MANY PEOPLE WERE surprised to wake up to the news that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States.

A lot of people expected the race to be close, with most polls predicting Hillary Clinton would become the first female US president.

But, as we’ve learned more than once before, polls can wrong – sometimes very wrong.

Some people are taking to Twitter to vent their frustration at the result – with #HesNotMyPresident trending.
