A few bettors hedged their bets, as smart gamblers often do. The odds were good. The real upshot is that no one in any European nation can believe the US elected as president a person as awful as The Big Cheeto. Not since Silvio Berlusconi has Europe seen such a clown on center stage, and that was Italy, after all. Remember the Mafiosi garbage strike? Remember the call girl getting the cabinet job? Remember, Russia filmed Trump's romp with a roomful of prostitutes. Obama had his shovel ready jobs, which actually existed but Congress killed; Trump has his bacchanalia on film, which is blackmail ready. This is something that Justice and the FBI need to get a fix on.
