Sopel's Soapbox - What a Week
People scoffed, the pollsters dismissed it, the media thought better, the world is shocked - Donald Trump is President elect of the United States.
But as one Trump voter put it "He's done something amazing. He has turned the establishment on its end: is a man who never ran for political office, decided he was going to do it, beat the odds. I feel like it's a huge statement."
Jon Sopel and Katty Kay, presenters of World News America, talk about how people voted in the US elections. They discuss sexism in politics and how Donald Trump’s choice of who he brings in to the White House will influence the direction of his presidency.
Also on the programme, how the world has reacted to his election - we hear from BBC correspondents, in China Russia and Turkey.
