NEW YORK – Donald Trump has defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election for President of the United States.
Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump on the phone to concede the election. Trump declared victory and said “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans. Ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement, made up of millions of hardworking men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for their family.”
As of early Wednesday, Trump had 289 electoral votes, well above the 270 needed for victory. Clinton had 218 with a few states left to turn in final results. Trump scored crucial wins in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. He might still get Michigan. He did win Iowa, as well.
Trump will meet with President Barack Obama Thursday to begin working on the transition of government.
It appears at this time that the Republican Party will control both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

You’ll see the opposite of what you think will happen. Police will settle down and stop killing black people. The alt-right will bask in the glow of victory and reassertion that white America is firmly in control. This country has a long tradition of white, conservative domination, and you’ll see that one last time with Trump’s Presidency before it’s finally merged with multiracialism. This was there last hurrah. Clinton will go down in history vilified for her arrogant stupidity and vanity, as she set back America for her selfish ambitions.
STFU and stop embarassing your poor mother. No one cares what you think.
You are a bully. STFU and go away.
STFU and stop embarassing your poor mother.
Well first Trump has to explain to all his followers he didn’t really mean he was going to build a wall…..it was just a metaphor.
Second he’s going to have to explain to all his followers what a metaphor is.
Expect metaphor to be the top googled item for most of his administration.
Poor losers whining already.
Clueless Trump supporter ignorant of the facts that Trump is flip flopping quicker than your mother can unbutton her overalls.
Every body knows how fast your mother can unbutton her overalls.
Clever comebacks are not in your repertoire, eh dumbass.
Can’t you at least make some feeble attempt to be creative instead of just repeating something?
Then again, probably not, as your parents were either brother & sister or first cousins.
The wall just got downsized to a fence.
Hillary isn’t going to jail.
Much of Obamacare will be retained.
I like gays, blacks and muslims.
And you just got screwed!
Drain the swamp, my ass.
The Swamp – 1, Trump Believers – 0.
Trump supporters, you got conned.
Trump said he wanted to drain the swamp, then he makes McConnell and Paul Ryan’s task master Reince Priebus chief of staff.
Does it bother you that ‘The Wall’ is now a fence, Obamacare is now going to be modified, not repealed?
The Swamp is draining straight into Trump’s cabinet and he’s now back-peddling on deportations.
So far Trump has not kept a single pre-election promise.
See a pattern folks?
It doesn’t bother me at all. It just shows he is willing to be flexible and go after what he can get. As far as his cabinet, they are excellent picks that can accomplish things in Washington. What did you think he was going to do? Put in people that would still be looking for the bathroom after his first term. That is why you Democrats lost. you are stupid.
You just keep drinking that Trump kool-aid there little buckaroo.
So when Democrats change their tune they are liars, but when Trump does it he’s “flexible”, eh?
You just keep being that gullible & ignorant there snowflake and living in the Breitbart world.
Speaking of Breitbart ,I see that Trump anointed Steve Bannon as his “Chief Strategist & Senior Counselor”.
So now we will have an extreme white supremacist, bigot, homophobe and outright racist in the White House inner-circle.
Trump’s elevation of Bannon further legitimizes the racist ideas that are regularly promoted on Breitbart.
You think the country was divided before there little buckaroo , with Trump & his cronies in power you haven’t seen anything yet.
Wha, Wha, Wha. Listen to the left wing loonies crying already and he hasn’t even taken office yet. What a bunch of crybaby whiners.
Maybe you better watch 60 Minutes tonight to see the full extent of his b.s.
He doesn’t take office for over two months, and look how much is being stirred up and speculated. He is probably just playing games with the dumb ass, bias, liberal media. And they are all playing along, hook line and sinker.
No speculation, those are facts.
You’re just making excuses already….get used to it.
Make America Straight Again. Toss the Homos across the wall with the Beaners.
The cream has risen to the top. Look at all the cry-babies across this country. Rioting and whatnot, disrespecting, committing crimes in the name of protest. it is not protest, it is criminal activity. We have allowed ourselves to turn into this yuppie, p/c country where we just tolerate bullsh*t neysayers such as this. Hopefully this is a turning point in America, where we can now get headed down the right path.
imagine what would be happening if he hadn’t won? The rednecks would be burning down everything they could, Shooting people, crying rigged election, blah blah blah.
Have republicans rioted or burned anything down yet? That seams to be a Liberal hobby. Republicans are to busy working and picking up the slack to waste their time on such a redundant pastime.
Yes, you bet. Just look at Philadelphia, Maple Grove Mn., Detroit, etc. All that love coming from the trump supporters. You are a fool.
No no, you are sadly mistaken! Everyone of those was a Democratic welfare recipient. Worried that there handout will soon fall short. Liberals are such a bunch of sore losers.
