This is Donald Trump's America, at least for anyone stood in the New York hotel room containing his most ardent supporters, Donald Trump's party and Donald Trump's bar. If you want a beer, you better be prepared to pay his prices.That's $11 for an imported beer, to be precise, $10 if you want a domestic beer, $13 for a glass of wine and $7 for the designated drivers relegated to soft drinks at his election night party.


Mr Trump has hired out the New York Hilton in Manhattan for what he preemptively branded his "victory party', with a cash bar in play.

Another eye-catching aspect of the function included a $7,000 sponge cake replica of a sombre looking Mr Trump which was wheeled in as proceedings got underway.

The chocolate cake was the result of 50 hours of work by Melissa Alt, a New Jersey-based baker who said she also made Hillary Clinton a cake.
