In a huge statistical upset, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has won the 2016 election, and will assume office as President of the United States in January 2017.

Trump's campaign has brought drastic issues to light, from sexual assault against women to anti-immigration sentiments, and we'll be grappling with them together in the coming months and years.