Middle school children chanting build the wall are democrats. You are truly uninformed. https://www.yahoo.com/news/acts-of-intimidation-violence-and-vandalism-reported-after-trump-win-221612138.html
What’s the matter Abe? Can’t you respond to the truth?
Middle school children are hardly members of either side of politics. Rather products of their teachers( who I’m sure are sick of Obamas common core) or parents( who are sick of seeing tax money wasted)
Actually Abe, those children are products of their parents (who I am sure are Trump supporting racists).
Oh and while you are at Abe, you may want to do a little research on where Common Core came from.
I appreciate Michael Moore’s revolution which is brewing. James Comey belongs in jail. Just like Bush 2’s assist from within the government, Trump got elected under false pretenses. Very dirty.
You were his biggest supporter. What do we do now oh brilliant leader of the retarded.
Agree completely.
And come morning when the old fool logs on, these comments will probably be deleted as well.
And actually that is sad in a way, because the old man is pathetic and everyone knows him as an ass and an idiot.
But the really sad part is that when he passes in the not to distant future, no one will mourn his loss and many will read his obituary with a smile.
Grassley and King were re-elected because of the quality of candidates running against them If you want to win against established people you must have quality candidates and the Democrats just didn’t have them this time. Also, a lot of people just voted straight ticket for Trump because of their dislike of what Clinton stands for. She represented everything crooked about Washington politics.
I wonder how all of you Trump supporters are going to feel when he doesn’t turn out to be as much of a red neck as you want him to be. You screamed about change so much and so loudly before the election came and you voted for him. I get that. What I don’t get is why you re-elected Grassley, King, and a number of other long time Congressional members. Do you think one man is going to change them? They will continue doing what they have always done-stuffing their own pockets-until the next election.
to a lot of voters, it was more a case of “anybody but her!”
I’m sure some of the Trump supporters will feel the same as some of the Obama supporters did/do. Has there ever been a candidate that produced exactly EVERYTHING they said they would? No. Will there ever be a candidate that does? I doubt it.
Grassley and King got re-elected because more people wanted them in office than the other party wanted their own candidates. Its that simple. . The “absentee ballot” is now considered by some as “early voting” and people can do that nearly 2 full weeks in advance of the election and yet they still don’t vote. People have to get off the couch and vote. What a shame that seems like too much for some to do.
What would you say if he turned out to be every thing our country needed? Are you still going to bash him when he gets every thing done?
I am not bashing him. I think there are things he will do that he said he would do. But I also believe Mr. Trump. like all our other politicians, will not deliver on all his promises. Many of the current representatives we have now from the Republican party have said previously they don’t agree with him on certain issues. Do you think they are going to change just because he was elected President? Many of them expect their own careers in politics to last longer than 4 years. And 4 years from now, we will have another election. And someone new may be in the White House. If Mr. Trump gets another 4 years, then it is guaranteed there will be a new person in Washington leading our country after his presidency is done. And we will have the same men and women sitting in the Senate and House. That is sad.
Donald Trumps Tower and other buildings remind me of Saddam Usames palaces.
that is Hussein in case anyone noticed.
People assume what they must to alleviate cognitive dissonance. But that doesn’t mean Trump will follow any of what people project on him. Are the checks and balances in place? Sure about that? I was almost ready to believe this was about disruptive change of Washington, until so many incumbents were reelected. Now I see the election of Donald Trump for what it is. A rebuttal by the Bernie supporters to punish the DNC and a rebuttal by racist white people to scrub the legacy of Barack Obama as our first African American President. This whole situation is deplorable.
Sobering isn’t it? Cataclysmic event realigns the central nervous system. Confusion and fear results in new neuronal pathways opening up. This is a zen thing. I Voted for the winning candidate because powerful media forces were at work suggesting I do so. The media explores the boundaries of thoughts and perceptions collectively experienced, both pleasant and unpleasant, sane and insane, reasonable and unreasonable. It is an echo chamber of our own minds. Trump is the manifestation of the American experience up until this point. 100 million people will be cleansed of their polarizing thoughts. The Skeksis and Uru will unite.
It is ironic that Hillary Clinton is still leading in the popular (spell that actual votes) vote count.
Especially so since four years ago this was a statement made by someone:
“The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.” – Donald Trump
Looks like Donald predicted the future.
Just think of the landslide President Trump would have accomplished if we were only counting the votes of ALIVE and LEGAL residents.
Just think of the landslide Hillary would have had if we didnt count the dumbass and stupid votes
“Dumbass and stupid” perfectly describes anybody that supports a Clinton or believes mainstream media. “Dumbass and stupid” was her exact demographic target.
Not quite there Abe, you little cream-puff, it was Trump that targeted the ignorant, idiotic and inbred vote.
