Donald Trump sensationally won the White House race this morning as Hillary Clinton phoned him at 2.30am to concede she had lost.
She made the private call shortly after sending her campaign chairman to give her supporters exactly the opposite message, that it was not over - a humiliating and bizarre end to a political career which had put her on the verge of being the first female president.
Instead a jubilant Trump headquarters erupted in cheers as the news broke.
At Trump headquarters, running mate Mike Pence was first to take the stage and said: 'This is a historic night. The American people have spoken and the American people have elected their new champion.'
To chants of USA he said: 'I come to this moment deeply humbled, grateful to God for his amazing grace. I am mostly grateful to our president-elect, whose leadership and vision will make America great again.
'Let me say, it's my high honor and distinct privilege to introduce to you the President-Elect of the United States of America - Donald Trump.'
The bizarre ending to Clinton's political career came after Trump confounded pollsters at every turn, capturing one 'swing' state after another in a line of toppled dominoes that stretched across three time zones and now ends at the White House.
The last to fall was the Keystone State - after Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and Wisconsin all went to the Republican. That gave him 274 votes in the electoral college - the winner is the first to achieve 270.
He is also winning in the popular vote by a more than one per cent margin.
But Clinton is clearly gearing up to go to court across the country to try to force recounts in close-fought precincts and counties in the hope of grinding out a victory.
It is precisely the divisive end to the election she accused Trump of planning when he said last month that he may not accept the result.
If her beyond-the-eleventh-hour tactic fails, Clinton is contemplating the ruins of her career, a promise of a full-scale investigation into her and Bill's charity and personal riches by a special prosecutor, and the Democrats locked out of not just the White House but both houses of Congress.
There will be a Republican lock on the Supreme Court which could last a generation.

Massa; to me whether pastor Owusu Bempah predicted Trump's election victory is neither here nor there because the writing was on the wall besides all the people who voted for Hilary Clinton were fulled and did not refer to history because the political prevailing situation in Europe and US regarding the influx of immigrants was a a BIG problem for citizens of many countries ; the BREXIT was an example because once race came on the agenda it was bound to be toxic ;the situation in the US was made even worse by the sitting President Obama who under his leadership saw the rise in the murder of Black Americans and Obama did nothing ; he even failed to get his AG to put his fut down and prosecute these police men ; Black Americans were secretly outraged but kept quiet ; they knew there was a secret deal for Obama to push Hilary forward for the next Presidency and was therefore required to deliver the Black vote like today's deal between Jon Mahama and Mrs Osei to deliver Jon Mahamas vitory in 2016 but like the BREXIT ; the working class and uneducated rural folk in the US were not to be fulled ; they voted heavily against 'KROOKED HILARY'because this lady is the most secretive person you can get on the planet earth ; just like in Ghana ; Hilary and Bill Clinton had NOTHING before Bill Clinton became President ; they set up this foundation in which millions of dollars were channeled through just like the Lordina Foundation ; both of them are millionaires today ; how do you compare them Donald Trump a single handed business man who through hard work not politics made millions on his own ; there are some people in Jon Mahama's government who have never worked in their lifes but used politics to acquire illegal wealth ; look at Woyome and Jon Mahama ; was Jon Mahama and Lordina Mahama rich people before they came into politics -NO ; ttoday Jon Mahama have used poltics to acquire RICHES ALL OVER THE PLACE -TO ME JON MAHAMA SHOULD BE CALLED 'KROOKED JON MAHAMA AND SHOULD TO JAIL 'LIKE KROOKED HILARY CLINTON !!!!!!!!!
Dont believe humans, believe the only one true God. Its God who select kings. UTV should reply owusu Bempah's prophesy to Ghanaians again. Its live on ***barred word*** if you care to know what he said.
eeeeeeeii where is T. B. Joshua? i tot he prophesy that Hillary Clinton will win because he saw it oooo....
I am not surprise, I knew trump will win. why, according to Illuminati game card trump will triumph but he will be the second president to be killed. Very soon Americans will start saying enough trump, enough, enough and this will lead to trump death as president. Trump becoming president was so clear, I did not understand why many prophet got it wrong.
