further growth.

Following the DOJ policy change, CCA rebranded from "Corrections Corporation of America" to CoreCivic, which it said stood for "Solving tough government problems; a strong sense of service."

While the companies are best known for operating prisons, they have been long criticized by activists for their role in immigration detention and monitoring.

"A key factor underlying the explosion in the number of immigrants in custody is the expanded role of for-profit prison companies in the US immigration detention system," the liberal think tank Center for American Progress said in a report late last year.

CCA got a $1 billion contract in 2014 to build a facility to house Central American migrants in South Texas, while GEO Group bought a company in 2011 that had a contract with Immigration Customs and Enforcement to monitor and supervise people who are released from detention by ICE, frequently with ankle bracelets. "Immigrants in these programs must frequently report to an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations field office, wear an ankle bracelet, or both, severely restricting their mobility," the CAP report said.

Washington DC, US - In a college bar in the centre of town, students from the DC College Democrats gathered en masse to watch the US election results come in over beer and burgers.

With TV screens surrounding the bar's walls, and the sound on high, it was impossible to escape the electric energy that filled the room. As early electoral counts arrived indicating Clinton victories, the bar roared in celebration. With every state Trump won, the sound of boos was overwhelming.

As the night progressed, however, the mood grew increasingly sombre as projections increasingly suggested a Trump victory was becoming a possibility. The fate of the battleground state of Florida, which ultimately fell to Trump, attracted particular attention, as the Republican surged through an early Clinton lead.

Results continued to flood in and when it was clear that Donald J Trump would be the US' 45th president - the young crowd was silent.

"I'm in shock," said 19-year-old student Katy Turner. "I was calm all day. I spent the weekend campaigning in Pennsylvania and I was sure [Clinton] had it in the bag."

Colleen Reynolds, 21, a student, felt unnerved at the prospect of a Trump presidency: "Shock and fear are the emotions I feel. No one knows what [Trump's] policies are, I don't think even he knows what his policies are, but really my greatest fear is not about the policies he might pass, it's about how divisive he is."

Turner agreed: "He validates so much bigotry in this country, he validates hateful behaviour all across America."

Reynolds was was determined to look to the future and what was still possible. "I'm nervous, but everyone in this room is going to have to wake up tomorrow morning and think how are we going to make the best of this situation," she said.

"I would really hope Trump surrounds himself with policy experts. I'm deeply concerned that the leader of our country doesn't know what's going on."

Youth support for Clinton

According to latest census data, there are 83.1 million millennials living in the US today, a group defined as those born between 1982 and 2000. And while it is still unknown exactly how many voted in Tuesday's elections, a high youth turnout had been thought to have been a likely tool in Clinton's early advantage, but ultimately not enough to secure her victory.

"Turnout is difficult in the US, it's not like in Australia where it is compulsory, but I know a lot of young people who were excited to vote," said recent graduate and real-estate agent, Daniel Warwick, 23.

With a veteran politician on one side and a businessman turned reality TV star on the other - it was never clear which campaign would wholly capture the hearts of America's youngest voters.
Watch: Craziest moments from Donald Trump's campaign
Despite Trump's promise to add $20bn of federal spending towards higher education institutions and his pledge to work with congress to ensure that universities make expansive efforts to reduce the cost of college programs, millennials never really warmed to the Republican according to polls.

However, that did not affect what ultimately resulted in a surprising win for the political newcomer.

"A lot of people predicted a Clinton victory. However, that may have kept some people from coming out to vote," said Stephen Farnsworth, professor of Political Science at the University of Mary Washington. "Clinton clearly didn't excite young people the way Obama did."

Farnsworth said that it is uncertain what a Trump presidency would entail but that "it is clear that anger is a very powerful motivator for voters".

'Heartbroken'

For students in the bar, the atmosphere was solemn. "I'm genuinely shocked, disheartened and heartbroken about this outcome," said 21-year-old political science student, Kelli Slater.

"I'm horribly disillusioned because I believe a vote for Trump is horribly inconsiderate and selfish," she said.

"I don't know how you can vote for him while taking into consideration the lives of women, black people, Mexicans, Muslims, immigrants, the disabled and so on. I'll continue to fight and make this country as great I possibly can, but the 'make American great again' calls back to a time in this country I have no interest in revisiting."

For Nicholas Kram Mendelsohn, 21, a student, who is also running for local office in DC, the result was overwhelming. "I'm thinking about my generation and how our future may have been decided for us and we may not have been paying attention," he said. "I think from here, we just need to get to work building up our communities."

Whatever mechanics may have been behind Trump's shock victory, as the bar emptied out and college students headed back to their dorms, America looked set to awaken on Wednesday to face an uncertain future.

Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media.

People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids - all while the rich become very much richer.

To the degree that Mr Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him.

To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him.

After Donald Trump's shocking victory in the U.S. presidential election on Tuesday night, a number of his fellow billionaires -- many of whom had supported Clinton-- took to Twitter to express their feelings, a call for unity and thoughts about the way forward.

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has been an outspoken Clinton supporter for much of this election cycle, criticizing Trump's policies and questioning the size of his fortune. Late Tuesday night, Cuban tweeted:

On Wednesday morning he added:

Billionaire Marc Benioff, the CEO and founder of software firm Salesforce and a Clinton supporter, tweeted Wednesday morning to congratulate Trump and ask for unity:

Billionaire and AOL founder Steve Case, who endorsed Clinton in his first ever presidential endorsement in September, tweeted a link to a piece he wrote on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce website in May.

My Letter To President-elect Trump https://t.co/h9v2GFmj0P "250 years ago America itself was a startup. It was just an idea."

- Steve Case (@SteveCase) November 9, 2016

Across the ocean, British billionaire w is not the time to create more division," Richard Branson, who said last month that a Trump presidency would be a "disaster," expressed his fears but called for unity in a post on his website. "[N]o he wrote. "We do so sadly, but have to accept the outcome of the election."

It is not up to one man to shape the world we live in - it is up to all of us https://t.co/7vjXexZzhT pic.twitter.com/tGcSK7sG9a

- Richard Branson (@richardbranson) November 9, 2016

Venture capitalist and billionaire Chris Sacca congratulated Trump on Twitter Wednesday morning and then called on him to stop messages of hate coming out of the election.

