One week after Trump’s unforeseen victory, the grand majority of Americans have accepted Trump as the US president for the next four years but Clinton’s supporters firmly believe the republican candidate’s victory is illegitimate according to a new Washington Post-ABC News Poll.

Undoubtedly, this past days have been quite challenging for the democratic candidate especially after becoming the centre of attention of all newspapers. Clinton has been analysed meticulously by the media. She has been described as “inconsolable” by the Daily Mail or as “America’s Rahul Gandhi” by Quartz.

After reading the Metro, it is undeniable that they present Clinton as the true winner of the US election. Despite the lack of information and analysis in newspapers as the Metro or the Daily Mail, they clearly make the readers wonder who is the authentic winner. The Daily Mail stands out by the use of quotes by Clinton instead of providing relevant information.

The Telegraph seems to have forgotten about the democratic candidate and focussed on the actual president of the United States since Trump has become the centre of attention of the media. The Guardian has clearly shown Clinton as a strong leader but hasn’t shown any support towards her.

"Don't call Clinton a weak candidate:it took decades of scheming to beat her." Rebecca Solnit, the Guardian.
