Republican Donald Trump stunned the world on Tuesday by defeating heavily favoured Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, ending eight years of Democratic rule and sending the United States on a new path.
A wealthy property developer and former reality TV host, Trump rode a wave of anger towards Washington insiders to defeat Clinton, whose establishment resume includes stints as first lady, US senator and secretary of state.