President-Elect Trump, we are looking to you to make clear that this kind of hate is not okay in today's America. https://t.co/lnRXPTwV1M

- Chris Sacca (@sacca) November 9, 2016

In a statement posted on his company's website, billionaire Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said he was "stunned" at the election results. "As Americans, we must honor the democratic process," he wrote. "We have a president-elect in Donal Trump, and it is our responsibility as citizens to give him the opportunity to govern well and bring our country together."

In an emailed statement to FORBES, billionaire Russ Weiner, the founder of energy drink Rockstar and a long-time Trump supporter, wrote, "What an amazing result. America wanted a strong leader. Borders. It's what did it for him. Immigration. Protect Americans. That's the key. Overrode any flaws. Incredible."

Billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel has received backlash over the past few months as one of the only prominent people in Silicon Valley to support and donate to Trump's campaign. In a statement from his spokesperson to FORBES, he said, "Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump. He has an awesomely difficult task, since it is long past time for us to face up to our country's problems. We're going to need all hands on deck."

On Wednesday night, billionaire Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg weighed in on the election for the first time since posting a picture of his ballot sticker on Tuesday. Zuckerberg didn't mention Trump by name and instead focused on his baby daughter Max. "Holding Max, I thought about all the work ahead of us to create the world we want for our children," he wrote. "This work is bigger than any presidency and progress does not move in a straight line."

The president-elect, a prolific Twitter user himself, tweeted once last night after the results were announced:

Trump won the election Tuesday night because of the electoral college, losing the popular vote by 1% to Hillary Clinton based on the votes that have been tallied so far. Four years ago, though, he had a different view of the electoral college:

BERKELEY (CBS SF) - Thousands of students walked out of several East Bay high schools Wednesday, protesting Republican Donald Trump's presidential election victory.

Students at Berkeley High, Bishop O'Dowd, Albany High and Oakland Tech all staged walkouts. Meanwhile, several hundred students staged a noontime rally at San Jose's Lincoln High School and El Ceritto police sent out an alert at 1 p.m. asking drivers to be careful because walkouts were underway at several Contra Costa County schools.
* ALSO READ: #Calexit: Trump Election Sparks Calls For California To Secede
Bishop O'Dowd officials issued a statement saying students came to school today feeling frustrated and powerless after Tuesday night's results.

"Many of our O'Dowd students came to school this morning feeling frustrated, confused and powerless," the statement read. "Administrators discussed prior to school starting this morning our responsibility to provide safe spaces in classrooms for students to process their thoughts and emotions, adhering to principles of civility and mutual respect."

"We advised teachers to allow students, regardless of viewpoint, to name their feelings, claim those feelings, and for teachers to validate our students' perspectives and feelings."

Meanwhile, Berkeley Unified School District spokesman Charles Burress said about 1,500 Berkeley High School students participated in their protest that began around 8:20 a.m., just as classes were getting underway at the school at 1980 Allston Way.

Students then gathered outside the school, taking turns to speak on microphone.

Burress estimated about half the school's students were participating. Classes, however, were still being held for students wishing to attend.

"Donald Trump may be president, but we are going to make sure that this man, that he is going to prioritize the well being of the people, so please join us in this fight," an unidentified student said during the protest, addressing the large crowd.

"He wants us to turn against each other," another female student said to the crowd as she held back tears. "I just want to emphasize that as young people it's our job to continue to fight like our parents fought for us."

Burress said the students have been very focused and respectful of each other and the situation.

"The district prefers that its students are in class and participating," Burress said. "However, we do understand their concern and we take it very seriously when they feel passionate about political issues. We're doing everything we can to support them."

The students then marched to the nearby University of California-Berkeley campus and were joined there by dozens of college students and 500 students from nearby Albany High.

Within hours of Trump's victory speech early Wednesday, Putin congratulated the US president-electand flagged Moscow's willingness to restore ties fully with its old Cold War foe, currently at loggerheads over the Syrian conflict.

Russia featured heavily in a heated campaign, with Trump praising Putin as a firm leader as US officials accused Moscow of meddling byleaking hacked Democratic campaign emails to undermine Hillary Clinton's candidacy.

"(Trump) spoke about resuming and restoring relations with Russia. We understand the way to that will be difficult, taking into account the current state of degradation of relations between the US and Russia," Putin told Russian state television.

"As I have repeatedly said, that is not our fault that Russia-US relations are in that state. Russia is ready and wants to restore the fully fledged relations with the US. I repeat we understand this will be difficult, but we are ready to play our part in it."

But not all Russians were convinced. Garry Kasparov, the Russian chess grandmaster and fierce Putin critic, tweeted his reaction to Trump's victory: "Winter Is Here." Kasparov wrote a critical book about Putin called "Winter Is Coming."

Diplomatic headaches

The uncertainty about what a Trump presidency will mean for diplomatic relations was reflected in anxious statements from other parts of the world, particularly Europe.

European Council President Donald Tusk said: "While respecting the democratic choice of the American people, we are at the same time aware of the new challenges that these results bring. One of them is this moment of uncertainty over the future of our transatlantic relations."

"The events of the last months and days should be treated as a warning sign for all who believe in liberal democracy," he said."This means that we should finally get our act together and bring back a sense of direction, bring back confidence, bring back a sense of order. Also in the global context whether we talk about trade, migration or security."

French President François Hollande's reaction was also far from enthusiastic.

"The people of America have spoken. I have congratulated Mr. Trump, as it is usual in this situation. I thought of Clinton, with whom I worked during the Obama administration. This result leads to uncertainty," he said, adding that the United States remained an ally of France's.

"I also urge vigilance because of statements made by Donald Trump," he said.

Meanwhile, Cuban President Raul Castro sent a congratulatory message to Trump. The President-elect also heard from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with whom he spoke by phone.

Trump may have to smooth out his relationship with China after he painted the Asian powerhouse as a threat to American jobs during his campaign, making statements such as the United States" can't continue to allow China to rape our country."

Nonetheless, Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated him in a phone call and later told state-run China Central Television that the two countries "shoulder a special responsibility" as the world's largest developed and developing nations.

"China pays high attention to the Sino-US relationship and hopes to develop a sound, long-term and stable relationship with the US," Xi said.

He added he hoped to "settle all disputes with the US in accordance with the principle of nonconfrontation."

