Washington: In a stunning result, billionaire businessman Donald Trump on Wednesday beat seasoned politician Hillary Clinton in the election, defying all odds to become the 45th United States President after starting off as a rank political outsider.
It was a heart-break for Democratic nominee Clinton, who was hoping to become the first woman president of the US, as Trump edged past her in a see-saw battle which he clinched by winning 288 electoral college votes to Clinton's 215 when reports last came in.
The 70-year-old business tycoon's strong showing in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Iowa and North Carolina helped him pull-off a win which proved most pollsters wrong.
However, Trump’s victory did not go well with most Clinton supporters who took to Twitter to express their rage and disgust.
Here's a compilation of the best tweets:
