As we all should know, Donald Trump is our next president of the United States. Untrustworthy and change has indeed won over the hearts of the American people and the oval office. Exit polling has shown how Trump made history Wednesday morning by pulling off one of the most improbable election victories. His win caught us all by surprise, we thought so many people were going against him after his comments and scandals, but in the end, did they really?
Exit polling showed that 49 percent of white college graduates voted for Trump and 45 percent of them said they voted for Clinton. Though we didn’t think that white college graduates would support Trump, according to many class discussions, this was not the case. However, him not winning much of the minority parties was one correct aspect that was called by many people prior to Election Day. Many people were not particularly enthusiastic about any candidate, but they still decided that Trump was the lesser of the two evils and most of them still voted for Trump.
Trump had a big lead among people who said they dislike both candidates.
Donald Trump may not have been everyone’s favored candidate, but he is the one who pulled out the win. As predicted in class, America wants to see change, and change is definitely what’s in store. At the end of the day, Americans favored Trump’s untrustworthiness over Hillary’s instability.
