Donald J. Trump Elected President of the United States — Again — in Apparent Blowout
Move over, Grover Cleveland. You’ve just been joined in the history books by the billionaire from Queens.
Donald J. Trump is projected to return to the White House. Believe it or not, after all he has been put through, the guy won. We didn’t have to wait days to know who our next president will be; we only had to wait a couple hours past midnight.
By the time the counting is done, Trump may have 312 electoral votes and the popular vote.
How did Trump win such a decisive victory? Especially since every pollster insisted the race was a dead heat even throughout the afternoon and into the evening?

In the end though, no one should discount the power of prayer in deciding this election — and for that matter, putting Trump’s head at just the perfect angle at just the perfect time to thwart what would have been a perfect kill shot that summer day in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The president-elect himself noted God’s role in sparing him for the task the Lord has at hand.
Trump Addresses the Nation
Trump came onstage at 2:30 in the morning to address his supporters and the American people. “Look what happened! Is this crazy?” he asked.
“I will not rest until I deliver the strong, safe, and prosperous nation for our children,” he declared. “This will truly be the golden age of America. Today will be remembered as the day America took...
