» It's official: Donald Trump -- real-estate tycoon and producer of the American reality TV show The Apprentice -- will become the 45th president of the United States. Even over a week after the election results were announced, America is still in turmoil, with protests (and in some cases even riots) by people who disapprove of Trump and his disturbing campaign rhetoric breaking out all across the country. Along with news of these protests comes alarming reports of a spiked increase in racist and discriminatory crimes being committed, as Trump supporters of varying ages and genders come out to express their pent-up bigotry.
