New Orleans, LA
Dozens of protesters gathered in Lee Circle to protest the election, setting fire to an effigy of Trump and vandalizing the monument - dedicated to Confederate general Robert E Lee - with spray-painted slogans.
Among the slogans on the pillar and its base were 'Black Power,' 'Dismantle White Supremacy' and 'F**k Trump,' NOLA.com reported.
The protesters chanted 'No Trump! No KKK! No fascist USA!'
Local Monica Jean, who declined to give her last name, told the crowd: 'I am a gay Latina woman. Last night, I found out that most of my country hates me.'
A nearby Chase Bank window was also broken after the protest peeled away from the monument and went down St Charles Avenue. Passersby said masked men did it.

American flags were set ablaze in the hipster capital as dozens of people blocked traffic and forced delays on two rail lines, Bloomberg reported.
Earlier in the evening Trump supporters had jeered and taunted the protesters.
At one point, one of the Trump backers was chased Pioneer Courthouse Square and hit in the back of the head with a skateboard before the fight was broken up,

The White House
Protesters have gathered for a second night outside the White House before marching to picket the new Trump International Hotel in Washington DC.
Human rights groups and student organizations came together to show their commitment against 'hatred, racism, sexism or bigotry'.
A post about the event read: 'We protest and participate because we believe in each other, our collective power and the belief that we can create a community and economy for all of us'.
Disappointed voters of all ages lit candles before moving on to Trump's new hotel.
There people chants of 'say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here' were met with cheers. Others chanted: 'They go low, we go high'.

Across the country
Earlier today some protests took place on university campuses in Democrat states, after alcohol-fuelled parties descended into wakes as swathes of Republican red spread across the map.
In Philadelphia, swastikas, racist graffiti, and allusions to Nazi Germany appeared on shopfronts overnight. One shop had 'Sieg Heil 2016' painted on its window with a swastika. Others had 'Trump', where the 'T' was replaced with a swastika.
Hundreds of people in California, Oregon, Seattle and Pennsylvania marched in the early hours as Trump's win was confirmed. Police said 500 angry voters swarmed onto streets in and around the University of California, Los Angeles, shouting anti-Trump expletives and lighting flares.
In Oakland, more than 100 protesters took to the streets, with local media reporting they burned a Trump effigy, smashed windows of the Oakland Tribune newsroom and set tyres and bins on fire. Police said one woman was struck by a car and seriously injured.


On the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, a group of around 30 Trump supporters tried to shout down demonstrators, the LA Times reports.
In Oregon, university students shouted obscenities as dozens of Clinton supporters blocked traffic in downtown Portland and staged a sit-in on two light-rail trains. The crowd burned American flags and chanted 'That's not my president.'
One protester, Margaret Gibson, said: 'I'm f****** terrified of this whole thing. The mission is to raise support that Donald Trump cannot be our president.
'I think the whole point of this protest is to get awareness that Donald Trump just won. The whole world as we know it for minorities will be uprooted and destroyed as well as our whole economic system and morals being exposed to the world in such a bad way.'
In Pennsylvania, hundreds of University of Pittsburgh students marched through the streets, with some in the crowd calling for unity, while others organised an event entitled: 'Emergency Meeting: Let's Unite to Stop President Trump.' Students chanted: 'No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA'.

Thousands of people have gathered in central London again to protest against plans for Britain to leave the European Union.
Demonstrators wearing EU flags as capes and with homemade banners saying 'Bremain' and 'We Love EU' gathered on the streets around Park Lane for the March for Europe rally.
Around 40,000 protesters are taking part in the event, which was organised on social media. They marched through the streets of London, from Park Lane to Parliament Square.
A smoke bomb was let off at Parliament Square and one person held a placard with a characateur mocking the candidate for Prime Minister, Michael Gove.

People of all ages attended the 'March for Europe Event', many of which were wrapped in flags as they strolled through London today

Comedian and satirist Mark Thomas organised the march to address his 'anger, frustration and need to do something'. He estimated between 20,000 and 40,000 people would be at the event.
He said: 'We would accept the result of the referendum if it was fought on a level playing field. But it was full of misinformation and people need to do something with their frustration.'
A cheer went up from the crowd at 11.30am as the marchers set off.



Most protestors were young adults, and many were draped in EU flags while others waved banners proclaiming slogans like 'I'm with EU' or simply 'Wrexit.'
They chanted 'what do we want to do? Stay in the EU,' as they set off for the Westminster political district.
'I was genuinely stunned on the morning after the vote,' said one marcher, Nathaniel Samson, 25, from Hertfordshire north of London.
'I feel deeply uncertain about my future,' he added. 'I'm on the march to voice my discontentment. I am accepting the result, but it's to show that we won't accept it quietly.'

