What part did the Obama presidency play in Trump’s election? How did Trump lay the groundwork for his eventual victory while President Obama was in office? Finally, after watching this video, why do you think the United States is so politically divided today?

After a long and aggressive election campaign Donald Trump, the tycoon with no political experience who for many represents a leap in the dark, won from Hillary Clinton, a veteran candidate, who has a consistent public career.

A result that has perplexed the world.

The surprise was greater after the verification that the opinion polls were wrong. What's more, the poll shows that Hillary lost the presidency even though she received 337,636 more votes than Trump.

People are divided in the US because many of them do not can accept Trump's victory.
