Tears and cheers as Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters clash at the White House

Tensions ran high with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump supporters in front of the White House.

Donald Trump was elected president of the United States after capturing Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, putting him over the 270 threshold.

Voters eager to shake up the nation’s political establishment picked the celebrity businessman to become the nation’s 45th president.

Trump rode an astonishing wave of support from voters seeking change and willing to accept a candidate loose with facts and accused of sexual misconduct.
