This is an expected result. Everyone knew as soon as he decided to run again he would win. He is a hero for the common American. Americans who live overseas are usually the rich people. Don’t know much about everyday life in America.

Didn't bother you when YOU people owned it before him.
Fighto!
As for Japan, I'm reasonably sure Japan will be exempted from the 20% import taxes the Trump policy mandates - as will other US allies like Taiwan, Australia, South Korea and UK.
I think that's how it will play out, but not 100% sure just yet.

This is turning into a full-blown rout across all the battleground states. Trump quite very well wins popular votes too.

Which part of America first don't you understand? Its the US allies which have taken the US for a ride for long, and the good thing about Trump is he will treat everyone equal. No sweet deals unless there is something in it for the US.

And just wish I could rub it in further for those who claimed that Trump was regretting making JD Vance his running mate.
Instead Walz proved to be a drag for Harris, not that she would have fared better even if she had any other running mate.

Here's an excerpt from a CNN analyst:
Harry Enten
I grew up in the Bronx, NY. Trump is getting nearly 30% of the vote in the Bronx right now. You have to go back to Ronald Reagan in 1984, before I was born, to see such a strong performance from a Republican presidential candidate. Trump's inroads with voters of color aren't just in the polls. It's in the results and are very, very real.
Great Bird
Presidents Musk&Thiel are winning. Good thing we're told it's a vote against the "elite".
Deregulation, anti-union, anti-worker, tax breaks for the rich, with the famous never-happening trickle-down, anti vaccine (well, if he gives RFK jr that job at least), anti health, anti health-care, pro-pollution. Puzzling priorities.
Must be a vote for the cats and dogs of Springfield?

The tech CEO and social media mogul on Monday evening replied to a post on X from right-wing influencer FischerKing64, who posted about how Trump’s plans for mass deportations of immigrants combined with Musk’s plans as a White House adviser to cut federal spendingwould initially crash the economy, before creating a “sounder footing.”

Looks like the majority of US voters like me didn't want to spin the roulette wheel with a Democrat candidate who couldn't go once to the borders of a sovereign country to see how massive the intrusion of illegal entrants was among them gangs and cartel members from Central and South America - despite being the President's designated 'Border Czar'.
When challenged about it all including the nightmare logistics of coping with hundreds of thousands of people with no legal permission and with no ID or criminal checks turning up in states and cities of the US, Harris had no answer and even did her goofy laugh. She also had no economic vision about reviving the rustbelt cities with shuttered industries and no reassurance for workers in the energy industries that they and their families would not end up on the scrapheap. Working class people voted anti Democrat in numbers not seen since Hilary's failure in 2016.
Just national security issues and the economy were enough to down her and her woke allies. 'It's the economy stupid'. Muslim voters turned against the Democrats in droves because of their failure to articulate any kind of solution to Gaza except for bombing those ordinary residents who had to be with Hamas under sufferance because there was no other choice.
And we aint dumb enough to think Trump will 'Ban abortion' - one of the dumbest election catchcries ever heard. He is a statist who believes that states have the right to make social policy and medical decisions. Kamala's focus on abortion, celebrity endorsements from Hollyweird and the sick music industry and woke social engineering issues made her lose. LOL at Beyonce, that major political thinker saying 'Don't mess with Texas'. She was right - Texans showed they prefer the rule of law over people chaotically deciding to descend on a country with no visas and no other permission.
Suck it up Democrats but I doubt you've learned the lessons you should.

Trump Day 1-
Be a dictator.
Mass deportations, including as he said those legal immigrants from Haiti he denigrated.
Fire all the prosecutors in cases against him.
Pardon all the Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

The former US president’s show of strength in key battlegrounds shrinks Kamala Harris’ possible paths to victory. CNN-Say it. Print it. Run it.

Quit beating around the bush.

There is no hope for Harris to win. None she can not win.
She knows it and is crying in her beer.
This is better than winning the Superbown on Christmas day while eating a bacon burger.

