'Jail Her' was a popular chant at Trump rallies: here again the new president may find he has bigger fish to fry than Hillary, which happens to be true

His fame, ego and mischievous delight in defying the status quo ensured he would be judged by the lax standards of Hollywood, rather than the unforgiving rules that govern politicians

Technically, he’s a Republican. But in spirit Trump is an independent protest candidate, smart enough to realise the only way he could win was under the aegis of one of America’s two major parties

Trump himself suggested his victory would be 'Brexit times ten'. Make no mistake, this theme has a deep resonance for many American voters: the narrative of the little guy getting his own back will have inspired so many people 

Taxes will be cut, and that will give a boost to the economy. There will be more spending on infrastructure, and that will boost the economy too. The issue will be one of scale

Those around at the time may also recall the shock felt when Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980. He too defeated the political establishment, the consensus politics that had governed America since the Second World War

A campaign that has exposed many flaws presents only one competent candidate

In the US there is a huge need for tax and regulatory reform. The personal tax system is full of loopholes, so that the very rich can end up paying lower rates than middle-earners. Donald Trump has used these devices himself

His remark almost seemed to dismiss a highly-anticipated family business venture and which he had talked so much about during the campaign trail

As we drove around the parking area we were approached by a number of merchandise sellers. ‘Hillary for Jail’ t-shirts seemed to be doing well and I only saw one stall incendiary enough to be selling the internet famous 'Trump that B*tch' shirt

The Republican was seen as the loser after last night's clash with Hilary Clinton by almost everyone except himself and the odds reflect that

'I say it's rigged,' says Mr Trump

 'It tells you that he's insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down. Not a character trait that I would advise for somebody in the Oval Office,' says Mr Obama

Melanie Austin has come to blame President Obama for what she considers the decline of her community, the United States and the world
