The unexpected victory of Donald Trump in the US Presidential elections sent shockwaves across the planet, with the front pages of major newspapers capturing the sentiment of astonishment and disbelief for the result. Ranging from titles like French newspaper’s “Liberation” reading “American Psycho” on its front page with a dark-lit Donald Trump figure holding up his finger in the shape of a gun, to the statue of Liberty holding its face in its palms titled “What have they done?” in “Daily Mail”, the global media chimed in on the US elections results. “The Guardian” used a less emotional tone opting for “Trump wins. Now the world waits”, while “The Daily Telegraph” has a more positive take writing “Trump’s American revolution”. Economic newspaper “Financial Times” uses the title “Trump moves to reassure shocked allies and nervous investors” after the initial jitters his election caused to global markets, while “The Sun” remembers a 16-year-old joke by famous cartoon TV series “The Simpsons” with cartoon Homer Simpson next to a Donal Trump figure with a bubble reading “D’OH!”.