The United States under the Obama administration has built up its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. It regularly carries out military exercises with countries in dispute with Beijing over territory and resources in the South China Sea.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had this to say about the election: "The stability of the Asia-Pacific region, which is a driving force of the global economy, brings peace and prosperity to the United States. Japan and the United States are unwavering allies tied firmly with the bond of universal values such as freedom, democracy, basic human rights and the rule of law."

Issue of US-Mexico wall

Trump sparked outrage from Mexico during his presidential bid, describing Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug dealers, and proposing a wall between the two countries at Mexico's expense to stem the flow of migrants.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox told CNN he was "shocked by the news" and said his country would never pay for Trump's proposed wall on the US-Mexico border.

"Of course Mexico will never pay for that f***ing wall," Fox told CNN's John Defterios at the Global Business Forum on Latin America in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

"He's been very ignorant about the difference between being a mediocre businessman and running a nation, especially a nation like the United States."

But the current Mexican President, Enrique Peña Nieto, struck a more conciliatory tone.

"Mexico and the US are friends, partners and allies and we should continue to collaborate for the competitive development of North America," he wrote on Twitter.

Peña Nieto said he has agreed to a meeting with Trump, possibly during the transitional period.

The Mexican leader said: "Mexico and the US are allies, associates, and neighbors. When Mexico does well, the US does well. And when the US does well, Mexico does well. With this in mind, we've agreed that our teams will be in touch to start designing a new work agenda, one that incorporates themes of common interest such as security, cooperation, and our societies' prosperity."

Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke on the phone in a scheduled call on Wednesday, and Maduro asked Kerry to pass his congratulations to Trump, Venezuela's foreign ministry announced. Maduro underlined the need to "establish a positive work agenda for the next administration."

Trump has also proposed a blanket ban on Muslims entering the country.

British Prime Minister Theresa May was diplomatic in her congratulations, saying the two nations shared a "special relationship based on the values of freedom, democracy and enterprise."

"We are, and will remain, strong and close partners on trade, security and defense," she said.

Far-right parties celebrate

Europe's far-right party leaders are cheering Trump's win, including Britain's Nigel Farage, the outgoing leader of the UK Independence Party, and France's Marine Le Pen, who sent Trump a congratulatory tweet early Wednesday, adding a pat on the back for the "free" American people.

Le Pen's father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder of the National Front, took to Twitter to say, "Long live President Trump!" -- and claim Trump as part of a worldwide populist wave.

"The American people want Donald Trump to be the people's president. Today the United States, tomorrow France. Bravo!" Le Pen wrote.

Far-right leaders in the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, the Czech Republic, Italy and Serbia, among other places, also have voiced support for Trump. The hard-right Greek party, Golden Dawn, went so far as to make a pro-Trump video with neo-Nazis.

On Wednesday, Europe woke up to an election result few had expected or favored. They also woke up to the 27th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

It did not take long for commentators to point out the irony of that coincidence: Many Europeans continue to be particularly shocked by Trump's plans to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.

Plans to build walls are not unique to the U.S., of course: The number of border fences has been on the rise for years, in Europe and elsewhere. Hungary, for instance, recently installed a fence to stop the influx of refugees into the country. Other E.U. nations reintroduced border controls for the same reason.

Trump's planned wall at the U.S.-Mexican border has nevertheless caused a stronger backlash, particularly in Western Europe - partially because the announcement was accompanied by other statements by the Republican candidate.

Across the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of miles from Washington, Europe's politicians are struggling to understand the full implications of a Trump presidency.

Is he serious about Germans and French facing "extreme vetting" if they travel to the United States, due to recent terrorist attacks in their country? Will he worsen the situation of Muslims living in the U.S.? And what will be the impact of improved relations between the U.S. and Russia on the Middle East and Syria, in particular?

In a July poll, only 6.3 percent of Germans said they were in favor of a Trump presidency. Similar numbers were reported from across Europe. As of now, there are few signs that Trump and Europe will get along better than those polls suggest.

"Angela Merkel now really is the leader of the free world," journalist Christoph Amend commented on Wednesday morning, referring to a common perception in Europe that Trump is an authoritarian populist. Europeans have been more careful than some Americans about making comparisons between Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump but liberals on the "old" continent have nevertheless been vocal at expressing their disdain for the candidate.

The U.S. elections have divided the country. Now, Europeans are worried that a Trump presidency could end up dividing Europe, as well.

Donald Trump's relatively friendly attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin has confused European leaders who are increasingly worried about Russia's military movements at the continent's eastern borders and in Syria. Now, 27 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of Western-Soviet hostility, tensions are running high again.

So far, U.S. military support for Western Europe has remained virtually unchallenged and an integral part of European nations' defense strategy. Will that support remain the same under Trump as president?

In Europe, many also fear that Donald Trump could fuel new ideological divisions between liberal governments and more populist ones. This could ultimately end up splitting Europe once again, although in a far different way than 27 years ago.

Next year, the French will vote for a new president. Right-wing National Front candidate Marine Le Pen has a serious chance of winning that election. She was one of the first politicians to congratulate Trump on Wednesday morning.

Allies recoiled. Adversaries rejoiced. And on the day after U.S. voters made Donald Trump the country's 45th president, the world was left to collectively wonder: What happened to America?

The question hung in the air even as once-unthinkable congratulatory messages poured into Trump Tower from capitals across the globe.

Foreign leaders who had spent months disparaging the Republican nominee as unfit for office were forced to reckon with the reality that he will soon govern the world's sole superpower. U.S. foes who may have only dreamed of a Trump presidency seemed to scarcely believe their good fortune.

[Live updates from the 2016 election and reactions]

Through it all on Wednesday was a palpable sense that Trump's stunning victory could fundamentally transform the global order - though in this endlessly unpredictable year, no one dared forecast exactly how.

"We have no idea what this American president is going to do, when this voice of anger will be the most powerful man in the world," Norbert Röttgen, chairman of the German Parliament's foreign affairs committee, told public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk. "Whether he knows his allies and friends, how he is going to approach Vladimir Putin, an authoritarian ruler, how he is going to act when it comes to the question of nuclear armament, all these questions are completely open."

That profound uncertainty was masked by a succession of bland statements from Trump's soon-to-be counterparts among the ranks of global leaders.

[Intelligence community is already feeling a sense of dread about Trump ]

Through gritted teeth, democratically elected allies congratulated Trump on his victory and promised business as usual.

