Well, it's official. Love him or hate him, Donald Trump has won the 2016 election and is slated to be the next president of the United States. While Hillary Clinton would have been the first female president, Trump also makes history, as he is the least qualified candidate to ever win the presidency first candidate without any previous political or military experience to be elected in to the Oval office -- and the oldest president ever sworn in for a first term.

After a number of shocking upsets in key states, Trump scored more than the necessary 270 electoral votes to win the election, but hours before that he was already celebrating at his campaign headquarters, as a number of projections showed him leading the election.

Clinton conceded to Trump in the early hours of Wednesday morning, and when Trump spoke at his victory party in New York, he was surprisingly gracious. "We owe (Clinton) a very major debt of gratitude to her for her service to our country," he said. "I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans."

Meanwhile, CNN pundit Van Jones, gave an emotional speech during election coverage on the news network, telling viewers, this was a "whitelash."


And a few hours later, President-elect Trump took to the stage at his headquarters in New York, and gave his acceptance speech:


A number of celebs took to social media to express their shock and dismay with the election results, but a handful of Trump supporters like Kirstie Alley and Stephen Baldwin also took to Twitter and Instagram to pipe up and share their thoughts.





















Meanwhile, in downtown Los Angeles, protestors took to the street to voice their opinion about Trump: "Not my president!"
