 The Republican has sensationally won the White House - taking Pennsylvania to secure 274 electoral college votes in a humiliating defeat for Hillary Clinton. But as the 70-year-old's supporters prepared to celebrate the victory, shocked Twitter users took the opportunity to poke fun at the situation. One showed a picture of the one-time Democrat hopeful Bernie Saunders along with the words 'Where are you now that I need you' - lyrics from a Justin Bieber hit. Another, showing an Air Canada jet taking off alongside two passports came along with the caption: 'Election night starter kit'.

His triumph over Hillary Clinton will end eight years of Democratic dominance of the White House and threatens to undo major achievements of President Barack Obama.
He's pledged to act quickly to repeal Obama's landmark health care law, revoke the nuclear agreement with Iran and rewrite important trade deals with other countries, particularly Mexico and Canada. 
The Republican blasted through Democrats' longstanding firewall, carrying Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, states that hadn't voted for a GOP presidential candidate since the 1980s. 
He needed to win nearly all of the competitive battleground states, and he did just that, claiming Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and others.

Global stock markets and U.S. stock futures plunged deeply, reflecting investor alarm over what a Trump presidency might mean for the economy and trade. 
Trump will take office with Congress expected to be fully under Republican control. 
GOP Senate candidates fended off Democratic challengers in key states and appeared poised to maintain the majority. Republicans also maintained their grip on the House.
Senate control means Trump will have great leeway in appointing Supreme Court justices, which could mean a major change to the right that would last for decades.
Trump upended years of political convention on his way to the White House, leveling harshly personal insults on his rivals, deeming Mexican immigrants rapists and murderers, and vowing to temporarily suspend Muslim immigration to the US.
