Twitterverse Lights Up with U.S. Reaction to Historic Presidential Election

(TNS) -- One of the wildest, most exhausting election seasons officially ended with the election of Donald Trump Tuesday night and reactions in North Texas have been mixed.

There are some people, like Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner, who may not be happy with the results, but have chosen to accept them. While he has been extremely outspoken against Trump throughout the election, he encouraged his followers on Twitter saying, “We all need to give President-Elect Trump a chance.”

Many people are disgusted, devastated and in denial using the hashtags #HesNotMyPresident and #ImStillWithHer, which are trending on Twitter in Dallas-Fort Worth early Wednesday.

In a silent protest against Trump being elected, some Twitter users are changing their profile pictures and headers to plain black while tweeting #twitterblackout.

On the other hand, many North Texans are waking up patriotic and proud after celebrating through the night using the hashtags #PresidentTrump and #MakeAmericaGreatAgain.

In Trump’s first words on Twitter as the nation’s newest leader he said, “Such a beautiful and important evening! The forgotten man and woman will never be forgotten again. We will all come together as never before.”

As of the time of this writing, Hillary Clinton had not spoken on the results publicly or on social media but was expected to speak sometime Wednesday morning. Her last tweet prior to her concession said, “Whatever happens tonight, thank you for everything.”
