How headlines around the world summarized Trump's shocking election victory
It’s tough to pinpoint exactly when it sunk in that Donald J. Trump had been elected as the next President of the United States.
For some, there was the moment CNN first suggested Hillary Clinton had called Trump to concede the election before it was officially over. Or when Trump uttered the first words of his victory speech. Maybe it was when an official news notification came through on your smartphone.
Or, of course, there are those who relied on the good, old-fashioned newspaper headline before accepting that this event of utmost incredulity had actually unfolded.
