Hollywood Reacts to Donald Trump Winning the Presidency
The results are in and Donald Trump is the new President-elect of the United States.
Despite receiving numerous endorsements from A-list stars, including Beyoncé and Madonna, Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House came to an unexpected end early Wednesday morning.
As the election results poured in from the various states across the U.S., there was disbelief on social media from some of the biggest names in music, film and television, as well as some support for President-elect Trump.
See some of the reactions below:
This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated.

Some didn't like Bush. Some didn't like Obama. But this is different. Forget dislike. Many are genuinely fearful now. This is new.

We stand together. We stick up for the vulnerable. We challenge bigots. We don't let hate speech become normalised. We hold the line. https://t.co/ro9AkRSc9Q

I wonder when in American history were women truly celebrated, not as a wife mother or sister but as human capable of leadership & guidance

It wasn't all disdain, however. Some pro-Trump celebrities celebrated his victory:
Great faith in God works. Mr @realDonaldTrump I'm proud to call you President of the United States of America. And First Lady @MELANIATRUMP
