Trump's New Job, 45th President!

NEW YORK - On Tuesday 8, 2016 midnight, Trump was elected as the president with most electoral votes. Both won, but who really is the next US president?

The President-elect arrived back at his opulent Trump Tower home with wife Melania – after winning a race to the White House he was widely tipped to lose. Election winner Donald Trump arrived back at his apartment block after addressing his supporters a Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.

Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in a bitter race to the White House, with 278 electoral votes while Clinton won 228 Electoral votes. Not only did Trump win something, Clinton also won the popular vote.

Clinton: 47.98 Million-228

Trump: 47.31 Million - 278

Trump waved at reporters after an election victory that has sent shockwaves across the world 

The 45th US President-elect watched the results come in from Trump Tower before addressing his supporters from a nearby Hilton Hotel. The real estate billionaire sent shockwaves across the world after delivering his own "Brexit for America" in a historic victory over Hillary Clinton.

In his first address as President-elect after a bitter campaign, Trump struck a unifying tone in front of crowds cheering "USA, USA".

He said it was "time for America to bind the wounds of division".

In an impassioned speech that continued his theme of reaching out to disillusioned Americans, Trump told a packed-out crowd in Manhattan: "The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer". He added: "I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important for me".

President-elect Donald Trump appeared on stage with running mate Mike Pence, left of the podium, and his family after his shock win. "This movement is really only just beginning": Trump made an emotionally-charged speech after his election success. 

Trump promised a 'project of renewal' for America, saying everyone would be able to live up to their potential.

With Trump as President, what will happen to the U.S.?

On the campaign trail, Trump admitted the economy wasn't something he looked forward to tackling. In a January interview with "Good Morning America," he offered up a bleak assessment and added that, in terms of fixing it, it's a task he'd rather skip.

In an April interview with the Washington Post, Trump reiterated his doomsday view of the economy, suggesting we might be headed for recession. But this time around, he appeared more open to the idea of his being in charge of finding remedies. "I can fix it. I can fix it pretty quickly," he said. And more recently, he maligned the Federal Reserve for creating what he says is a "false economy."
