Donald Trump defied many polls by winning the election to become the nation's 45th president in the early morning honors of Wednesday. The 70-year-old celebrity businessman defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. As a result, a lot of Americans woke up Wednesday morning to a new and unexpected reality.
The Sixers were criticized the past three seasons for tanking, in hopes the failure would lead to success by collecting high draft picks. Through it all, they had the slogan, "Trust The Process."
Several celebrities have said they would move out of the country if Trump was elected president. Embiid, who is from Cameroon, had a message for folks looking to leave the United States even before the results were finalized.
He tweeted: "We're all From Africa and will welcome you back."
