Businessman Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States, and will take office on January 20th, 2017.

Trump defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the general election. It's significant to note that Clinton defeated Trump in the popular vote count.

Trump's campaign received extensive media coverage, notably criticized for racist and xenophobic undertones.

Apologies for bumping, but we won't be having to deal with this orange dude for much longer. Tldr: Trump did not get reelected
