Hollywood Reacts to Donald Trump’s Presidential Victory
The majority of Hollywood was with Her, but that wasn’t enough to put Hillary Clinton in the White House. And to say the entertainment community is disappointed that Donald Trump has been elected 45th president of the United States would be an understatement.
Sure, a few celebs such as Stephen Baldwin and Kirstie Alley were thrilled about Trump’s victory.
Soon the REAL work begins … to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain !
Proud to have been a part of such amazing history !!@realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/YDWANm2YEZ— Stephen Baldwin (@StephenBaldwin7) November 9, 2016
CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT TRUMP! @realDonaldTrump against all odds ..against the establishment and even against most from the GOP..U did it!

But most were having trouble grasping the concept that The Apprentice star will be the new leader of the free world. Clinton supporters flocked to Twitter and Instagram to voice their feelings regarding Campaign 2016. Some were angry, some were hopeful, and some did their best to find a little (dark) humor in the situation.

Watch the unemployment rate. Watch how bloated his budget will be. Watch what Russia does. Watch your rights disappear. https://t.co/VLJ988ogIu

She is clearly a better option. Trump is a vile, racist who got played by Putin. Watch what China does. Watch what N Korea does. https://t.co/9Yfj5koz9I

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

November 11, 05:21Y’all need to read this. This writer paints an ominous picture about how all these seemingly isolated incidents of divisiveness may be the signs of a new world disorder.

November 11, 07:26The last line from Mark Cuban though:
“No one is bigger than us all.”
Americans have been known to demand and protest for their rights, in courts and on the streets, and for public opinion to be heard. I just hope they’d still do that, and with more resilience this time around.
But then again, if they were about to still vote him in despite when it seemed that majority of the people weren’t ‘with Him’, it shows a lot of them might just stand for what he stands for.

November 11, 11:58Exactly. I feel like Americans are the most hypocritical beings on the face of the earth. Even more than we, Nigerians.
If everyone is crying and wailing, then who voted Trump in?!