In Britain - where the Parliament in January debated banning Trump from even visiting the country - Prime Minister Theresa May said her nation and the United States had "an enduring and special relationship based on the values of freedom, democracy and enterprise." That, she insisted, would carry forward under Trump.

Global autocrats were far more enthusiastic.

News of the Republican's victory was greeted with broad smiles and a round of applause in the lower house of the Russian parliament. In a Moscow ceremony to welcome new ambassadors, Putin referenced Trump's call for warmer ties and said "Russia is ready and willing to restore full-fledged relations with the United States."

Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, whose record of imprisoning opponents and restricting speech has earned him condemnation from human rights groups, said he "looks forward to the presidency of President Donald Trump to inject a new spirit into the trajectory of Egyptian-American relations."

In a later statement, Sissi's office boasted that the Egyptian president was the first world leader to reach Trump by phone and personally congratulate him.

Burundi's controversial leader, Pierre Nkurunziza, who has been accused of directing the killing of civilians, said of Trump, "Your victory is the victory of all Americans."

Democracy activists and human rights campaigners, meanwhile, were despairing.

In Brazil, analysts noted that the United States now has the kind of leader more commonly associated with Latin America - a "caudilho," an authoritarian and charismatic figure often linked to military or landowning elites who responds to a desire for "dramatic solutions."

"The North American electorate broke open the shell of the serpent's egg that Donald Trump incubated during the campaign this Tuesday," wrote Clóvis Rossi, a columnist for Brazil's Folha de S.Paulo newspaper. "Therefore all of the demons that the politically correct had buried or at least eased in United States society are loose."

In the Middle East, Trump's win was seen as a decisive victory for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Egypt's Sissi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other leaders who routinely flout the rights of their political opponents.

"[Trump] is not going to talk about human rights, definitely," said Hisyar Ozsoy, a parliament member representing Turkey's opposition pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party, or HDP, whose leaders have recently been arrested. "He will remain deaf and blind to whatever happens here if he wants to work with Turkey."

Erdogan, who had criticized Trump during the presidential campaign for showing intolerance toward Muslims, said the Republican's victory was a "positive sign" and the "beginning of a new era in the United States."

[Markets staggered by Trump's shock victory but stage partial recovery]

There was no such optimism among the United States' closest democratic allies.

In Europe, there was never any secret about the continent's overwhelming preference for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

For months, leaders have spoken openly of their contempt for Trump and their fear of the consequences should he be elected - views that, according to pre-election polls, were reflected in a European public that saw a Trump win as a reason to be "afraid." On Wednesday, the terms "shock" and "nightmare" were trending on Twitter in Germany.

Trump's win had many European nations scrambling to understand his intentions on foreign policy, which have been only loosely sketched out.

Envoys from major U.S. allies typically meet campaign advisers to Democrats and Republicans ahead of elections to try to understand how elections will affect them. That was easy to do with the Clinton campaign, which was studded with veterans from her decades in the public eye. But countries such as Germany - Europe's dominant power - have not been able to secure meetings with the Trump campaign, officials said.

In Brussels, diplomats fretted about the consequences for NATO, which was the target of sharp rhetoric from Trump during the campaign as he questioned the priorities of the military alliance. While the Obama administration has committed a battalion of troops to Eastern Europe to deter a resurgent Russia, Trump has proposed a radically different approach to the Kremlin.

But mainstream leaders who just a day before were openly criticizing Trump moved quickly Wednesday to play nice, recognizing that they had no choice but to work with the new American president.

"It wasn't what we were expecting," said David McAllister, a German lawmaker who is the head of the European Parliament's delegation to the United States. "We Europeans need the Americans to guarantee our security, and we have a huge interest in transatlantic relations."

The quiet grimaces from Europe's mainstream contrasted vividly with the cheers from the continent's far right.

Trump's win was immediately seen as a possible harbinger of a far-right victory in France's 2017 presidential election, which analysts now say could represent a third chapter in a string of stunning populist upheavals.

"It's a divine surprise for the National Front," said Dominique Moisi, a co-founder of the French Institute for International Relations. "Suddenly the possibility that after Brexit and after Trump there could be Marine Le Pen is striking the French."

To many in Britain, Trump's victory was stunning - but also familiar, coming as it did less than five months after the country voted to leave the European Union.

"Trump said himself that his election would be 'Brexit plus plus.' and he was right," said Thomas Roulet, a management professor at King's College London.

Nowhere was the result felt more keenly than in Mexico, where the peso crumbled. "It feels like our nightmare is here," tweeted Jorge Guajardo, who was Mexico's ambassador to China from 2007 to 2013.

Trump's disdain for Mexican immigrants and his pledges to build a wall along the Mexican border and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement have made him a figure of hate for many Mexicans.

"Mexico will have a very big problem having good relations with him," said Raul Benitez Manaut, a professor at Mexico's National Autonomous University. "Mexicans are very nationalistic, and they feel aggrieved by Trump."

In South Africa, as well, many were angered by the election of a man who had called their nation "a crime-ridden mess that is just waiting to explode."

A Trump victory "is a victory for right-wing‚ racist politics. It doesn't bode well for the world," Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille told the country's Business Day newspaper.

Trump's victory was also deeply concerning to the governments in Japan and South Korea, Washington's two closest allies in Asia. On the campaign trail, Trump had repeatedly pledged to upend the American military pacts with both countries, saying neither was paying enough for its defense against a nuclear-armed North Korea and a strengthening China.

"The current situation seems like the beginning of the U.S.'s decline and a beginning of the failure of democracy," said Hasung Jang, a professor of finance at Korea University in Seoul.

China's state media made a similar point.

"The probably most divisive and scandalous election in American history has eroded voters' faith in the two-party system, as many voters called it a game of money, power, and influence," wrote the state-run Xinhua News Agency.

Meanwhile, governments that have been out of favor under President Obama foresaw new opportunities under Trump. Israeli politicians called for Trump to make good on his campaign promise to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, a long-running source of contention. And they predicted an even bigger triumph in the region's decades of conflict.

"The era of the Palestinian state is over," said Education Minister Naftali Bennett.

Others in countries on the outs with Obama were far less sanguine.

In the Philippines, the mood was somber at the U.S. Embassy's election party, with a crowd of Filipino Americans and students eager to study in the United States expressing fear, shock and disappointment.

