See some of the best, the worst, and the most hilarious reactions here.
Whatever your political persuasion, it's hard not to be swept by the reactions following Trump's election win.
On Twitter #RIPAmerica began to quickly trend, displaying a variety of reactions from across the globe.
See some of the best here, and be warned: these tweets may contain anger, humour, hyperbole, and a lot of swearing.
Some Twitter users were remarkably stoic, or even positive about the result. However, most people weren't so happy. In fact they were downright disgusted by it.
I feel like the flags should be flown at half mast today #RIPAmerica
