The Daily Mail said a "revolt" by America's "forgotten white

It added that the "seismic victory" would have "repercussions around the world".
The Guardian...remarked that, at 70, the tycoon will be the oldest person ever to become US president, following a "farcical" campaign that began with a ride down an escalator at Trump Tower last year in the days when he was "dismissed as a clown who posed no threat".

Comment: My favorite is the Mirror's Statue of Liberty covering her face and asking, "What have they done?" I interpret "they" to mean American voters. We appreciate the mention.