London voted 60 per cent in favour of remaining in the EU in last Thursday's referendum, with younger voters widely in favour of staying in the EU, but 52 per cent of Britons overall cast ballots in favour of leaving.
Father and daughter Bill Baker, 59, and Jess Baker, 22, from Islington, north London, had made a banner for the march which read: 'I will always love EU.'
Ms Baker said: 'We didn't want to leave but if you respect the decision of the referendum, which we should, we still want Britain to be EU orientated, outward looking and inclusive.'
One of the rally organisers, King's College graduate Kieran MacDermott, said: 'We can prevent Brexit by refusing to accept the referendum as the final say and take our finger off the self-destruct button.'
Parliament should have the final say on whether Britain should leave, he told the BBC.

Philippa Griffin, 40, from Hertfordshire, brought a French stick to celebrate Europe as her alternative to a protest banner.
She said: 'I'm absolutely outraged at the way people voted, the lies the referendum was based on and the divide in the country because of it. My ideal outcome from this march is that MPs realise that leaving the EU is not what people truly want. It feels like our country has already changed.'
The Metropolitan Police said there would be officers at the event to provide 'flexible and appropriate' policing.
The vote to leave the EU was deeply split. Voters in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the capital London backed remaining, while those that chose to leave were largely from less affluent areas in England and Wales.

However, Gove has also faced fierce criticism for turning on his one-time ally Johnson.

[h=1]Why Trump's victory is a timely reminder to those in Britain who defy the will of the people by RICHARD LITTLEJOHN[/h]

• The rule of thumb used to be that all politics is local. No it’s not, it’s global
• Trump promised the outcome of the election would be ‘Brexit, plus, plus...'
• It was sweet revenge for the 58 million Americans Hillary smeared as ‘Deplorables’

There was one word — beginning with ‘Br’ and ending in ‘it’ — which kept tumbling from the lips of both jubilant Trump supporters and devastated Clintonistas as it became clear that The Donald had defied the pundits and the pollsters to become the 45th President of the United States.
Brexit.
We should have seen it coming, Hillary’s crestfallen cheerleaders complained. We told you so, said the Trump camp.

Trump didn’t just beat Clinton, he steam-rollered the Republican establishment, first by winning the party’s nomination and then by capturing the White House in spectacular style

The rule of thumb used to be that all politics is local. No it’s not, it’s global, is the new refrain.
Trump spotted it early. He promised that the outcome of this election would be ‘Brexit, plus, plus, plus . . .’
He was right. While there were local factors which propelled him to victory in rustbelt states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio, Hillary Clinton’s crushing defeat was part of the revolt on both sides of the Atlantic against the arrogant, self-selecting, self-perpetuating ‘liberal’ elite.
This was the sweet revenge of 58 million decent Americans Hillary smeared as ‘Deplorables’.
The sheer lack of comprehension on the faces of pro-Clinton commentators was a joy to behold. It reflected the shell-shock of the Remainers as it dawned on them that the Brexiteers had won.
Trump tapped into the same sense of alienation and anger which inspired so many people in Britain to vote Leave — the feeling that the smug political class and their celebrity sycophants have been lording it over the rest of us for far too long.

The sheer lack of comprehension on the faces of pro-Clinton commentators was a joy to behold. It reflected the shell-shock of the Remainers after realising Brexit had won



The revolt against the Democrats in traditional, blue-collar, working-class states mirrored the rejection of Labour in so many constituencies in the North of England. Similarly, Trump’s triumph had echoes of the rise of Ukip and the collapse of Call Me Dave’s Labour Lite project.
He didn’t just beat Clinton, he steam-rollered the Republican establishment, first by winning the party’s nomination and then by capturing the White House in spectacular style.
The result has shattered not one, but two dynasties that have dominated U.S. politics for almost 30 years, as well as torpedoing the legacy of America’s first black president, Barack Obama.
To win the Republican nomination, Trump slaughtered Jeb Bush, who would have been the third member of his family to occupy the Oval Office had he been successful. To win the White House, he trampled over Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady, whose ocean-going sense of entitlement made Gordon Brown look like a man who only became Prime Minister under duress.
The Bush family’s betrayal of the grassroots Republican voters who put them into office was manifest in their refusal to back Trump and the announcement of George H.W. Bush, father of Jeb and Dubya, that he would be voting for their hated arch-rival — and wife of his own nemesis — Hillary Clinton.
It only served to reinforce the already widely held view that the real divide in America was not between the two main parties, but between the aloof political class in Washington and the people who pay their wages.