And you should understand that since you fit at least two of those three categories.
The thing is here is that Hillary lied to every body but only those that were weak mentally believed her lies. Then she blamed it all on Trump but only the idiots believed her. Say what you will but you are the definition of an idiot.
“Glory Be To God”
It’s called devine intervention. By the way, what happened to all that love trumps hate talk.
So, funny when ‘we the people’ find out that Trump is the compassionate, caring, inclusive person.
We now have learned that Aesop hates Catholics and Christians. Damm depolorables anyway. Aesop is now Hillary Clintons new moniker.
Would you care to explain what you posted? Did you just get hit in the head?
Aw, you are so damn cute. Stupid and a dumb ass but cute. Just a big mouth p.o.s. troll.
LVS- you really need to come up with some new comments, your comments are getting a very stale. You say the same thing every day.
Don’t like it, don’t read it. And your opinion doesn’t mean shit to me.
LVS-The crazy thing is my opinion must mean something to you or you would not bother to response to my comment….got ya!! HaHa
Did you just get hit in the head?..Wow. that’s a great post. I am still laughing. Thank you.
OBAMA LEGACY
***Unafordable Care Act, AKA Obamacare
***Created ISIS
***Created the worst racial divide in America in decades
***Doubled America’s national debt
***Created the illegal immigration crisis
***Allowed Aesop/Hillary Clinton’s Pay-For-Play operation
AND THE LIST GOES ON
OBAMA LEGACY SUMMED UP, 8 YEARS OF CORRUPUTION AND POLITICAL TURMOIL!
TRUMP ELECTION? “GLORY BE TO GOD”
God had nothing to do with Mr. Trump being elected. If the Democrats would have nominated anyone other than Mrs. Clinton, they would be in the White House come January 20th. The majority of the voters who supported Mr. Trump were voting against Mrs. Clinton or they wanted the change that most of our population was asking for before the primaries. What astounds me about the American voter (Iowa is especially relevant) is that we scream about we need change, but still elect the same people to the Senate and House of Representatives. We say we need term limits but vote in people who are adamantly against them.
President Obama got elected on change.All he did was put Washington insiders in his cabinet. Trump is going to do the same.Pence will run the country just like Cheney did under Bush.
Don’t forget about the “dumbing down” with his common core education. Or his ape faced wife’s transition to making public school food disgusting. Obama put dudes in the womens restroom.
If your kid does not like the school’s food,pack their own lunch. Oh, I forgot most get to eat free.
Yes, democrat usually do eat free. As children, and as adults. Next time you use your ebt food stamp card, be sure to thank a hard working taxpayer for your handout.
You are an ASS
Not all democrats are poor.
No, not necessarily poor. But democrats do leech off others hard work. And expect a handout or payment when it is undeserving.
If I made stupid statements like that, I would have my name anonymous also. Find a country where all the people are white like you and move there….please. We don’t need you here.
You do have your name “anonymous” which makes you a ass. You and your kind are what is not needed here. You welfare queens make us sick. Sucking down taxpayer money to keep your smelly ass in cigarettes, drugs and booze. Get a job and get a life you damn loser.
What is this “we” shit dumbass?
You and the other couple of the intellectually challenged morons like LVS, Lloyd and Honest Abe?
You guys are derelicts without a clue.
I don’t drink or smoke and I can guarantee that I make more money than you sorry pathetic ass ever dreamed of.
I am one of those people who agree with anonymous. And I have never taken welfare, worked 50+ years, don’t smoke or drink, and believe haters like you are the problem with this country. But, don’t move. You have a right to be here too. Just learn to be a decent person and follow the ideals of this country.
I’ll bet you don’t.
Trump will not need to build a wall to keep people out. He will need to build a wall to keep people from leaving.
We all just hope that it is people like you and you who will be leaving. It will save us the job of getting rid of you. You lost. get used to it or STFU.
I will not be leaving. I am white ,anglo-saxon,christian,heterosexual and not pregnant.
I don’t know why people keep taking it to a race issue. As long as you don’t cram your foolish ideas down unwilling participants throats like a liberal does or pull your own weight, America is a great fit. It’s when you want a free ride like the democrats and expect everyone else to value you foolish(or freakish) opinion the conflict arises.
You are a white dumb ass who is an embarrassment to your people. Leaches like you are not welcome here so you had better start running. Consider this a warning.
Did you mean leeches?By the way I was telling it like it is.
Leave, please leave. You are part of the problem! Trump is all ready making America better, shooing off all the liberal losers!!!
You will be the reason for leaving.
Thank you!
One way to keep people out, make things so bad that no one will want to come here.That is what happened during the Great Depression.
So bad?? This country currently takes care of illegals better than our own blood shedding Veterans! It is truelly disgusting! Liberals are ignorant when it comes to this.
