He was carried to victory by voters fed up with the political system and mistrustful of Clinton, a former first lady, senator and secretary of state.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, a 70-year-old celebrity businessman who had never before run for office, is poised to become the oldest president ever elected to a first term.<\/p>\n<p>After running a divisive campaign, Trump sounded a magnanimous note of reconciliation as he claimed victory shortly before 3 a.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country,\u201d Trump said, minutes after Clinton called him to concede. \u201cI mean that very sincerely. Now it\u2019s time for America to bind the wounds of division. We have to get together. To all Republicans, Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He had portrayed his opponent as the embodiment of a rigged system that had failed the everyday American. Her credentials through a quarter-century on the national stage, which in another electoral climate would have been an asset, pegged her in his supporters\u2019 view as the ultimate establishment insider.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/donald-tr.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6353\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6353\" src=\"http:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/donald-tr-300x200.png\" alt=\"donald-tr\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/donald-tr-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/donald-tr.png 566w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump said that under his administration, \u201cAmerica will no longer settle for anything less than the best.\u201d And he promised foreign countries that \u201cwhile we were always put America\u2019s interests first, we will deal fairly with everyone,\u201d adding: \u201cWe will seek common ground, not hostility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The real estate developer thanked his wife, Melania, and his children for their patience, saying: \u201cThis was tough. This was tough. This political stuff is nasty and it\u2019s tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Trump\u2019s ascension to the White House, the nationalist wave that has swept capitals around the world \u2014 including in Britain, which voted to break from the European Union this year \u2014 came crashing onto U.S. shores.<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of an impulsive authoritarian in the Oval Office rattled investors around the world. On Wall Street, all three major stock index futures sank more than 3 percent. Japan\u2019s Nikkei index plunged 5.4 percent; Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Index fell by more than 2 percent. The Mexican peso \u2014 which had fallen when the Republican nominee rose in the polls during his campaign \u2014 nose-dived to an eight-year low, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>Across Europe, major markets all pointed downward.<\/p>\n<p>The general election, which riveted the nation and produced a record television audience for a presidential debate, turned on the question of national identity. While Clinton assembled a diverse coalition that she said reflected the nation\u2019s future, it was no match for the powerful and impassioned movement built by fanning resentments over gender, race and religion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DONALD2.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6354\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6354\" src=\"http:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DONALD2-300x192.png\" alt=\"donald2\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DONALD2-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DONALD2.png 515w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s promise to \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d inspired millions of Americans alienated by the forces of globalization and multiculturalism and deeply frustrated with the inability of Washington to address their needs.<\/p>\n<p>Voters anxious about the economy, convinced that the system was stacked against them, fearful of terrorism and angry about the rising gap between rich and poor, gravitated toward Trump. In him, they saw a fearless champion who would re-create what they recalled as an America unchallenged in the world, unthreatened at home and unfettered by the elitist forces of \u201cpolitical correctness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs who want and expect our government to serve the people, and serve the people it will,\u201d Trump said in his victory speech.<\/p>\n<p>He vowed: \u201cEvery single American will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The presumption held by both campaigns, right up to the hours when polls began closing, was that Trump had a far narrower path to victory than Clinton. But he capitalized on nearly every opportunity across the electoral map.<\/p>\n<p>One by one on Tuesday night, electoral prizes that for hours had been too close to call deep into the night fell into Trump\u2019s win column. First, Florida and Ohio. Then North Carolina. And then Pennsylvania and, at 2:30 a.m., Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes after 2 a.m., Clinton\u2019s campaign chairman, John Podesta, told stunned supporters who had gathered in anticipation of celebrating her victory to go home because there would be no further statement as outstanding votes were counted. \u201cWe can wait a little longer, can\u2019t we?\u201d Podesta said.<\/p>\n<p>Click to expand<\/p>\n<p>Clinton claimed Colorado and Virginia as she thought she would, but she underperformed expectations in the traditionally Democratic-leaning Rust Belt states where Trump campaigned aggressively in the final weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton had so taken for granted a region thought of as her \u201cblue wall\u201d that she did not hold a single event in Wisconsin during the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Control of Congress was on the line as well, with Republicans poised to maintain their majority in the House and a string of hotly competitive Senate contests going their way as well.