If Trump were to win the election I would expect mass incredulity from the world’s media (as well as domestic media). What newspaper headline would you like to see in an international newspaper if Donnie J somehow wins on Tuesday? My top choice right now is:
"Wait… What???"
Mods, I guess this could be in a variety of different forums. IMHO was my best guess but I could also see MPSIMS, Elections, The BBQ Pit , Great Debates, or even The Game Room.
Ooooh! I’ve got another one:
"Trump Grabs Women By Pussy; America By the Balls"
Trump Wins; World’s Financial Markets In Nosedive
Just When You Thought Americans Couldn’t Get Any Dumber…
Ukranian newspapers: “We’re fucked”
Russian newspapers: “Rossia soon 3.8 % larger”
“Dewey Wins”
Meanwhile, domestically The New Yorker has a quite appropriate cover that applies both to evening-before and morning-after and perhaps both candidates.
Same headline The Onion used after 9/11: “Holy Fucking Shit!”
I didn’t know about that! That is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of when I started this thread.
Wouldn’t these be in foreign languages?

Usually, yes. But given our “Special Relationship” with the UK, their headlines (in English) would likely be some of the more interesting ones (along with Canadian, Aussie, and Kiwi ones).
I decided on international headlines instead of any headlines at all (including domestic U.S. heads) because as ridiculous and shameless as it might seem to most of us here, a Trump victory would not be played as being as shocking in the USA as it would in the rest of the world.
Still, go ahead and offer one up in a foreign language if you care to. Along with a translation, if you please.
From Japan: “Some of Our Best Friends are Korean!”
From China: “We’re Calling our Loans”
England: “Bloody Fookin’ Hell”
Америка избирает лидера, который нос вверх задницу Путина
*loses just a bit in translation.
IME, international headlines are typically rather sedate. As long as we’re talking respectable papers, and not rags like the Sun, it might be “Trump Wins in Shocking Outcome,” etc.
WTF?
From Canada: “We’re Euchered.”
A pun on Trump.

France: Croissant prix augmentés. De plus, l’Amérique fait quelque chose de stupide. . .encore.
I’m going to shuffle this one off to Elections from IMHO.
