WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the November 8 election having achieved 304 electoral votes against Clinton’s 227 electoral votes.
"I was honored, very, very honored when I heard that President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton were coming today," Trump said during the inaugural luncheon after the ceremony in which he was sworn-in as the next US president.
