The US presidential elections have concluded. Republican candidate Donald Trump defeated the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and was elected US President once again.

According to the announced results, the Republicans will be represented by 294 delegates and the Democrats by 223 delegates in parliament in the new term.

Donald Trump's election as US President brought to mind the response İlber Ortaylı gave 3 months ago on a program he attended on 'Kafa TV' to the question, "What kind of world would it be with Trump in the American Presidency?", where he said, "It would be a boorish world."

HE HAD CALLED HIM IGNORANT

In 2019, Ortaylı had also commented on Trump, saying, "In terms of his worldview, Trump is an ignorant man. I won't even discuss it; these are a network that steals people's lives."
