Trump declares his victory: Here is 47th president of United States
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has declared that he has become the 47th president of the United States following the election results.
"We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible, and it is now clear that we’ve achieved the most incredible political […] victory that our country has never seen before.
I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president, and your 45th president," Trump said during his speech.
He also said he was going to "help [the country] heal".
"I will fight for you, for your families, and your future every single day. I’ll be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we deliver the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This world truly [is needing] a golden age of America [...] This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again," Trump said.
He added that American voters have given him unprecedented powers as the Republican Party has regained control of the Senate and is likely to retain control of the House of Representatives.
Several different simulations of US presidential election results have predicted the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump.
