Results

Despite this controversial program, on November 8, 2016, Donald Trump won presidential election.

Hillary Clinton actually got more votes than Donald Trump, but because of the electoral system, he won the presidency. Indeed, we can see that Hillary Clinton had 1.300.000 more votes than Trump.