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s feuds with Republican leaders created deep fissures in his party, and his victory has set the GOP on a new path. Whether he can achieve any of his grandiose ideas could hinge on his relationship with House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), who had all but abandoned Trump in the campaign\u2019s final weeks. In an early sign of detente, Ryan\u2019s office let it be known that the speaker had placed a congratulatory call to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>President Obama campaigned vigorously for his former secretary of state \u2014 going so far as to label her opponent temperamentally unfit to be commander in chief \u2014 but his resurgent popularity did not rub off on his legatee.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had pledged to dismantle Obama\u2019s achievements, starting with his signature law, the Affordable Care Act that became known as Obamacare. He also will be in position to fill the current vacancy on the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>A Trump presidency is certain to produce significant geopolitical repercussions. He has promised to transform U.S. foreign policy and take it in a more unilateralist direction.<\/p>\n<p>He also has promised to build a wall on the border with Mexico and deport immigrants who are in this country illegally. Trump said he would \u201cbomb the s&#8212;\u201d out of the Islamic State and says he has a secret plan to annihilate the terrorist organization. He has also expressed admiration for strongmen such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom he has promised to forge a closer relationship based on mutual respect.<\/p>\n<p>Never one to let go of a grudge, Trump has vowed to send Clinton to prison. At his victory party early Wednesday, his supporters chanted, \u201cLock her up!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump, a flashy real estate developer who extended his brand with reality television, would be the first person to become president without having previously held elected office or served in the U.S. military. Trump\u2019s vice president will be Michael Pence, 57, the governor of Indiana and previously a longtime member of the House.<\/p>\n<p>Until polls closed on Tuesday, confidence in the Clinton campaign had been high that she would topple a barrier that has stood for nearly a century after women in the United States got the right to vote and be elected president. For her election-night party, she chose a utilitarian convention center in midtown Manhattan notable for one architectural feature: a glass ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>But Clinton\u2019s historic quest hit head winds early in the evening as key states she had expected to carry easily, such as Virginia, remained in doubt. Though she prevailed there, the contest proved significantly closer than the pre-election polls would have indicated.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the Javits Center, the jovial atmosphere quickly grew dark as the night wore on. Senior Clinton aides, who had been circulating among the press risers, had long since disappeared and stopped answering their phones. The only Clinton staff in evidence as the 11 o\u2019clock hour approached were fairly junior aides, looking nervous and uncertain. By midnight, supporters were streaming out the exits. Many of those who remained were in tears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m actually speechless right now,\u201d said a dejected Julia Beatty, 38, who left the Javits Center with her Clinton sticker peeling off her leather jacket. \u201cI just want to make it safely uptown so I can sob into a glass of wine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clinton faced the additional burden of running for what would be the third consecutive term for one party in the White House \u2014 something that has happened only once since the middle of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>After nearly a quarter-century in the nation\u2019s consciousness, Clinton had become a walking paradox, a Rorschach test of what defines character and values. Trump nicknamed her \u201cCrooked Hillary.\u201d And for more than a year, she was hobbled by her use of a personal email server as secretary of state, which flouted protocol and became the subject of an FBI investigation.<\/p>\n<p>FBI Director James B. Comey roiled the campaign 11 days before the election by announcing that a fresh trove of emails had been discovered on the computer of Clinton aide Huma Abedin\u2019s estranged husband, former New York congressman Anthony Weiner. On Sunday, Comey said the investigation found no cause for the FBI to reverse its earlier decision against an indictment. Still, the developments took Clinton off her stride in the home stretch and contributed to a tightening of the polls.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton got an early warning of trouble ahead, even before the general election. To win the Democratic nomination that had once been presumed to be a coronation, she had to fend off an unexpectedly potent primary challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), a self-identified democratic socialist who sparred with her until the final primaries in June.<\/p>\n<p>Trump proved resilient against an onslaught of negative advertising from Clinton\u2019s campaign and her allied super PAC, Priorities USA, which portrayed him as racist, misogynist and unhinged. Nearly a quarter-billion dollars was spent on ads supporting Clinton, while just $153 million went into spots backing Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post Karen Tumulty, Philip Rucker, Anne Gearan29 mins ago \u00a0 GOP keeps Senate control as Democrats fall short &nbsp; Donald Trump was elected the nation\u2019s 45th president in the stunning culmination of a campaign that defied expectations and conventions at every turn and galvanized legions of aggrieved Americans in a loud repudiation of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6351,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politike"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6350"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6355,"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6350\/revisions\/6355"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistakuvendi.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
