The references to Trump come after he made a shocking political comeback on November 5, collecting 277 Electoral College votes, leaving a red wave across the country.
The 78-year-old has already started shaping his second administration as Republicans will take full control of Congress with the trifecta of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives.
Trump’s victory has sparked a mix of emotions across countries as Democrats took to social media to protest his second term by boycotting men and donning blue armbands.
Even Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s daughter Caroline put her political stance on full display as she publicly disagreed with her father’s opinions and launched an attack on Trump.