"The U.S. is known as a country for immigrants, as the land of the free, but he wants to build a wall," said Carlos Llamas, a 19-year-old college junior studying consular and diplomatic affairs. "As president you are chief diplomat for your country, but he doesn't act like that."

After Trump's victory, the world is left to wonder: What happened to America?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Allies recoiled. Adversaries rejoiced. And on the day after U.S. voters made Donald Trump the country's 45th president, the world was left to collectively wonder: What happened to America? The question hung in the air even as once-unthinkable congratulatory messages poured into Trump Tower from capitals across the globe.

Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, vote at PS 59 in New York on Nov. 8, 2016.

Trump's win is an endorsement of racism, a validation of bigotry, a confirmation that nearly half of Americans would like a man who does not believe in equal rights, and, at least until he won, the sanctity of the democratic process, to lead our country.

And hovering over all of those beliefs is a stark truth: the way Donald Trump has talked about, allegedly acted toward, and fundamentally conceived of women is the way that the majority of Americans conceive of women. Call it "locker room talk," call it "just the way it is," or call it by its true name: misogyny. In electing President Trump, the nation has ratified a backlash that has been gaining slow but terrifying steam just beneath the surface of the recent feminist resurgence.

No matter the endorsements for Hillary from Beyoncé and Rihanna and Katy Perry and Lena Dunham, or the hundreds of thousands of posts in "secret" Hillary support groups, which increasingly feel like tragic melodrama, the underlying fact remains: As a nation, we remain firm in the notion that women should not control their own reproductive health, that men should retain the liberty to judge and touch and control women's bodies at will, and that the idea of a woman in power neutralizes any concerns over a neo-fascist future of the nation.

Over the last month, I talked to hundreds of female Trump supporters about their candidate's treatment of women, and the message was always a variation on the same theme: It does not matter. Some women told me that their husbands spoke to them like Trump - that they'd think something was wrong with them if they didn't. Others suggested that Trump may well be a letch - but that, at age 70, he'd simply run out of the capacity to act on it. One sixtysomething woman told me that getting grabbed was a way for her to know she was still desirable.

Evangelical women said he disgusted them - that he wasn't Christ-like, that he wasn't a believer, that he might not even be moral - but they had to vote platform, e.g. anti-abortion. Well-dressed, high-class women in the suburbs underlined that they didn't believe everything that he said, but they loved Ivanka - whose classiness helped wash the more trashy aftertaste of Trump out their mouths. Whatever their explanations, the underlying fact remained: Trump's disrespect for women - his evident understanding of them as property or props - simply did not matter. Or, at the very least, did not matter enough.

These women, it must be noted, were overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly straight, and overwhelmingly middle-class. They were not the "working poor" that have so often been singled out as the prototypical Trump supporters. They are the status quo - and, stated or not, they are fundamentally invested in maintaining the status quo, which includes white supremacy.

And part of that status quo is patriarchy: the notion that women will continue to be second-class citizens, subject to men's understanding of what they should be able to do, touch, and grab when it comes to their bodies - and legislate and punish when it comes to their actions. I'm not suggesting these women have some sort of false consciousness - that they think they're empowered, and actually aren't - I'm stating that they fundamentally think disempowerment is okay, so long as they maintain their other (white, straight) sources of privilege. Tavi Gevinson starkly referred to this swath of voters as "white women who hate people of color more than they like having rights to their own bodies." Many women fail to recognize Trump's explicit stances and policies towards people of color and Muslims as "hate," but I know no more appropriate word for what Trump voters have signaled in terms of how non-white, non-Christian, non-straight people should be treated.

That pre-feminist understanding of womanhood has collided with and been exacerbated by the first female major-party candidate for president - a second-wave feminist who has spent her public career inflaming insecurities about what a woman should look, sound, and act like. The hatred that's accumulated around her can be attributed to many factors - to increased dissatisfaction with political insiders, or rage at the reality of globalism - but the underlying trigger is, at heart, her gender.

It's not that Clinton's a soft woman, or even a shrill woman, so much as a sneaky woman: That's what is at the heart of the investment in her private email server, and the investigation of the Clinton Foundation, and the suspicion that she, along with her confidante Huma Abedin, have conspired to hide a grand, dark - yet ultimately undiscoverable - truth from the American people. For many, that's the real, if unconscious, fear: that women will take, women have been taking, the reins of power, the keys to the system, the position of the presidency.

At the heart of all of this perceived duplicitousness, after all, is Clinton's unrepentant ambition. It's Clinton's defining character trait: Her understanding of her worth is so strong that she's refused, at every point in her life and career, to let men define her. When her husband stood on stage at the Democratic National Convention, for example, and recounted when he "met a girl" in 1971, it was ultimately a story of a woman so driven and sure of her value that the former president, a man of similar ambition and intellect, had to find a way to fit into her life, not the other way around.

For Hillary supporters, this approach felt like a clarification of purpose: Yes, many said, this is the type of woman, the type of boldness, the expansiveness of vision we desire. But that approach seems to have backfired, as the constant reminders of Clinton's intellect, ambition, experience, and self-worth served to stoke the fires burning her effigy. Such attributes are only valued by this country, after all, when they apply to men.

Matriarchy isn't the fear. Rather, it's the idea that women will define their own value, and their own futures, on their own terms - instead of by terms men have laid out. Put differently, that each gender, each individual, will have the power to determine their own destiny. To slightly modify the old bumper sticker, it's the radical notion that both men and women are people.

That's what Hillary implicitly promised with her candidacy, and that's what voters have soundly rejected. The articulated ambivalence of many Trump voters varies from "I just couldn't vote for Hillary," to "I'm a straight party Republican," from "He'll have good advisers," to " If he raised Ivanka, he can't be that bad." But the message remains steady: Fear of a female president, and all that she represents, is tenacious enough to neutralize overt bigotry, xenophobia and racism - and manifest misogyny.

