Donald Trump has registered a sweeping victory in the US presidential election, securing a majority in the popular vote, and at least 295 electoral votes. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign was unable to withstand Trump’s resurgence, a story that has been captured in headlines across the globe.
From outcast – To felon – To President-elect
The New York Times captured the historic comeback of former president Trump with the phrase, ‘Trump Storms Back’ accompanied by an analysis directed at the voters, ‘A comeback that tells us who we are’.
It read, “The string of accusations lodged during the two years of Mr. Trump’s candidacy, seemingly enough to end the career of almost any politician, became in his hands a fund-raising bonanza and a rallying cry, a deep pool of fuel for his rage and a call to demand retribution.”

American Dread
The British newspaper The Guardian’s headline captured the sentiment with the phrase “American Dread,” cleverly taking a take on the concept of the ‘American dream’, accompanied by a close-up portrait of the president-elect.
As Americans woke up to a “transformed country and a rattled world,” the reality of Trump’s surprising return to power began to settle in, wrote Guardian’s Ed Pilkington.

Dawn of a new Trump era
The Washington Post called Donald Trump’s return to the White House a “historic realignment of the American electorate that upended decades of traditional coalitions” as he maintained his majority support “among men and White voters without college degrees but made dramatic inroads with Latinos, first-time voters and middle- and lower-income households”, roaring the headline ‘Dawn of a new Trump era’.
