Piers Morgan simply wrote: "I had a feeling," alongside a video of him predicting Donald's win.

Jamie Lee Curtis was quick to weigh in with a lengthy message that began: "So the results are in," she wrote. "Many will be celebrating, possibly even gloating over their victory. Many will be stunned and sad with the terrible feelings of the loss. That is the same result despite who wins because that's what America and democracy looks like. Has always looked like."

Jamie — who supported Kamala — added that while it "means a sure return to a more restrictive, some fear draconian time," "what it really means is that we wake up and fight."

She concluded: "Be gentle with people today. Be gentle with yourself today. Feel your feelings today but most of all.....Be an American today."

One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush expressed her view by writing: “Great job giving the MAGA gang more power, America. Wonder how many folks are seeing this and STILL saying ‘But but but at least he’s not a Black woman!’ in the privacy of their homes tonight. My heart is broken."

Christina Applegate was also exasperated when she asked: “Why? Give me your reasons why????? My child is sobbing because her rights as a woman may be taken away. Why?And if you disagree , please unfollow me.” She continued in a separate post: “Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights. Against disability rights. Yeah that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal. Don’t want followers like this. So yeah. Done.”

British comedian Russell Brand is a Trump supporter and kept his message simple. "DONALD TRUMP WON," he wrote as he was inundated with comments from fellow supporters rejoicing.
