（１）Donald Trump Is Elected President in Stunning（唖然とさせる） Repudiation（拒絶） of the Establishment
His surprise victory ended an erratic（常軌を逸した） and grievance-filled campaign that took direct aim at his own party and long-held ideals of American democracy.
（２）Donald Trump’s Victory Promises to Upend（衝撃を与える） the International Order
For the first time since World War II, Americans choose a president who pledged（誓約する） to reverse the internationalism practiced by both parties.
（３）Republicans, Buoyed（支える） by Trump’s Performance, Keep Control of Senate
Democrats picked up at least one seat but were finding others elusive, ensuring that they would remain in the minority of a fiercely（ひどく） divided chamber.
（４）Donald Trump Rode to Power in the Role of the Common Man
Often met with scoffing（嘲る） disdain（軽蔑） by wealthy elites and mainstream civic leaders, Mr. Trump delivered perhaps the greatest shock to the American political system in modern times.

● Donald Trump’s Victory Promises to Upend the International Order
By PETER BAKER NOV. 9, 2016
JERUSALEM — Donald J. Trump’s stunning election victory on Tuesday night rippled（波紋を起こす） way beyond the nation’s boundaries, upending（逆さになる） an international order that prevailed（普及する） for decades and raising profound（深刻な） questions about America’s place in the world. For the first time since before World War II, Americans chose a president who promised to reverse the internationalism practiced by predecessors of both parties and to build walls both physical and metaphorical（隠喩的に）.（従来の国際主義を止め、壁を築くと約束した大統領は初めてだ） Mr. Trump’s win foreshadowed（前兆となる） an America more focused on its own affairs while leaving the world to take care of itself. The outsider revolution that propelled him to power over the Washington establishment of both political parties also reflected a fundamental shift in international politics evidenced already this year by events like Britain’s referendum vote to leave the European Union. （英国のＥＵ離脱にも現れていたが、国際政治における本質的なシフトが起きている）Mr. Trump’s success could fuel（あおる） the populist, nativist, nationalist, closed-border movements already so evident in Europe and spreading to other parts of the world. Global markets fell after Tuesday’s election and many around the world scrambled（はいずり回る） to figure out what it might mean in parochial（偏狭な） terms. For Mexico, it seemed to presage（預言する） a new era of confrontation with its northern neighbor. For Europe and Asia, it could rewrite the rules of modern alliances, trade deals, and foreign aid（欧州とアジアにとっては、同盟、貿易、支援のルールが書きかえられるかも）. For the Middle East, it foreshadowed a possible alignment（連携） with Russia and fresh conflict with Iran（中東にとっては、ロシアとの連携の可能性とイランとの新たな紛争も）. “All bets are off,” said Agustín Barrios Gómez, a former congressman in Mexico and president of the Mexico Image Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting its reputation abroad. Crispin Blunt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee in Britain’s House of Commons, said, “We are plunged（不意に陥れる） into uncertainty and the unknown.” Many linked Mr. Trump’s victory to the British vote to exit the European Union and saw a broader unraveling of the modern international system. “After Brexit and this election, everything is now possible（これからは何でもありだ）,” Gérard Araud, the French ambassador to the United States, wrote on Twitter. “A world is collapsing before our eyes.”
