As you'll no doubt be aware by now, Donald Trump will replace Barack Obama as the next President of the United States of America. It was an outcome that became increasingly apparent as the day/night wore on.
Securing the key battleground states of Ohio, North Carolina and Florida made the result something of a formality when Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta took the stage at her 'celebration' event.

It brought to mind Saddam Hussein's (Mis-)Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf - also known as 'Comical Ali' - in its sheer delusion and embarrassing transparency.
