Alwaght- The US Presidential elections introduced US next president on Wednesday with Americans failing to elect Hillary Clinton as the country’s first female president.
Based on the latest count of votes in the US presidential elections, Republican candidate, Donald Trump managed to pass the 270 threshold of electoral votes to be the next US President.
Trump secured majority vote in the Electoral College with at least 290 votes as Clinton only won 218 electoral votes which gave the republican candidate a lead over the democrat one.
Hilary Clinton’s failure to gain a majority is not only a defeat for his Democrat part but also a defeat for many advocates that campaigned her as the first female president in the US history.
Muslim population in the country are the next community that feels affected by the result as Donald Trump was famous for his harsh language on Islam even threatening to fire Muslims from the country.
The republican controversial candidate was known for his Islamophobic remarks who believed fighting Islam in the country should be a priority in the US politics.
By Trump emerging triumphant in the US elections, many Muslims apparently plan to flee the country as CNN reported that Canada's immigration website crashed for some people, posting a "500 - Internal server error" message.
Many experts believe rather than a yes to the Trump himself, the results was a no to the current US policies both internally and externally.
The move could mean a public demand for more transparent political system, domestically and a less hawkish stand internationally as Trump had pledged to take more cooperative stance on Syria and work with Russian and Iranian governments to fight terrorism in Syria.
Financial markets also reacted in shock with many major stock markets plunging as Dow goes down more than 650 points early Wednesday morning, or more than 3.5%. At their low point on Tuesday night, Dow futures were down more than 800 points.
That puts the US market on track for its biggest percentage decline since August 2011 when they plunged 6.6% after the US credit rating was downgraded.
Stock indexes across Asia were also deep in the red. Japan's Nikkei plummeted 5.5% and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped around 3%.
Markets hate uncertainty -- and many investors believe Trump's unpredictable nature and anti-trade stance could bring global turmoil if he wins the presidency.
"Shock and awe would aptly describe movements of global markets right now," said Matt Simpson, a senior markets analyst at ThinkMarkets.
"It is looking like another Brexit-type surprise," said Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist at LPL Financial. "The fear of uncertainty is taking hold, as the potential for a Trump victory has many taking a sell first and ask questions later approach."
By comparison, the Dow fell 610 points, or 3.4% on June 24 after Britain's shocking vote to leave the European Union.
