The most difficult part of this OP was deciding whether it belongs in Politics, Religion, or Science.....it has elements of each one.
Let's see....
1. 'Drawing upon biblical language, Abraham Lincoln described the Declaration of Independence as an “apple of gold,” and the Constitution as the “frame of silver” around it.' https://online.hillsdale.edu/document.doc?id=279
The reference to biblical language is appropriate today, as the victory of Donald Trump is nothing short of a modern-day miracle.
mir·a·cle
ˈmirək(ə)l/
noun
a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences.

2. How 'improbable'?
Well....let's let the science of statistics, subheading 'polling,' to tell us just how highly improbable or extraordinary:
a. " Based on the history of U.S. Presidential elections going back to 1980, Clinton’s lead looks formidable. In fact, according to FiveThirtyEight, the probability of Trump winning is now down to just 12.7%."
3 Unlikely Ways Donald Trump Could Win
b. Clinton has 90 percent chance of winning: Reuters/Ipsos States of the ...
Clinton has 90 percent chance of winning: Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation
c." MSNBC News:Scientist predicts 99% chance of Clinton win"
d. And this bit of wisdom from one of the board dunces, the day before the election:
"She's already won, you just don't know it yet."
Will You Vote For Survival, Or Vote For Death.
Yup....that improbable.
3. Donald Trump, the first true citizen-politician in my memory, had to fight the media, the talking heads, the Democrats/Liberals who control the popular culture- with a $ billion campaign budget, and even the party that....reluctantly....gave him the nomination.
And while there were a handful of intrepid souls who claimed to believe that he would win the presidency.....one had the sense that even those supporters were simply whistling past the graveyard.
How to explain this miracle?
Coming right up....
