Donald Trump was elected USA's 45th President after his stunning victory in groundbreaking 2016 presidential election. In one of the most shocking upsets in US elections in modern political history, Donald Trump has defeated Hillary Clinton after a long bitter divisive campaign. It is no less than a political tsunami whose reverberations are being felt across the world. He was able to channelise Brexit style forces, the anti establishment angst to defeat the ultimate insider Hillary Clinton.
Donald Trump who was written off by most pollsters, mocked at his critics and comics everywhere has had the last laugh. He proved everybody wrong. It seems he knew the pulse of the general public better than most. He used the digital media effectively and the White working class supporters identified with him and rallied behind him in full force. They were willing to overlook his sexist talk, suspect temperament and lack of qualifications as they liked his message: to bring jobs, security, building wall across the border, repealing Obamacare, deport illegal immigrants and making America great again.

Lets hope he is able to heal divisions within US and beyond like he pledged after his stunning victory. The world needs a tall responsible US leadership to carry on the fight against global terrorism and climate climate for our better tomorrow.
