Donald Trump will be the next US President. From Washington, Emily Tamkin reflects on an election that felt like a shock to the system – even if the result is not wildly different to what we anticipated at the start of the year. So, what happened? And where did the Democrats' campaign to prevent Trump 2.0 go astray? From Cairo and London, Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton give the international perspective on how Trump's return will impact geopolitics and macroeconomics, not to mention the fragile state of democracies.