And a Big LOL at the Democrats on here wailing and whining about what's going on back home. Yet you're happy to live under a govt that's been more right wing for decades with even the so called 'left' side of J politics not that different, in Japan. With no legal permission for all the sexual and other minority rights in the USA. Hypocrisy is even worse when it's such a lived experience.

Just like Hillary, she was too bitter and emotional to do the honorable thing as is customary. What a sad example for women who have to fight those tropes every day.
No matter. No one will ever hear her or Walz's names again after today.

I’d like to extend a warm welcome to fellow Americans from all sides of the political spectrum. Together, we have the opportunity to build a stronger nation—a place where all good people feel valued and supported.
Let’s recognize the hard work that Harrison and her team have put in. While we may disagree on policy, we can all agree on a shared goal—a better, more prosperous America for everyone.
Now, as we celebrate Trump’s victory, let’s come together in support of his leadership and work toward making the next four years a foundation for an even brighter future for all Americans. By setting aside our differences, we can choose to approach each other with respect, listen with open minds, and find the common ground that unites us.
In these divided times, rising above partisan divides to focus on our shared values can be the key to a brighter, stronger America.

Some savage info for the Dems in exit polls highlighted on X from Harry Lambert from the Daily Beast.
That is a huge coalition of people against the incumbent Democrats. A huge cross-section of people lifting the middle finger to the Obamas, the Clintons, the Bidens, Pelosi, their Wall St. backers, and yes, to their puppet Kamala Harris. As the exit polls say, 9% of the 54% who didn't like Trump still voted for him. If you are bad, it is foolish to assume you have the right to demand others consider you less bad than someone else. Your job is become less bad.
The UK Labour Party sent activists to campaign for Harris last month. Many commentators in the UK, including Centrist Dad favourite "The Rest is Politics", said Harris would win easily. This has also proved to be very foolish.

A good day for America, and a good day for the world. Not a great day for those with late-stage Trump derangement syndrome, but that's a self-inflicted disease, and you will get over it in time, hopefully. The vitriol hatred you spewed in his direction actually empowered him and his supporters and those that were on the fence, so there's that to thank you for as well. We all play our part!
Time at last to move forward and at least try and be friends with your fellow countrymen/women again. Listen to the calls to unity and at least allow yourself a moment to try not to let cynicism take hold. Where there's a will to rise above it all there's a way. Then everyone wins.
Congratulations again to those who saw this coming, like an unstoppable train. Amazing result. Lot of people worked very, very hard to make it happen.

Sure it was the Trump side that said Trump said put Cheney in front of a firing squad, which was fake, or that Vance had relations with a sofa, and the list goes on.
Already the left is blaming MEN just like you.
The fact she was an unlikable candidate that performed extremely poorly.
She could say a single coherent thing and relied on "Trump bad" " Trump dangerous" Trump Trump Trump Trump.......a bad strategy.
If he could have actually said something, made her position clear, etc..instead of just focusing on Trump hate to get votes she may have won.
But instead all her campaign did was call people names and accuse people like you just did.
Obama, Clinton Walz, Harris all the left MSM all they did was to call men sexist, black men sexist, republicans stupid, white people bad, and then they expected these groups to vote for her!

This comment section is full of immigrants in Japan defending an anti immigrants candidate. That's rich.
But as Donnie said, he likes the uneducated.
And as European, I will never comprehend the reasoning behind voting for a guy who has 34 felonies and did attempt a coup 3 years ago (I guess a lot of people has defaulting memory). And this has nothing to do with liberals.

Nice try.
Even in his speech tonight he again pointed out he isn't against immigration as long as it is done legally.
How many here on this comment section are here in Japan illegally!
This is why Trump won, these kind of false claims.
The USA was built on immigration but legal immigration.
Between 1.5 and 2 million people per year immigrate to the USA legally.
These people applied, spent in many cases years waiting and get in following the law.
Then someone enters illegally and the left think they get to jump the line is just fine.
Ask the 1.6 million that did it legally in 2023 if they think it is fair to give these illegals a free pass.
