Election night 2016 - summed up in two photos

Election night 2016 - summed up in two photos

Results are in: Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States.

Early predictions said that Hillary Clinton would finally mobilise the large Hispanic electorate in the key battleground state of Florida, but the Republican won the state, and a series of shocks followed as he took Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

To say there are two very extreme reactions to his victory would be the understatement of the year.

It can be summed up neatly in two photos:
