Editorial: La Vanguardia

• Donald Trump has won the White House for the second time, with a wide margin and despite polls predicting an uncertain count.
• His victory was uncontestable, obtaining electoral votes in three of the seven border states, and winning the popular vote by nearly five million votes.
• Trump's victory reaffirms the role of tech companies, data analysis and social networks in the electoral campaign.
• His triumph may accelerate the existing erosion between the U.S. and the world, and the crisis of international legality, of multilateralism.
• The Democratic Party suffered a great defeat, evidencing poor planning of the campaign from the beginning.
• The U.S. enters a new stage away from democratic standards where democracy and the rule of law take a back seat.

Conclusion: Trump's triumph will mark a period of uncertainty and potential authoritarianism, affecting not only the U.S., but the world order. His victory reflects a change in American society that prioritizes a strong leader and security measures over democratic standards.