In the wake of the election results, a section of Jessica Valenti's book keeps returning to mind: "Given all that women are expected to live with - the leers that start when we've barely begun puberty, the harassment, the violence we survive or are constantly on guard for - I can't help but wonder what it all has done to us," she wrote. "Not just to how women experience the world, but how we experience ourselves. I started to ask myself: Who would I be if I didn't live in a world that hated women? "

What might we be? Perhaps women wouldn't go to college fearing the statistical inevitability of sexual abuse. Perhaps we might be women liberated from the persistence of unequal pay for equal work. And perhaps we might gradually cease to calculate our value based on our ability to regiment our bodies into a highly circumscribed understanding of beauty. Those of us who are nonwhite, queer, fat, disabled, trans, or immigrant might not just be told that we're equal citizens, but perhaps even experience life as such. Perhaps, if we didn't live in a world that hated women, we might not live in fear that a male superior will sexually harass us and force us to make a decision between our integrity or our careers.

We might, in other words, experience something like freedom. And from there, the ability to navigate the world in a posture that is not defined by hesitancy and fear.

But for all of that, America has decided, we must wait.

As election results rolled in Tuesday night and it was becoming clearer and clearer that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States, a CNN anchor decided to try to explain that many in America were worried about the outcome of the vote.

In the now-viral moment, Jones explained that Trump's behavior on the campaign trail - among other things - makes it tough for parents to tell their children about Trump's likely presidential win.

Jones also brought up the fact that Trump's presidential platform includes numerous references to limiting Muslims from entering the country as well as curbing illegal immigration from Mexico.

The moment of the clip that has captured people's attention most intensely, however, was Van Jones calling Trump's victory a "white-lash".

You can read Jones' full comment here:

There's another side to this. People have talked about a miracle; I'm hearing about a nightmare. It's hard to be a parent tonight for a lot of us. You tell your kids don't be a bully. You tell your kids don't be bigot. You tell your kids do your homework, and be prepared. And then you have this outcome and you have people putting children to bed tonight and they're afraid of breakfast. They're afraid of, "how do I explain this to my children?"

I have Muslim friends who are texting me tonight saying, "Should I leave the country?" I have families of immigrants that are terrified tonight. This was many things. This was a rebellion against the elites, true. It was a complete reinvention of politics and polls, it's true. But it was also something else. We've talked about race - I mean, we've talked about everything but race tonight. We've talked about income, we've talked about class, we've talked about region, we haven't talked about race. This was a white-lash. This was a white-lash against a changing country. It was a white-lash against a black president, in part. And that's the part where the pain comes.

And Donald Trump has a responsibility tonight to come out and reassure people that he is going to the president of all the people who he insulted and offended and brushed aside. When you say you want to take your country back, you've got a lot of people who feel that we're not represented well, either. But we don't want to feel that someone has been elected by throwing away some of us to appeal more deeply to others.

So this is a deeply painful moment tonight. I know it's not just about race. There's more going on than that. But race is here too and we got to talk about it.

Jones' "white-lash" comment has gone on to inspire a hashtag on Twitter.

With people sharing their only emotional reactions to Trump's likely presidential win.

Donald J. Trump's victory in the presidential race on Tuesday night capped a remarkable election in which several Democratic Senate candidates fell short and Republicans retained their majority in the House of Representatives. Here are some key takeaways from a stunning result that upended conventional expectations and set the stage for a drastic reordering of politics in Washington:

* Mr. Trump took the stage at the Hilton just before 3 a.m. and told his supporters that Hillary Clinton called him to concede the election. Striking a gracious note, he wished her well and said, "We owe her a major debt of gratitude for her debt to our country."

* Reading from teleprompters and flanked by Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana and his son, Barron, Mr. Trump said he wanted to "reclaim our country's destiny" and be bold and daring. He also called for unity and said that he hoped Democrats and Republicans would work together.

* Democratic hopes that Hillary Clinton would easily defeat Mr. Trump crumbled as the evening wore on, as the Republican candidate's bombastic style appeared to win significant support among white, working-class and rural voters across the country.

* Mrs. Clinton's loss seemed to result, in part, from a worse-than-expected showing among African-Americans and young voters - two important parts of the coalition that lifted President Obama to victories in 2008 and 2012.

* Black voters made up 12 percent of the national electorate this year, nearly the same as in 2012. Mrs. Clinton won a broad majority of black voters - 88 percent, compared with 8 percent for Mr. Trump. But Mr. Obama received 93 percent of the African-American vote four years ago.

* Mrs. Clinton also did slightly worse than Mr. Obama among young voters. People under 30 made up 19 percent of this year's electorate, the same as in 2012. Mrs. Clinton got 54 percent of their support, compared with Mr. Obama's 60 percent. Mr. Trump had the backing of 37 percent of voters under 30, the same percentage that Mitt Romney won in 2012.

* Mr. Trump won in part on his strength with voters who were not strongly identified with either party. Independents made up 31 percent of 2016 voters, compared with 29 percent in 2012. Mrs. Clinton won 42 percent of independents, compared with Mr. Trump's 47 percent, while 6 percent voted for Gary Johnson and 3 percent supported Jill Stein.

* In the key battleground of Florida, Mr. Trump built his support largely on voters who expressed deep dismay with Washington. Nearly nine in 10 of his voters in Florida said they were dissatisfied or angry with the state of the federal government. Just as many disapproved of Mr. Obama's job performance, and three-quarters thought the president's health care law went too far.

* Nearly four in 10 Florida voters said they were most interested in electing a president who would bring serious change, and Mr. Trump won that group by a broad margin. Mrs. Clinton won voters looking for a compassionate, experienced or more judicious leader - but it was not enough to cancel out Mr. Trump's support among those hungry for change.

* Hispanic voters made up 11 percent of voters nationwide in 2016, just 1 point higher than in 2012. While Mrs. Clinton got 65 percent support among Hispanics, compared with 29 percent for Mr. Trump, her support from this group was 6 points lower than Mr. Obama's in 2012.

* While Mrs. Clinton did better than Mr. Trump among nonwhite voters in Florida, it was not enough to offset his success with white voters, who skew older in the state. He won those by nearly 2 to 1, including those with a college degree. One-quarter of Florida's electorate was white and over 60. Mr. Trump pulled most of his support from the Gulf Coast and the central part of the state, a hub for wealthy retirees, offsetting Mrs. Clinton's gaping lead in the Miami and Orlando areas.

*Mr. Trump also did well in Ohio, where voters ages 18 to 29 were 11 points less likely to support the Democratic candidate this year than in 2012, with Mr. Johnson and Ms. Stein capturing 7 percent of their votes. Black voters in Ohio were 6 points less likely to support Mrs. Clinton than they were to support Mr. Obama four years ago.

