Is this a joke? It looks like America has ‘trumped’ for Donald!

Donald Trump is sensationally odds-on to become the next President of the United States of America.

If you’re waking up this morning to this news, you’re not having a nightmare, this is real – and it now looks very, very likely now that Donal Trump will become the most powerful leader in the free world.

The Republican candidate stormed to victory in the battleground state of Florida and is now the bookies’ favourite to win the Presidency.

The billionaire Republican won the Sunshine State to open up a possible path to the White House.

He also won the crucial swing states of Ohio and North Carolina and is now the hot favourite to defeat his rival Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s campaign was built on xenophobia with one of his popular policies among his supporters is the idea of him constructing a wall to keep Mexican’s out.

The same xenophobic rhetoric worked for Nigel Farage and his UKIP Party in the UK – when they surprisingly forced through Brexit – and it has repeated itself in the race for The White House.

Unbelievably, the Republican Hispanic vote has actually increased this time out, since Mitt Romney ran in 2012.

It looks almost like a formality now that Donal Trump will become the next President of the United States.

Well done America. You’ve surpassed yourself yet again.
