Donald Trump has won the 2024 US presidential election, securing a second term as president.

Telegraph readers reacted in droves, with many discussing what a Trump victory means for not only the US but the UK.

‘A much-needed kick up the backside’

Most readers view the result as a successful turnaround and a win for the war on woke.

“Time for the woke, delusional West to get a much-needed kick up the backside, including us,” Rohan L remarks.

Likewise, another anonymous reader hopes the Trump win will see a “dying down of identity politics peddled by the Left”.

They add: “Americans who aren’t indoctrinated to obsess over race and gender want the country to be led well with sound economic policy.”

Jonathan Phillips hopes Trump “keeps his promises to take action against the anti-Semitism on college campuses, backing Israel in its fight against Islamic terror and reversing the damage done by the woke, Left-wing liberal rubbish”.

Yvonne Osprey weighs in: “Turns out Americans like capitalism, economic freedoms, personal responsibility, and think aspiration and the American dream of personal entrepreneurship is still key, no matter who is promoting it.”
