Pravda: "The Trump Tsunami: Where we stand, and what is to come"
"The sheer arrogance of the western media was demonstrated the day after the election when on Wednesday November 9 it became clear that Donald Trump had won. The front pages of the press and the screens of the TV media were festooned with gloom and doom headlines such as "Oh no!" or "Oh my God!", more befitting a crowd of drunken morons at a soccer match. This was not the case in the Russian media." Read the whole thing. http://www.pravdareport.com/opinion/columnists/15-11-2016/136173-trump_tsunami-0/
IRNA (Iran) - "Trump's uneasy road to change Washington's hedgemonic approach"
"On the international hotspots like Syria, Trump's declared stance is in sharp contrast to the policies of his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton. While Clinton called for establishing a no-fly zone in Syria and for creating strong leverages against Russia, Trump acknowledged that US is no longer capable of toppling President Bashar Assad and should join hand with Russia and Iran in fighting the terrorist group of Daesh (ISIS).
Trump repeatedly lambasted Clinton for blindly approving war in Iraq and military operations in Libya, accusing her of having bad judgment.
From this angle, we may interpret the result of the US vote as a big No from American people to Washington's long–standing hegemonic and meddling policies in the world which have worsened living conditions in the US on the expense of American tax payers."

Philippines - Manilla Bulletin: Improved ties with the U.S. seen
"Duterte's relationship with the US has soured due to criticisms against his bloody war on illegal drugs. He has repeatedly lashed out at outgoing US President Barack Obama and even told him once to "go to hell."
But following Trump's election as America’s 45th president, Duterte appeared to have softened his stance against the US.
"To the president-elect of the US, Donald Trump, congratulations. It was a well-deserved victory and you are the chosen leader of the most powerful country on earth," Duterte told reporters late Tuesday."
South Africa - Mzanzi live: "I will lock corrupt Zuma in jail" - Donald Trump
"Zuma has given the people of South Africa and the world enough troubles and its about time someone puts to an end all this madness for justice and equality to prevail, sad an unapologetic Trump.
I want to reiterate here before America that I will not condone any corrupt tendencies exhibited by leaders around the world, especially in Africa. Zuma must be put on notice that his days are numbered and that I am going to arrest them and lock him in prison. If the past American administrations have failed to stop him, I will personally do it"
