Donald Trump hugged and thanked his “bestselling author” wife Melania as the Republican announced victory in the US election.

Trump made the statement even though ballots were still being counted in some swing states.

At his campaign party on Wednesday (November 6) in Palm Beach, Trump said: “I want to thank my beautiful wife Melania, First Lady, who has the best-selling book in the country, can you believe that?”

“She has done a great job and works very hard to help people.”
