As Britain awoke to Donald Trump becoming the next President of the United States of America, the world was reacting with shock and disbelief.
Celebrities and world leaders were united in expressing feelings of uncertainty for the future.
Gerard Araud, the French ambassador to Washington and a social media institution, tweeted his dismay at a collapsing world order, then appeared to delete his tweet.
"Après Brexit et cette élection, tout est désormais possible. Un monde s'effondre devant nos yeux. Un vertige," he wrote, which translates as "After Brexit and this election, anything is now possible. A world is collapsing before our eyes. Dizziness" in English.
Singer Cher wrote that the "world will never be the same" in the event of a Trump victory, adding: "Sad for the young. Will never be more than the toilet."
Another Brit, Lily Allen, tweeted that neighbouring Canada had "better build a wall".
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane tweeted: "I truly cannot visualize the rambling, incoherent creature I saw at the debates now addressing the nation from the Oval Office."
Some didn't like Bush. Some didn't like Obama. But this is different. Forget dislike. Many are genuinely fearful now. This is new.
Actress Jessica Chastain wrote: "The positive element from all this is that we can no longer pretend that we are free of racism and sexism. The question is, what do we do now?"
Ex-American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson said: "I have never been more nervous/scared in my life."
Despite the groundswell of negative reaction from around the world, there was also plenty of support for Trump's victory.

by the 'united states' from before it was the 13 colonies to now as a gigantic cancer made out of satans' butt.
It would take an act of God to undo what they have done. Trump, like Reagan is at least funny.
Michelle Obama for president, 2020!