* In North Carolina, 30 percent of voters were nonwhite, and Mrs. Clinton won this group by a 62-point margin (79 percent to 17 percent). Mr. Trump, countering with a strong showing among whites, won the state.

* The suburban share of the North Carolina vote increased to 38 percent, from 28 percent in 2012, while the share of the rural vote decreased by 10 points, to 24 percent. Mr. Trump won majorities in both groups.

Is Menswear Necessary in a Man's World?

Hillary Rodham Clinton, patron saint of the pantsuit, appeared to me in the moment I needed her most: in the midst of a debilitating crisis of faith in feminism.

It was summer 2014 and I'd flown across the country to intern for a women's empowerment nonprofit in Washington. I'd just finished my freshman year at UC Berkeley, and the boys I'd dated so far were nerdy, progressive, and on average pretty darn respectful. Nothing could have prepared me for what I'd find in D.C.

I was met with a young professional culture where everyone was at least a couple years older than me. Socializing always involved alcohol, usually at dim, sweaty bars in hip neighborhoods. Though I was only nineteen, I was blessed with a hand-me-down ID from a girl at work, so I didn't have to spend all my Friday nights watching TV alone in my apartment.

During my first weekend in D.C., I went with some new friends to Adams Morgan's latest it-bar. I had fun dancing for about twenty minutes. Then I accidentally bumped into a very drunk guy, and he stuck his hands up my dress.

I stood there in a daze, paralyzed by my inability to comprehend what had just happened. I wasn't able to ruminate for long, though, because moments later another guy grabbed me from behind. I felt like that girl who dies first in a zombie movie: dark figures staggering toward me, closing in from every direction, hungry for my flesh.

That night, I learned what it really feels like to be a woman: the toll of never being able to separate myself from my sexuality.

I had come to this city to try to convince myself that I was professional and powerful, but I had never felt more unimportant and vulnerable. It only got worse in the following weeks as older men groped me, made lewd sexual comments about me, and whistled at me on my way to work and then yelled at me when I kept walking. During one professional conversation with a 27-year-old man, I mentioned I'd just finished my freshman year. He blurted, "You're nineteen? Jesus, you're barely legal."

The thing is, when men unfailingly treat you like you don't deserve your humanity, like the only thing special about you is your sexual potential, eventually you start to believe it.

As the hot, sticky, suffocating D.C. summer wore on, things seemed more and more hopeless. What's the point of networking, of bar-hopping, of anything, if all you'll ever be is an object?

Eventually, a bartender realized I wasn't actually 23 and confiscated my fake ID. After that I was happy to spend Friday nights watching TV alone in my apartment. At least no one would try to stick their hands under my clothes there.

In the midst of struggling to come to terms with inescapable objectification, I found myself face-to-face with Hillary Clinton.

The night of the annual gala given by the organization I worked for, my supervisor assigned me the task of illuminating Hillary during her photo op. I anxiously lugged a photography light, teetering in high heels, until Mrs. Clinton's limousine pulled up outside the Kennedy Center. Everyone instantly fell silent as she strode over to her designated spot in front of the camera. For a brief moment between shots, her eyes, as cobalt blue as the pantsuit she wore, met mine.

I was in awe. Here was a woman who was tough as nails, who'd spent her life shattering various glass ceilings, who refused to let men boss her around or make her feel small.

Instantly, I wanted to be just like her, to command as much respect as she did. I bet no drunk guy ever stuck his hands up Hillary's dress, I thought. They physically can't, because she only ever wears pantsuits.

It occurred to me that maybe I'd been doing it wrong. Maybe the reason I failed to command the professional respect Hillary did was because I'd worn pencil skirts and eyeliner to work and to subsequent happy hours, rather than minimal makeup and no-nonsense pantsuits. If I wanted men to stop seeing me as easy prey, maybe I needed to stop looking like it.

So I changed. I cut my long hair so that it was a couple inches shorter than my shoulders. I stopped wearing makeup and shaving my legs. I dressed in loose-fitting, matronly attire for both work and bars alike.

Suddenly, I could leave the house without being groped. My short hair and pantsuit comprised a shield: I could walk to work without being catcalled, and I could have professional conversations with men without getting hit on. The pantsuit, a tried and true symbol of female empowerment, had worked its magic.

Or not.

That summer, whenever I took one last look in the mirror before leaving for work, I didn't recognize the pantsuit-clad person staring back at me. My whole life, I'd had long blonde hair. I'd enjoyed wearing makeup since my mom finally let me experiment with sparkly purple eye shadow in seventh grade. But apparently, that version of me would never be taken seriously.

And now, that version of me was dead.

Herein lies the problem with pantsuits: they mandate that in order to break into a male-dominated space, one must dress like a man.

I'm sure there are women who feel most like themselves in pantsuits, and it's wonderful that their preferred attire is able to transcend the otherwise impermeable glass ceiling. But what about me?

What about First Lady Hillary Clinton, who wore dresses and skirts in the 1990s? Whose style choices were endlessly scrutinized and put on " worst dressed" lists? Whose attempts at health care reform failed at the hands of men who told her she should go back to baking cookies?

Maybe her choice to switch to an all-pantsuit wardrobe when she ran for Senate in 2000 was just an arbitrary change of heart. But maybe she realized that in order to fulfill her ambitions of serving her country at a higher level than any other woman in history, she couldn't continue to refuse the advice of aides who encouraged her to change her appearance. Maybe she sacrificed her skirts and dresses at the altar of feminism, martyring her conventional womanhood so that the world would finally begin to understand what females were capable of.

If this sacrifice is a necessary step for women to enter the professional realm, it's bad news for women who are unable, unwilling, or unaware of the need to jettison their conventional femininity. This requirement places the blame for sexual harassment and professional discrimination upon women who wear skirts and heels instead of pantsuits. If you wanted your boss to take you seriously, why did you wear so much makeup? If you didn't want to be hit on, why did you wear that dress?

When my confidants asked me these questions, I began to ask them of myself. I chastised myself for not recognizing that shorts weren't a way to escape sticky summer heat - they were an invitation. Gone were the days where I could wear denim cutoffs to get ice cream at the shop next to the high school on hot August nights, hoping my brother's cute older friends were there. I should have realized that wanting to attract the attention of boys my brother's age meant I couldn't be mad if I got leered at by men my dad's age. I should have realized that nineteen was way too old to still dress like a teenaged girl.

