Celebrities react to Donald Trump's presidential victory
Hillary Clinton had the support of the biggest names in show business and possibly the most votes overall, but Donald Trump's unprecedented movement to the Oval Office could not be stopped. He had an upset win in the Electoral College.
For Trump's own celebrity supporters, including Stephen Baldwin and Ted Nugent, his victory was met with congratulations and praise.

But for a larger swath of celebrities in the US and abroad — a number of whom even campaigned for Clinton — a Trump presidency has prompted them to express disbelief, fear, and rallying cries on social media.


From Lady Gaga to J.K. Rowling, here's how left-leaning stars reacted to Trump's victory:

I truly cannot visualize the rambling, incoherent creature I saw at the debates now addressing the nation from the Oval Office.

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.

The positive element from all this is that we can no longer pretend that we are free of racism & sexism. The question is, what do we do now?

I just want to remind everyone that we are looking at a very close race with a presidential candidate who was endorsed by the KKK.

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://twitter.com/malmal1012/status/796251369799696384 …
