Donald Trump will watch the results of the tightest US election in recent history from Trump Tower, he has revealed.

The controversial Republican candidate will find out whether he will become the 45th president of America surrounded by family and friends inside the skyscraper, he said on Twitter.

He wrote: “I will be watching the election results from Trump Tower in Manhattan with my family and friends. Very exciting!”

He later urged supporters to “keep voting”, adding: “Don't let up, keep getting out to vote - this election is FAR FROM OVER! We are doing well but there is much time left. GO FLORIDA!”

Images emerged earlier today of armed police standing guard outside the hotel.
