A light-hearted take on the US Election results

A light-hearted take on the US Election results

I'm pretty certain most people were relatively surprised when they woke up this morning to realise that The Donald had, in fact, successfully secured his place in American history and the keys to the White House.

Now, it would have been easy to write a rant or a lament on the US Election results but - bearing in mind that Scotland Now is part of the Media Scotland portfolio - I decided to take a more humorous approach to the result.

After all, 15,000 Americans are alleged to have voted for Harambe.

So, given that Scotland Now is for ex-pats and Americans interested in Scottish culture, I decided to throw open our doors and invite those disgruntled by Clinton's defeat to come and live here.

We aren't building a wall.

In less than an hour, this post has had over 2,200 shares and is performing well on our social media channels (over 41k reach on Facebook and 1,400 re-tweets through Scotland Now alone) and our internal Chartbeat.
