But for all intents and purposes, Trump has already won.
Trump returns to the White House as the oldest president in US history at 78, to the jubilation of his supporters.
Perhaps one of the most striking aspects of this unique election is the persistence of Trump's campaign, despite the former president facing numerous legal obstacles while campaigning for the White House.
But Trump came through it with force and is now taking his victory lap.
But now the question remains, what's next?
According to Trump's own statements, he is likely to place severe tariffs on China and Europe, as well as removing environmental protections on Nature Reserves throughout the United States. In addition to that it's likely that he will begin his long threatened mass deportation of undocumented immigrants in the United States

Trump's victory is a clarion call to the global right, the after effects of it both domestically for the US and internationally for the world will cause economic and political shifts around the world.