Hillary Clinton's generation of feminists sought to prove that they could do anything men could do. They fought for an Equal Rights Amendment that emphasized their sameness to men. They entered a male-dominated Congress at unprecedented rates. They defied all rules and conventions when they wore pants on the Senate floor in 1993. The pantsuit, therefore, was an appropriate symbol for second-wave feminism: If men could wear pants, so could they.

My generation of feminists is shaping up to be different. While our sexual politics are as adolescent as we are - still growing and changing, too nascent to definitively characterize - it's clear that unlike our predecessors, we don't want to just do all the things men do. Instead, we want the freedom to choose to do anything we want without being objectified or invalidated. Whereas Senator Mikulski fought to wear a pantsuit on the senate floor, girls younger than me are fighting to wear miniskirts to school without being told they're distracting their male classmates.

It's great that Hillary Clinton has taught America to take women who dress like men seriously. Now someone just has to teach the nation to take women seriously no matter what they wear.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, patron saint of the pantsuit, appeared to me in the moment I needed her most: in the midst of a debilitating crisis of faith in feminism. It was summer 2014 and I'd flown across the country to intern for a women's empowerment nonprofit in Washington.

They are too young to vote, but old enough to follow the news. For teenage girls, this gender bomb of an election is happening just as they are starting to form their identities as young women.

Hillary Clinton has campaigned with a rah-rah message for girls: "Yes, you can be anything you want - even president." Donald J. Trump's message to girls has been more, well, complicated. What are girls taking away from the election? Are they inspired or repulsed? To get a sense, we took a national poll and went to two high schools, one in a liberal city and another in a conservative rural county, to talk to teenage girls.

Almost a quarter of girls ages 14 to 17 say that Mrs. Clinton's candidacy has made them more likely to seek positions of leadership, according to a national online Pollfish poll conducted for The New York Times.

But the more broadly heard message is negative: Nearly half of the girls say Mr. Trump's comments about women have affected the way they think about their bodies.

The data, analyzed by David Rothschild and Tobias Konitzer of PredictWise and based on a poll of 332 girls, shows a generation of girls raised to believe that women can do anything men can do yet aware that they have not yet. Forty-four percent would definitely or most likely vote for Mrs. Clinton if they were old enough to vote, and 15 percent for Mr. Trump.

The campaign as a whole has inspired almost equal parts ambition and wariness about running for office. Twenty-two percent said Mrs. Clinton's candidacy had made them more likely to want a leadership position in their careers, while 17 percent said it had made them less likely to want to be a leader. Fifteen percent said Mr. Trump's candidacy had made them more likely to want a leadership position; 27 percent said the opposite.

At Grant High School in Portland, Ore., girls tended to be reluctant Clinton supporters, having originally been fans of Senator Bernie Sanders. At Sherman County High School, in rural Moro, Ore., east of the Cascade Range where blue Oregon turns red, the girls were divided between the candidates.

"Although you're told from a young age that you can be a president even though you're a woman, you've never been shown you can do it, so this makes girls think they can," said Jaelyn Justesen, 14, a Clinton supporter in Moro.

Jaelyn, who wants to become a nurse, said Mrs. Clinton's candidacy had made her think it would be "really cool" to be in a leadership position. "Especially being a woman leader, it would teach younger girls, 'Hey, I can do this,' like Hillary is teaching younger girls, 'I can be president.' "

Others said Mr. Trump had inspired them to want to lead, if only to defy sexist comments made by the candidate and his supporters.

"It's made me want to prove them wrong and show them that women aren't what you're saying they are and they can be leaders and they can be strong," said Jessica Griepenburg, 15, who lives in Portland and wants to be a psychiatrist or a novelist.

None of the girls said they planned to run for office; each said it would be too stressful. They said they wanted to make a difference in more local ways: volunteering, speaking at community events and being a role model for girls in their careers.

In the national poll, almost all the girls had heard Mr. Trump's comments about women. Forty-two percent said he had affected the way they thought about their bodies, and the same share said the comments had not.

"That hits me hard when people like Trump say people who are skinnier than I am are too big," said Morgan Lesh, 15, in Moro. "It makes me feel extremely insecure about myself."

Morgan's friend Jordan Barrett, 14, agreed with her, even though they disagree on who should win the election.

"Especially for girls in high school, rating girls on a scale of 1 to 10 does not help because it really does get into your head that they think I'm ugly or I don't look good," Jordan said.

The girls pay close attention to women in power. Asked who had power, Grant High girls offered mostly celebrities, including Beyonc é, the Kardashian sisters, Miley Cyrus, Oprah, Michelle Obama, Malala Yousafzai, Emma Watson and J. K. Rowling. In Moro, they talked about their mothers and grandmothers, and a principal they had had when they were in first grade.

When asked whether gender makes a difference in winning an election or in governing, teenage girls were notably unconcerned.

Eighty-three percent said a candidate's gender made no difference in running for public office. Of those who disagreed, 7 percent said being a woman helped and 10 percent said being a man helped. Teenage girls had the most consensus on the question of whether gender makes a difference in being a good president: 89 percent said it did not.

Yet in interviews, they seemed to acknowledge that they do not live in an entirely postgender world, something they said Mr. Trump's candidacy had reinforced.

Daryn Hickok, 16, of Portland, used to tell people she wanted to be "the first girl president." More recently, in student government, she has encountered sexism.

"I'm a Black Student Union secretary, and sometimes when I say things, boys say, 'Why would I listen to you?' " she said. "Sometimes I'm disrespected because of my gender."

Watching Mrs. Clinton has made Sarah Hamilton, 17, of Portland, consider politics, or at least being "a boss." But if Mr. Trump wins, "I really would feel like the leadership in my country doesn't want me to succeed," she said. "And even though I know the things he says about women aren't true, I can't help but feel disrespected and just kind of bummed out by it."

In Moro, the girls debated how much Mr. Trump had fed the sexism in his campaign, with comments like "such a nasty woman."

"I don't think it was right for him to keep trash talking women," said Jordan, a Trump supporter. "But the ones toward her are about the choices she has made; he's not saying that all women are nasty."

Jaelyn, a Clinton supporter, disagreed. "Women reacted the way they did about it because when you're attacking one woman," she said, "you're attacking all women - because we see each other as sisters."
