Donald Trump Elected US President
On November 8, 2016, Republican businessman Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential election, winning 304 electoral votes to 227 despite losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. Trump's victory, seen as a political earthquake, reflected deep anger at establishment politics, economic anxiety, and cultural backlash. His presidency featured trade wars, the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and Iran nuclear deal, tax cuts, Supreme Court appointments, and ended with an attempt to overturn the 2020 election result.
