Folks, if you’ve just woken up we strongly suggest you roll over and go back to sleep.

In a move straight out of a bad horror movie, Donald Trump is mere inches away from being the next President of the United States. At the time of writing, Donald Trump is only 4 electoral votes away from securing the 270 needed for victory in the US election. He will be the 45th President of the United States of America. If that inescapable fact sends a chill down your spine, you are certainly not alone. Hundreds of millions of people around the world are fearful of what this could mean for geopolitics, trade, the environment, and numerous hotspots around the globe.

SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. #ElectionNight SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.

It has been reported that Trump is currently on his way to make a victory speech. Clinton has sent supporters home and will not make public comment today.

The Daily Show's Trevor Noah is employed to find levity and amusement in pretty much any situation, but on election night 2016, he was just as shocked as everyone else. Not quite lost for words, he was absolutely lacking in laughter. His short and sweet reaction to the breaking results echo the sentiments of many who are concerned about what President Trump could mean for the world...

"Er, this is it. The end of the Presidential race, and it feels like the end of the world. I'm not going to lie - I don't know if you've come to the right place for jokes tonight. "Because this is the first time throughout this entire race that I'm officially shitting my pants.  "I genuinely do not understand how America can be this disorganised or this hateful - I don't know which one it is..."

There was really nothing for @Trevornoah to joke about on tonight's live #ElectionNight @TheDailyShow: https://t.co/RmMoS0qHcE pic.twitter.com/YhULOADn3W

Directly as a result, the dollar has dropped sharply and the Canadian immigration website has crashed. A sign of things to come?