Things are not that bad yet.
The last time the country was so divided was when Abe Lincoln was elected.We all know what happened then.
Gotcha, I’ll try and get an email to Trump and tell him not to attend any plays.
Well jeez talk about haters…. democratic voices are vicious. Where is the peace love dove bullshit you strive for? Where’s that now? HC lied lied and said what difference does it make about the benghazi boys. Why is that ok and worth the presidency? We all get trump is no Apple pie but maybe being not tainted in Washington yet he can do something. Lighten up and give trump a chance like you do illegals, and flowers in your hair.
Now clinton is paying her thugs and followers to get out of bed and go protest again. She’s been there an done it before. They don’t like the thought of having to work , I hope she paying them a living wage .
Before Donald Trump raises his right hand to take the oath of office in January, he’s set for a less-auspicious swearing-in: taking the witness stand in his own defense in a federal court civil trial over fraud in his Trump University scam real estate seminar program.
Well, there is a first for a President- Elect.
Much better than being investigated by the F.B.I, and slated for prison in her first year.
Besides, he can always pardon himself, or maybe cut a deal on a airport runway.
The movie “Idiocracy” is coming true.
In 2005, Mike Judge’s comedy Idiocracy depicted a future America ruled by trash culture and a blowhard celebrity president.
Sound familiar?
4-8 more years of liberal rule, and we would have been re-living Schindlers List! Hitler didn’t just overnight say he was going to start killing Jews by the millions. First was socialism,then gun control and gov. healthcare,then gov. dependency. After all that, people didn’t seam to notice or care. Pretty close to Obama/Clinton agenda.
Hitler was a Fascist.If he would have listened to his generals there would have been a good chance Germany would have won the war.
Guaranteed that within two years, Trump either quits or gets impeached.
Obama is a class act. Best President ever.
That is your OPINION of course. Others strongly disagree.
You were born stupid and have gotten worse with age. Osama is by far the worse president we have ever had. He has done more to divide this nation than anyone in history. He will be remembered for his failures because he has no successes. Even Obamacare will become just a bad memory very shortly.
Obama has good speech writers. Other than that, possibly the worst president in modern history.
-Made healthcare more expensive
-made public education less effective
-tripled the nations debt
-elevated unemployment to a high rivaling the great depression
-sent civil rights back 60 years
-put men in the ladies room
-houses terrorist right here in our back yard
I’m sure I’m forgetting something
Do you remember where the stock market was. How about the great recession.
Very easy to discern that “Honest Abe” is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
Obamalama is leaving a far bigger mess to clean up than George Dubya did. And I never questioned if GWB loved this great country of ours, or whos side he was on. Barak and his foul mouthed wife leave us wondering who they are working for?
Take away Obama’s telepromter and he can’t even talk.
So Honest Abe, I see that you are a graduate of the LVS seminar series on: You to can be a Supreme Dumb-ass.
So Dubya loved this great country of ours, eh?
Tell that to the thousands of young Americans that died in that lie of a War in Iraq.
And the great recession was all under Dubya’s watch there, little buckaroo.
Michelle Obama has more intelligence, class and compassion in her little finger than you have in all of that empty head of yours.
It amazes me sometimes that ignorant and idiotic fools like you and LVS seem to migrate to this site.
It is like you ass-clowns seem to use this place as a gathering place for stupidity.
I find humor in the fact that most of you informationally malnourished liberals will believe anything that is presented to you by the extremely biased media. Anyone with the ability to fact check or cross reference can see right through the veil of ignorance the media tries to drape over our heads. Good luck in life my friend.
I remember the recession was caused by banking laws put in by Clinton.
Is odummy still printing 50 billion a month for his butt buddy’s in the stock market ?
Clinton did have something to do with the ressession of 08 but it was the bill of Frank and Dodd that caused the whole mess, they were both democrats right? I remember Bush jr saying once that that bill would cause the economy to collapse but they just laughed at him. Once it did happen the liberal ragheads all blamed it on Bush. Pass the buck is all they know because they don’t know anything else.
You’re either a talented troll or a complete idiot. The Dodd-Frank Act was passed in 2010 as a response to the Great Recession, as in AFTER the economy collapsed. A five-second Google search could have taught you that.
STFU Peter and stop embarassing your poor mother.
STFU LVS. Stop embarrassing your poor wife.
Not much to say. I will support our new president as he represents us all. I hope he does represent us all.
He will certainly support us more than Obama with his World Order did.
This was fun to watch !
Time to make America Great Again. Start by jailing all criminal liberals.
LVS….Trump won…be proud of your identity.
Sorry Peter, but it is time to shut down the womens restrooms for your types. Its the right thing to do.
Make America Great Again !
In the eyes of a white man.
GO T!!
