Trump's campaign was also fueled by a massive social media presence. He used Twitter to bypass the traditional media and connect directly with his supporters. Trump's tweets were often inflammatory and divisive, but they also helped to build a sense of community among his followers.

The Deplorables

In the final months of the campaign, Hillary Clinton made a comment that would come to define Trump's supporters. She referred to them as "deplorables," saying that they were "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it." This comment only served to further energize Trump's base and helped to solidify his support among white working-class voters.

The deplorables were a diverse group of people, but they shared a common sense of alienation and disenfranchisement. They felt that the political system was rigged against them and that the country was no longer working for them. Trump's message of change and economic nationalism appealed to these voters, who saw him as someone who would fight for their interests.

The Election

The 2016 election was one of the closest in history. Trump won the Electoral College by a narrow margin, but he lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. This was the first time since 1888 that a president had won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote.

Trump's victory was due to a number of factors, including his strong support among white working-class voters, his use of social media, and Clinton's unpopularity. Clinton was seen as a polarizing figure, and many voters were turned off by her close ties to the Democratic establishment.

The Impact of Trump's Victory

Trump's victory has had a profound impact on American politics. He has appointed conservative judges to the Supreme Court, rolled back environmental regulations, and withdrawn the United States from the Paris climate agreement. He has also alienated many Americans with his divisive rhetoric and policies.

The 2016 election was a watershed moment in American history. It marked the end of the Obama era and the beginning of a new era of uncertainty and division. Only time will tell what the long-term impact of Trump's presidency will be.
