People (Malaysians Included) are Mourning Donald Trump's New Presidency

The whole world reacted strongly towards his win, with a vast majority of them clearly upset and fearing for their futures. Some concluded that the “American dream” was over. Some even compared his win to Hitler’s rise to power.

Hate wins. It's not that 1 man will be in White House, it's that millions of people put him there. That's why this is so ugly #ElectionNight

I am heartbroken tonight. The American Dream only exists for men in my country. #ElectionNight

Britons, who previously had their fair share of political instabilitly following Brexit, also expressed their disappointment via Twitter.

as a brit, america has always been presented as a land of opportunity; a super-power to be respected. i can't respect this. what have u done

Brexit part deux. This is petrifying.

I think what's saddest of all is that, like Brexit, inciting hatred is the way to win votes. Become as poisonous as possible and you'll win.

It seems that a large number of Malaysians have expressed interest in the US elections. Most of them are quite saddened with the news of Trump's new presidency.

Kesian orang US, tak ada pilihan yang bagus.Kita lagi kesian, langsung tak ada pilihan.

Malaysian songstress, Yuna, who is currently based in the States was also affected by the election. Fans flocked her Twitter account urging her to "stay strong" and come "back home".

Looks like we have to work harder to promote love, respect, understanding & equality.

Well, whatever happens, we hope Americans (and the rest of the world) will eventually accept that Donald Trump will be running America for the next few years.
