Amid a city of Hillary Clinton supporters, there is one place that is positively ecstatic about Donald Trump's election. Our Staten Island reporter Amanda Farinacci has the story.

Staten Island is often called a little slice of country in a very big city. That certainly seems the case after Donald Trump was elected President.

While Hillary Clinton beat Trump 76 percent to 16 percent across the five boroughs, the brash businessman easily won Staten Island — mirroring his victories across small-town America.

"I bought this shirt, just special for that day," said one Trump voter, showing off his shirt with the businessman's name. "When I know he won, next day, I wore the shirt. And that's it. I'm happy. And I am proud that he got in the White House."

There are more Democrats than Republicans on Staten Island, but in election after election, voters here cross party lines more than anywhere else in the city.

Trump's challenge to elites and the status quo resonated with a significant segment of borough's large population of blue-collar white voters..

Despite damaging disclosures about his views on women and immigrants, and a host of other controversies, that support never wavered here.

"He's all about the people, the country; he's a straight shooter," said another Trump voter. "He tells the truth, he tells it how it is."

Staten Island Democratic Assemblyman Matthew Titone has long been a Clinton supporter and says he is saddened by her loss. He argues his party underestimated Trump's popularity — especially how his message resonated with voters looking for change:

"From day one, conventional wisdom was out the window," Titione said. "And I think that not realizing that early on was a mistake — that conventional wisdom this election cycle was completely out the window."

Clinton won the heavily democratic North Shore, but Trump won Mid-Island and South Shore by a 3-to-1 ratio.

That led Trump to win Staten Island by 57 percent of voters to 43 percent of voters.

"I really feel like, if people were not necessarily voting for Trump, they were voting against Hillary," said one voter.

In the city's least-populated borough the result was a large Trump triumph.
