In the late hours of Tuesday night, news broke that Hillary Clinton had lost the presidential race.
The announcement of Donald Trump's newly obtained presidency left many people speechless.
To say the news was polarising would be an understatement of monumental proportions.
Trump is president. If you need me I'll be on the moon, watching the world destroy itself.
