DESPITE the mocking of Mr Trump in the media and the negative campaign run by the Democrats, the citizens of America elected Donald Trump as their next commander-in-chief commencing January 2017.

It is interesting that Mrs Clinton made the same mistake as the Remain camp in the EU referendum.

Calling Trump voters “rednecks” and racists was akin to the Remain camp calling our Leave voters Little Englanders.

The middle class pollsters were wrong again and the FT100 has hardly budged.

At least now the UK will not be at the back of the queue for trade deals with the USA.
