'I'm one of the young voters who backed Donald Trump'

Brian Bodine says the US election result is "huge" for America

Figures suggest Donald Trump didn't have too much support from young voters in his US election win.

According to exit polls, over half of the 18 to 29-year-olds (55%) who were surveyed voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton, 37% backed Mr Trump.

Protests are continuing across America with people voicing anger and fear at the president-elect's comments about immigration, Muslims and women.

One voter has given us his views on why he could be "a great President".

Brian Bodine from the Texas Young Republican Federation says that at first he was "sceptical" of Donald Trump's campaign.

"I didn't like his speaking style and diction, but I've mostly gotten over that.

"As the months went by, his vision resonated with me more and more."

Protests have taken place in US cities every night since the result of the election.

It's something Brian said he understands but suggests Donald Trump can help ease the divide created by the election result.

"Millennials have most of their lives ahead of them and have the most at stake.

"Trump probably won't satisfy the fears nor lessen the hysteria of liberal college students, but he doesn't have to.

"They may chant and march about all day, but they shouldn't damage cars and property."

"It will take a strong leader to guide the country through what we are facing... I hope and believe Donald J. Trump is that leader."

Despite continued claims during the election campaign that he would build a wall on the border between Mexico and America, the president-elect hasn't mentioned the policy since winning the vote.

For Brian though, Donald Trump's views on foreign policy and national security are among the "most critical and vital issues facing the country" and helped earn his vote.

"We need to secure the border, deport most illegal migrants, and reassert the primacy of the United States in parts of the world where we have a national interest.

"We cannot afford to have a deteriorating relationship with the Russian Federation, and we should act decisively and quickly to destroy the Islamic State and other Islamist threats across the globe.

"Trump wins my vote on these issues alone, and unlike President Obama, he sees a greater sense of urgency."

Overall, Brian suggests Mr Trump's win sent "a powerful message to established politicians, struggling businesses, disenchanted blue-collar workers and tens of millions of people throughout the country".

"If he can accomplish even half of what he pledged to do during his campaign, it will be huge for the country and he will go down in history as a great President.
