Newspapers around the world react to President Trump

With the news breaking very early on Wednesday morning, Thursday was the first opportunity for global media to respond in full to the news that Republican Donald Trump would be the next president of the United States.

Trump held off the challenge of Democrat Hillary Clinton to win the race for the White House, sending markets into an early meltdown and causing widespread panic around the world, and as the dust settles, here are the reactions of some of the major newspapers of the world.

The Daily Mirror clearly believe that the election of Trump was a mistake on behalf of US citizens.

Interesting take from The Independent's online front page release, painting Trump as a 1984-style overseeing figure.

The Washington Post attempts to remain neutral, with as basic a headline as possible, a common theme among many US publications.

USA Today describes Trump's victory as a "stunning upset".

El Periodico in Spain is one of the more controversial front pages, with the headline "May God forgive America".

France's Liberation goes with a dark offering and an even darker headline.

The Advertiser in Australia has a quirky play-on-words based on the new president's most famous property.
