He’s Hired! Donald Trump Is Elected 45th President of the United States in Stunning Upset.
Republican candidate Donald J. Trump won Tuesday’s presidential election in a shocking victory.
The 70-year-old billionaire businessman defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in a path to victory that became clearer after wins in key swing states including Florida, North Carolina and Ohio. The Associated Press called the race at 2:30 a.m.
“I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past — of which there were a few people — I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so we can unify our great country,” he said as he addressed supporters in Midtown Manhattan after his victory.
Trump also told the crowd that Clinton called him to concede, and said that “we owe her a major debt of gratitude.”
“I’ve just received a call from Secretary Clinton, she congratulated us, it’s about us, on our victory. And I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign. She fought very hard,” he also said.
The man who goes by the Secret Service code name “Mogul” had previously told PEOPLE: “It is the biggest story in politics.”
Trump had endured the nail biting wait for the results surrounded by his five children: sons Donald Jr., 38, Eric, 32, and Barron, 10, daughters Ivanka, 35, and Tiffany, 23, alongside wife Melania, 46, and some of his grandchildren.
Despite trailing in the polls throughout the month of October, the former Apprentice star and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, rebounded in the final days to secure a surprise victory. Clinton’s campaign had been dealt a blow after the FBI launched another probe into her emails before confirming they would not take further action – just two days before the election.
Trump has long been considered an unconventional choice for the country’s highest office, taking many departures from the standard road to the White House.
He praised foreign leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin and criticized American allies. His campaign was self-funded, a point of pride for the candidate, who claimed nobody could buy his influence.
He relied on a team of relatively unknown advisors, including press secretary Hope Hicks, who had formerly handled publicity for his daughter Ivanka’s luxury lines.
Meanwhile, Trump’s glamorous wife, Melania, barely joined him on the campaign trail, appearing only at his debates – and making just one public campaign speech, on Thursday, concentrating on her bid to ban cyberbullying.
Instead, Melania insisted she wanted to stay at home for the sake of their young son.
In her place, Trump’s adult children stepped in to handle campaign appearances, with Ivanka telling PEOPLE Melania had “the right priorities.”
Over the last year, Trump successfully harnessed a widespread frustration with inside-the-Beltway politics to win over a powerful following, running on the platform that he would “Make American Great Again” by “draining the swamp” in D.C.
“We need really competent leadership right now, maybe more so than ever before,” Trump told PEOPLE in September 2015, at the outset of his campaign. “You need spirit, you need outreach, and you need jobs. I’m going to stop the world from ripping off the U.S. I’ll be able to take care of that.”
BECOMING THE DONALD
Trump’s background is decidedly different from that of most presidential candidates.
Born in Queens, New York, in 1946, the second youngest of five children born to Fred Trump, a real estate developer, and Mary, a homemaker, the young Donald John Trump was told by his father: “You are a killer … you are a king.”
The family was well off; Trump’s grandfather Friedrich Drumpf was a German immigrant who opened a series of hotels during the Yukon Gold Rush, while father Fred Trump had a thriving development business in Brooklyn and Queens. Mary had emigrated from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland – a world away from Manhattan.
Trump avoided the Vietnam draft four times, and after graduating from Wharton, expanded his family’s business empire to Manhattan real estate, taking on his first major project, the Grand Hyatt Hotel, in 1978, after negotiating a 40-year tax abatement with the city.
