Barack Obama’s nightmare comes true as Donald Trump wins presidency

Nov.13/ Yemeni press

President Obama’s nightmare scenario came true early Wednesday as Republican Donald Trump, the man whom Mr. Obama said couldn’t win and wouldn’t win, indeed won the election to succeed him.
The White House didn’t react to Mr. Trump’s election until after dawn broke in Washington, with press secretary Josh Earnest saying Mr. Obama had called Mr. Trump to congratulate him and invite him to the White House.
Anti-Trump protesters gathered outside the gates of the White House around 3:30 a.m., shortly after Mr. Trump gave his victory speech.
British Prime Minister Theresa May congratulated Mr. Trump publicly before Mr. Obama did, saying she will “look forward to working with President-elect Donald Trump.”
“We are, and will remain, strong and close partners on trade, security and defense,” Ms. May said. “Britain and the United States have an enduring and special relationship based on the values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.”
Mr. Trump’s election drew parallels to the British prime minister’s rise to power following the decision by British voters earlier this year to leave the European Union, a move opposed by Mr. Obama.
