America’s D-Day: It’s Over. All Hail President Trump... Bigly

It’s D-Day, voting has begun. Americans are going to the polls and no matter who wins, sh*t is going to hit the fan.

After a huge upset, Donald Trump has now become the 45th President of the United States. In a conciliatory acceptance speech, he talked about the need for national unity in a marked departure from his campaign rhetoric.

Heartiest of congratulations, President Trump. And to the rest of America... may the odds be ever in your favour.

It’s All Over, Folks

Trump just clinched the battleground state of Pennsylvania, and is leading in other states with only 6 electoral colleges needed to reach 270. Meaning that short of a miracle, he is the president-elect.

But there is something to laugh about. According to Twitter, Harambe the ill-fated gorilla attracted 5% of the vote... polling higher than Greens candidate Jill Stein.

Support for President: Gary Johnson 6%, Harambe 5%, Jill Stein 2%

It was nice knowing you, America. Over and out.

Americans Think the End Is Nigh: #AmericaIsOverParty

It looks like half the American people have thrown in the towel, making #AmericaIsOverParty trend as Trump inches closer and closer to the Presidency.

As Trump Wins Key Swing States, Clinton Supporters Look to Canada?

As Trump blazes through crucial swing states like North Carolina and Florida the unimaginable is happening... Canada’s immigration website has crashed.

We can only assume that this has at least something to do with Clinton supporters desperately trying to escape an increasingly likely Trump victory.

And the despair is spreading. Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh Koothrappali from The Big Bang Theory) just tweeted:

Never in 15 years of living In this country have I ever felt afraid to look like I do. #immigrant

A little light on the horizon for Clinton supporters, she has won Washington state. Perhaps it’s not all over yet? Maybe?

It’s a tight race, with the tally now standing at 232 to 209 according to CNN, and Trump keeping an ever-increasing lead. Nothing to do but wait.

The Electoral Map As it Looks Now

In The Quint’s newsroom, we’ve drawn up a neat map of the red and blue states as they stand right now. There’s a worrying amount of red, enough for some to have labeled this election, “Brexit gone nuclear”. Have a look:

Trump Takes the Lead

Trump has just won the following states:

Missourie, Montana, Louisiana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, both the Dakotas, and a big one, Texas.

In the meantime, Hillary has picked up her own big one, New York – Trump’s hometown, and the state she served as Senator – Connecticut, and New Mexico.

CNN now has Trump leading Clinton 167 to 122.
