New York, Nov 6 (IANS) : “We made history”, Donald Trump said on Wednesday, declaring
victory in the presidential election, staging a comeback against all odds. “This will truly be the golden age of America. That’s why this is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to
Make America great again,” he said at his West Palm Beach campaign headquarters. Fox News
Decision Desk, which analyses incoming counting data, had declared Trump the winner, while
