Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's lead in the United States elections has come across as a surprise to many across the world. Trump is leading the electoral votes by 232 winning major states, while the Democratic candidate currently stands at 209 votes.
For many, Trump winning major number of states is unbelievable and people have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment with the election results and Americans.
Trump has won three big states North Carolina, Ohio and Florida. The news of Trump's lead has led to a huge fall in international markets across the globe. Many are calling it another Brexit.
Here are some of the reactions by users on the popular networking site:
This is what's terrifying: Even if Clinton wins, there are SO MANY people willing to vote for a bigoted imbecile. This is not my country. https://t.co/5wlgxi3viS
