How the world has reacted to Donald Trump’s tantrums over US election result
The world has reacted with humour and disdain to Donald Trump’s tantrums, refusing to concede his presidency with these newspaper front pages.
Donald Trump hates a critical headline so he won’t be happy about the front pages being shared around the world.
Newspapers have reacted with humour and disdain to Mr Trump’s tantrums on the US election result, with Joe Biden claiming victory.
As Mr Trump continues to insist votes were fraudulent and rigged, the media is having a grand old time getting creative to document his hissy fit.
Even members of Mr Trump’s own family and his wife Melania are reportedly trying to convince him to concede.

Around the world newspapers have been just as rough, with people on social media commending them for their coverage or poking fun at Mr Trump by sharing the front pages on Twitter.
The Metro in the UK went with “Trump the grump” while several other outlets chose to run photos of Mr Trump pouting and looking glum.
As expected, many went with his infamous, “You’re fired” line from his time as the star of The Apprentice.

Others have been more subdued with their coverage, with The Daily Telegraph in the UK simply running the headline ‘Pressure grows on Trump to go quietly’.
Many readers have noticed that some outlets have been quick to move on or are allocating news about Mr Trump’s reaction further back in the newspaper.

Some former editors have used the news as on opportunity to share old front pages, particularly Jeff Jarvis who was the Sunday editor of the New York Daily News.
He shared pages from a paper 30 years ago that labelled Mr Trump a “has-been”.
Almost exactly 30 years ago, when I was Sunday editor of the New York Daily News, I made this front page. @realDonaldTrump was pissed and called the publisher to yell. I called it early.

Covering the actual result, German news magazine Der Spiegel recreated its controversial cover with Mr Trump in 2017 holding the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty.
The new cover was done by the same artist showing Mr Biden putting Lady Liberty’s head back in place alongside Mr Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again”.
“My new cover for Der Spiegel, Lady Liberty is back together. Thanks for following my work for the past four years,” Cuban-American artist Edel Rodriguez tweeted.
Der Spiegel editor-in-chief Barbara Hans said cover was one of two prepared for Saturday’s magazine as they awaited results, with the other showing Mr Trump loading a rifle in a barricaded up Oval Office and reading “the squatter”.
