US election: Clinton wanted to curl up after Trump win

Written by Teunis Felter

Hillary Clinton has laid bare her disappointment at her election defeat to Donald Trump in her first public appearance since she lost a week ago. The Democratic candidate said she had wanted to “curl up with a good book and never leave the house again”. But in a speech at a children’s charity she urged the audience to fight for American values and “never give up.” Mrs. Clinton won the popular vote but was beaten to the presidency in the all-important US electoral college.
