We saw it first from Britain’s very own Piers Morgan, when earlier on in the morning he took to twitter to share his congrats to the presidential elect:
Congratulations to my friend @realDonaldTrump – an astonishing achievement. #President
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 9, 2016
He had sarcastically mentioned before about how the efforts of the Clinton campaign had not worked out. He said, “All those fawning self-interested celebrities really worked out for Hillary.”
Ironically Piers Morgan, who previously worked with Donald Trump in the apprentice, thought it could be a great opportunity for him to run for Prime Minister of Great Britain. Many are not sure which one could be worse: Kanye 2020, or Piers 2020.
I might have to run for British Prime Minister now so we can properly restore the Special Relationship. #PresidentTrump

Celebrities from all over showed their reactions to the results:
well this is utterly terrifying
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) November 9, 2016
Katy Perry, a prominent Clinton supporter, showed her deepest concerns in a series of tweets saying, “WE WILL NEVER BE SILENCED”, “THE REVOLUTION IS COMING”, “RISE UP”, “POWER TO THE PEOPLE”.
Lady Gaga, another Clinton supporter showed her reactions through social media as well. One included the following tweet, “In a room full of hope, we will be heard. Nothing can stop us. @iamderay #blacklivesmatter Stand up for kindness, equality, and love.”

Actor Chris Evans added: “This is an embarrassing night for America. We’ve let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We’ve let a bully set our course. I’m devastated.”
It is true to some extent that the amount of celebrities, columnists, politicians, etc that openly stated they will not support Donald Trump did not sway voters as much as expected. The fact of the matter is no reactions will change the reality that is a Trump Presidency.
Michael Vaughn could not have said it any clearer:
BREXIT happened .. Get over it .. TRUMP won .. Get over it .. The public have voted on both sides of the Pond .. #OnOn
