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. As the ballot results came in, the reactions from celebs turned from cautious optimism to bleak despair. Whether it was Kunal Nayyar lamenting on what Trump’s win could mean for him or TV show Black Mirror issuing a statement about the result, Hollywood has been very expressive.

The people at Netflix horror show Black Mirror just issued a clarification after Trump won:

This isn't an episode. This isn't marketing. This is reality.
