US Presidential elections usually garner massive attention across the world. This year's election was also highly awaited as it would've resulted in either a comeback of Trump or the end of his political career.
Donald Trump has now won the Election 2024 as the Republican Party Nominee and is now the president-elect of the United States.
He is set to begin his second term on January 20, 2025.
Since the Election results are out, some of the Americans are experiencing mixed emotions, due to their different perspectives of how the Trump administration will work.
While many Democrats are trying to get over the Election Shock, a village in Sardinia, Italian Island is trying to grab an opportunity from it. It is offering homes to Americans upset by the US election results for 1 dollar, as per a report by CNN.
After decades of depopulation, Ollolai has been trying to persuade outsiders to move in and bring its fortunes to life.
The village has been selling dilapidated houses for as little as one euro which is just a little over a dollar.

According to a CNN report, After the November 5 results, it launched a website, directed at potential American expatriates, offering cheaper homes with the hope that people unhappy with the results will hurry to get over to one of its empty properties.
The website asks, "Are you worn out by global politics? Looking to embrace a more balanced lifestyle while securing new opportunities?"
"It's time to start building your European escape in the stunning paradise of Sardinia," it adds.
Mayor Francesco Columbu told CNN that the website was designed specifically to appeal to American voters following the presidential elections. He expressed his admiration for the United States and his belief that Americans are the ideal partners to help revitalize his community
"We just really want, and will focus on, Americans above all," Francesco Columbu says.
"We can't, of course, ban people from other countries from applying, but Americans will have a fast-track procedure. We are betting on them to help us revive the village; they are our winning card," he adds.
Alongside this Italian village, a cruise line is offering Americans dissatisfied with the results of the US election a four-year escape from the Trump administration. Through its "Skip Forward" program, travelers can explore over 425 ports in 140 countries.
