US elections 2016: Here's what celebrities are saying about president-elect Trump

Despite polling suggesting the precise opposite, Donald Trump has won the election and is going to be the next President of the United States. Unsurprisingly, as Hollywood was nearly unilaterally opposed to Trump, the entertainment community is not happy.
