Entertainment world reacts as Donald Trump closes in on US election win

Donald Trump is closing in on a second term as US President, with only one more state needed to give him the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory.

“This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again,” Trump told supporters as his victory over Democrat Kamala Harris became clear, adding: “This will truly be the golden age of America – that’s what we have to have.

The entertainment world has been reacting to the news, with Cardi B taking to Instagram and sharing a video with the caption: “I hate yall bad.”

Elon Musk, meanwhile, shared a photo of a rocket firing into space and wrote: “The future is gonna be fantastic.”

Quoting that tweet, writer Armando Iannucci said: “Musk reminding us that Trump’s near-total denial of the climate emergency means Earth is now on course to be completely fucked.”

Podcaster and right-wing commentator Joe Rogan, who had endorsed Trump during his campaign, also took to X/Twitter and said: “WHOLE. LEE. SHIT.”