Under Barack Obama, politicians and judges spent more time obsessing about whether a man should be allowed to use the ladies’ toilets than terrorism



For a brief moment it seemed, too, that the Clintons were not going to accept the result. Even as it became glaringly apparent that Trump was heading for victory, the Democratic Party chairman turned up on TV declaring that there would be no concession.
Those of us who remember the bitter 2000 contest between George W. Bush and Al Gore in Florida had visions of the outcome being contested in court again.
When ‘liberals’ lose a democratic vote, they often resort to litigation. Look at the way in which petulant, resentful Remainers have taken legal action in a cynical attempt to derail the Brexit vote.
Both in Britain and America, the democratic will of the electorate has increasingly been usurped by judicial activism. If Clinton had won, she would have appointed to the Supreme Court judges hell-bent on advancing the ‘liberal’ agenda on everything from gun control to transgender rights.
Under Barack Obama, American politicians and judges have spent more time obsessing about whether a man should be allowed to use the ladies’ toilets than what to do about Islamist terrorism at home and abroad.

Trump tapped into the same sense of alienation and anger which inspired so many people in Britain to vote Leave

Although Trump is personally relaxed on issues such as gay marriage and abortion, he can be relied upon to appoint judges to uphold the constitution, not pursue a Leftist political crusade.
His victory is a timely reminder to all those in Britain who think they can use the courts to thwart the democratic process.
It should also serve as a warning to MPs planning to disrupt Britain’s departure from the EU. There will be a day of reckoning at the ballot box.
Although we don’t have a presidential system, there is a danger that if our judges and elected representatives keep defying the properly expressed wishes of the people, the backlash could some day propel a Trump-type figure into 10 Downing Street.
The day of reckoning for America’s political class came yesterday. A rank outsider — given lukewarm support by his own party’s leadership and faced with an overwhelmingly hostile media — overcame the odds to capture the most powerful office on earth.
No other candidate, with the possible exception of Nigel Farage, has ever been so roundly vilified.



Yet his core message on Islamist terrorism, illegal immigration and American jobs being lost to cheap foreign competition, resonated in the heartlands.
His pitch was not dissimilar to that of the extreme elements of the Brexit campaign.
The more he was attacked by the Establishment and the pro-Clinton media, the greater his appeal to the disillusioned and dispossessed. Like Brexit, he managed to enlist the support of those who seldom — in some cases, never — bother to vote.
Millions of Americans turned out across the country for his rallies. The only time his opponent came anywhere near matching his crowds was when she surrounded herself with A-list Lear Jet Liberals.

The Bush family’s betrayal of the grassroots Republican voters who put them into office was manifest in their refusal to back Trump (George W Bush and wife Laura Bush)

But the abiding impression is that the masses had come to see Bruce Springsteen or Katy Perry (whoever she is), not Hillary.
Of course, Trump is a celebrity in his own right, thanks to reality TV. But one of these days it might dawn on pop stars and actors that their artistic talent and popularity doesn’t give them the right to impose their political prejudices on their fanbase.
In fact, it could well prove counter-productive. There’s no accurate polling data, but my guess would be that the majority of Springsteen’s blue-collar followers will have voted for Trump. Sucking up to Crooked Hillary may have earned him a few brownie points in the music industry and Hollywood, but it won’t shift many copies of his new autobiography.
When Springsteen sang at the final Clinton rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he performed an acoustic version of his Eighties disco hit Dancing In The Dark. He couldn’t have chosen a more appropriate song.
As it turned out, the Clinton campaign, the pollsters and the pundits were all dancing in the dark. Pennsylvania voted Trump. It was the state which pushed him over the line and forced Clinton to concede.
Springsteen would have been better off reviving his hero Bob Dylan’s Ballad Of A Thin Man, which contains the line: ‘Something is happening here, but you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr Jones?’
Well, they do now. The people have spoken and the political class must get the message or perish — both in America and Britain.

Could Obama's last act as president be pardoning Hillary? White House won't rule out last minute clemency that would protect Clinton from Trump's vow to 'lock her up'

Even though Hillary Clinton (left) hasn't been charged with a crime, the White House is not ruling out the possibility of her receiving a last-minute pardon from President Obama (right). On Wednesday, during press secretary Josh Earnest's briefing, he was asked whether the president had considered using his executive power in favor of the former secretary of state. 'The president has offered clemency to a substantial number of Americans who were previously serving time in federal prisons,' Earnest said.

Would be doing Trump a favor by taking a large load of shit off his plate. At least it would make it Obama's responsibility to let the witch melt away into the night. And let's Trump focus on real issues. Hillary is in the rear-view mirror.
