WHEN it was first announced that the property mogul and reality television personality Donald Trump would be running for president, it was greeted with scepticism with many believing it was a publicity stunt.

But ‘Donald’ continued to defy expectation with his unconventional and bombastic style which lead to him, winning plenty of plaudits as well as receiving widespread criticism for his rhetoric. There were numerous controversies which circled Trump’s campaign.. Despite all this he was still able to win the republican vote beating the likes of Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.

Donald Trump’s policies have been attacked by critics with some critics questioning how they would work. Many have criticised Trump for not being clearer on his policies. Trump’s

NEWS in BRIEF

By Timi Banji

> After Trump’s win many on Europes right wing congratulated him. Well known faces such as Marie Le Pen the leader of the French National Front described the victory as “a great move-ment across the worold”. Nigel Farage the man who masterminded Brexit even volunteered to become Britains ambassador to America.

> During the Trump campaign many remarks made by Mr Trump were seen as racist, sexist and homophobic. Over the many months of the campaign Trump has been seen as a homophobe by the LGBTQ community. However

during an event Trump said “I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression from a hateful foreign ide-ology”. This quote shows us in some way Trump might still have respect for this community.

> During this historic election more Muslims from the US Muslim commu-nity have voted for Trump than voting for Mitt Romney, the Republican can-didate in the last presidential election. Romney received 4.4 percent of the Muslim vote while Trump gained 13 percent of votes during the election according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

ON NOVEMBER 8th 2016 America were shocked by the news of who their 45th president would be and that is Mr Donald Trump.

These are some of the conse-quences of his presidency. Donald Trump believes that “Obama care” is a “disaster” and has stated during his campaign that he is going to repeal the president’s Affordable Care Act, which aims at extending the number of less wealthy Americans with health insurance.

However recently the BBC released an article which said that Trump is going to “reconsider” his views on the health act after meeting Obama. This however is going to cause a big problem for Trump be-cause repealing Obamacare was one of his priorities. Many voters voted for him to get this repealed.

A consequence of Trumps new action will cause many voters to go against him.

One of Donald Trump’s main promises was building a wall be-tween Mexico and the United states. He also stated that Mexico would have to pay for it. If Mexico do pay the diplomatic ties between both states will deteriorate. Also the ge-ography of the border on both states shows it’s impossible to build a wall. The price of building a solid concre-ate wall on the border would cost ten and a half billion dollars according to CNN. On top of that recently he has stated that the wall he is building is going to be partly a “fence”. In a way Donald Trump’s promise will not be fully fulfilled.

So what have America really voted for? Half of what Trump has stated will not happen and what’s to come no one knows.

who got 37%. And when it came to the older voters, it seems Trump’s age range took his side with 53 percent of voters over the age of 45 going for Trump and 44 percent of voters going for Clinton.

Clinton won the popular vote of the people but her voters where spread more evenly across the country where-as Trump’s were more concentrated in the marginal seats and that’s what won him the presidency.

foreign policy has been controversial. He has proposed mass deportation of illegal migrants from Mexico, for instance. Throughout his campaign Trump has courted controversy from mocking the disabled to claiming to see Muslims celebrate 9/11 in New York.

The controversy has not just come from his speeches but from the protest from his rallies which have turned violent. Many have criticised Trumps rhetoric towards minorities with critics calling him a racist, xenophobic and islamophobic. However some have argued that his has led to an increase in his support and has led to him being seen as an anti-establishment figure.

Coming into the election many pollsters predicted a Clinton win, the Huffington Post saying that Clinton would win by 323 votes to Trump’s 215. But once the results came in it was clear that Trump had won the electoral vote, however losing the popular vote. We now wait to see what President Trump has in store for America.

New Mexico who spoke to the BBC said “I was sitting down in the library in my school and a very big man wear-ing a trump shirt walks up behind me. I start to turn around, but before I can see who’s there, a hand is on my head… at-tempting to push my hijab back. I told him he has every right to believe what

he wants and he can say whatever he wants but as soon as he puts his hands on me , then things get serious “she says . “He then walked away saying I’m go-ing to sit down before you throw a gre-nade at me”. “I told him that he has eve-ry right to believe what he wants and he can say whatever he wants but as soon as he puts his hands on me , then things will get serious.

DURING the election Hillary Clinton wore a variety of clean pressed, very plain suits. They are a range of col-ours but one colour that pops up the most is blue.

Hilary probably took inspiration from the rainbow and that said she wears the colours loud and proud not the colours wearing her. Another rea-sons is that she’s showing her support to the gay society in the different coloured suits. The reason for the colour blue, is because it symbolises loyalty, strength, wisdom and trust. And Clinton wore blue many times on many occasions as blue represents what comes across in her campaign.

For Trump on the other hand had a slight formal but boring attire for the

whole election with the same colour red tie with a few patterns thrown in there. The reason for the colour red, is because it has a lot of meaning behind it, such as energy, war, danger strength, power, passion and desire. Trump wore red throughout the whole thing and red definitely represents what comes across in his campaign and we can unfortu-nately see more coming and his boring suits. Hillary and Donald’s fashion has taken a toll on the public, more celebs who can afford it, such as Beyoncé in a plain pink suit. There’s also been im-pressions of her fashion that can be seen on this year’s Teen Choice Awards, as John Cena dresses in drag as Hillary.

Miley Cyrus (pictured above) was a vocal supporter of Clinton.

Since the American elections there has been a several number of hate crimes which has flooded all over dif-ferent types of social media. Not all the reports are verified, but most of these verbal hate on social media is coming from teenaged kids who are all over the net spreading negative feed.

Reported hate crimes against Mus-lims have also rose to 6.7per cent. Many Muslims live in deep fear and are afraid of representing their religion in public due to the fact of getting verbally

Big Moe’s Dinner IN London there are many restau-rants but only a few have an Ameri-can dinner theme. One of these restau-rants that I enjoyed eating in was ‘Big Moes diner’. I enjoyed the Texan strip Burger. The burger had a unique taste to it. I also enjoyed the chicken stripes as well as the chips.

While you eat you can hear old classic American songs. There mainly from the 1950s era. The mood is very relaxing and its great place to bring friends. The desserts are good as well. Big Moe’s Diner
