The globally watched U.S. presidential election kicked off at 11:00 PM Taiwan time on November 8, featuring a fierce competition between the Democratic and Republican parties. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, who enjoys strong support and admiration from celebrities, pledged that if elected, she would devote herself fully to the role; on the other hand, Republican candidate Donald Trump, whose campaign has been highly controversial, has repeatedly sparked widespread social reactions due to his controversial remarks and behavior. The new resident of the White House is expected to deliver a victory speech at the New York election night party. Meanwhile, Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York has also entered a security control state on voting day and has become a popular attraction since the U.S. election began.

Trump Building (formerly known as the Bank of Manhattan Trust Building or the Manhattan Company Building), later renamed 40 Wall Street after its founders established Chase Manhattan Bank, is owned by real estate tycoon Trump,who purchased the building in 1995 for just $8 million.
