At deadline, the presidential race hadn't been definitively called for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, but it was clear that Trump had once again turned conventional wisdom on its head and smashed it. Heading into Election Day, Clinton had seemed poised to finally break what she kept calling that "highest, hardest glass ceiling." By the wee hours of Wednesday morning, it had become even more likely that Trump was about to make history instead.
World leaders are reacting to the triumph of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the US presidential election.
As news of the result was confirmed, they began to send congratulations - some fulsome, some more tentative - to the business mogul.
And so, the so-called “unthinkable” has happened. Donald Trump, the racist, sexist, xenophobic candidate of the Republican alt-right, has been elected President of the United States.
