MANILA, Philippines – Only time will tell what a Trump presidency would really mean for the United States, but it seems some believe it is all over for the land of the free.
After Republican candidate Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2016 presidential election, two hashtags trended on Twitter which showed that netizens think the end for America is nigh.
The tweets lament Trump's win, saying his presidency spells disaster and means that Americans have voted for a candidate with the wrong values.
