A jubilant Donald Trump gave his signature thumbs up as he returned home to Trump Tower this morning as the president-elect of the United States of America.
Alongside his wife and First Lady to be Melania, the businessman and reality TV mogul was met by a crowd of well-wishers, many wearing his signature Make America Great Again baseball caps.
Meanwhile, Hillary supporters at home and abroad woke up shocked and dismayed at the decisive result which confounded the expectations of analysts, pollsters and election experts. Wall Street also had a shaky start Wednesday morning.
Dow Futures initially plummeted by 800 points overnight but the DOW index was up by 0.23 per cent minutes after the bell ringing at 9.30am. It slipped moments later and remained down by 30 points for the next half hour before steadying at around 10am to be up some 50 points.
Earlier in the evening, Trump marked his world-shaking victory over Hillary Clinton with a dramatic peace-making gesture for the rival he had called ‘crooked’ before promising that America would ‘come together as never before’.
After he sensationally won the White House race, Clinton phoned him at 2:30 a.m. to concede she had lost and in the first words of his victory speech he said: ‘We owe her a debt of gratitude and I mean that very sincerely’.
She made the private call shortly after sending her campaign chairman to give her supporters exactly the opposite message, that it was not over – a humiliating and bizarre end to a political career which had put her on the verge of being the first female president.
