Cara Delevingne launched a furious tirade urging friends to inflict 'four years of hell' on Republicans as Donald Trump was elected President.

The supermodel, 32, led a legion of liberal luvvies in the UK including Paloma Faith and Dawn O'Porter, who shared their 'devastated' reactions as they woke to the news of Trump's election night victory.

Cara, who has a home in Los Angeles, sent out a defiant 'message to her friends' not to despair, but rather to focus on defeating Republicans, who she described as 'fascists, misogynists, bigots and liars'.

Her post said: 'A message to my friends: 'Trump will win the White House. The GOP has control of the Senate. This is gutting yes, but freeing too. We get to make every day over the next four years hell for fascists, misogynists, bigots and liars.

'This is not the time to shrink. Nor the time to despair. This is the time for that classic Disney, larger than life, kinda gay, impossibly well dressed, unbelievably cool villainy. That punk rock, black parade guerrilla s***. This is our villain era.

'Make art. F** s** up. Build power. They are about to learn the hardest thing about gaining power is keeping it.' 

Sharing a red-covered map of the United States, Dawn, who lived in the US for 16 years and is married to actor Chris O'Dowd, wrote: 'Feel like I'm going to cry for the rest of my life.' 

Underneath, she added: 'This is breaking my heart. After all that, still this.'

After hearing the news, Paloma Faith said the country would be saying goodbye to 'women's rights, liberalism and freedom of speech', adding: 'Hello racism, hello capitalism, hello climate change, hello war, hello end of days.'

Comparing the news to waiting for a sexual health screening test the day before, she said: 'Today feels like the whole country is waiting for an STD result.'

This morning she added another post, which read: 'Sadly the results came back positive.' 

Also sharing her anguish on social media was activist Livia Firth, who made her despair known as she wrote: 'What is a word bigger than heartache?'

She said: 'Agony anguish bitterness despair grief heartache pain remorse sorrow suffering torment woe. Strong matches. affliction bale care desolation distress heartsickness regret rue torture.'

While some were disappointed by the news, other celebs shared their support for Trump and celebrated him steaming towards victory. 

During the night, Victoria Baker-Harber shared a selfie of herself in bed sipping wine with the words 'world peace may just be one step closer' and pictures of Trump.

Hours later the former Made In Chelsea star shared a news headline that read 'Donald Trump will be president again', and 'yay!'.

Former Towie star Suzie Wells was also seemingly celebrating Trump, as she shared a video of supporter celebrating the win with the words: 'We’re sooooo back!!!!'

Trump took the stage and declared victory in the early hours of Wednesday morning, cementing an extraordinary political comeback.

Trump  pulled off an astounding political comeback and regained the White House after being declared the winner of the 2024 US presidential election.

He becomes the first president in over 130 years – and only the second in history – to win a non-consecutive second term.

'We made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is that we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible,' he said.

'And it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing.'

His defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris marks a remarkable return for a twice-impeached president, who left office in 2021 on the back of claims that he had incited an assault on the US Capitol building, and who was convicted earlier this year on multiple counts of business fraud.

The 78-year-old Trump will also become the oldest president ever inaugurated, beating President Joe Biden's record by five months.

He pulled off his remarkable victory on a night reminiscent of 2016, sweeping the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania. 

Associated Press called Wisconsin at 5.34am (ET) Wednesday and the race just three minutes later.  

Harris never conceded the race. Instead former Rep. Cedric Richmond - her campaign co-chair - said after midnight Wednesday that the vice president would not be addressing supporters until 'tomorrow'.

The pivotal moment came when North Carolina was called for Trump at 11:19pm (ET). 

Then, the quiet crowd at the official Republican watch party, held in a convention center in Florida's West Palm Beach, erupted in a release of nervous energy.

At the same time, the mood at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort – where he was sat amid friends and family watching the results roll in – switched from cautious optimism to 'a sense of destiny', one attendee said.

Later at the convention center in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Trump was joined on stage by his jubilant family and campaign staff, as he addressed his adoring fans and declared: 'We're going to help our country heal.'

'This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time,' he said. 'This is a magnificent victory for the American people, that will allow us to make America great again.'

Certainly, Trump's resounding win brings an end to a tumultuous 2024 campaign – punctuated with Biden's dramatic withdrawal from the race in July, as well as two shocking attempts on Trump's life.

But his inflammatory rhetoric and propensity for personal attacks means he will now lead a divided country that shows little sign of healing.

After announcing he would run again back in November 2022, Trump comfortably saw off other Republican hopefuls – including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley – to secure the Party nomination in March this year.

Entering the summer, he held a comfortable polling lead over President Biden, 81, whose record on the economy and immigration, as well as the obvious problem of his advancing age, were proving disastrous among voters. 

The now notorious CNN television debate between the two presumptive nominees on June 27 – in which Biden froze and mumbled, appearing unable to clearly answer even basic questions – only helped Trump further.

On July 13, while addressing crowds at rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the bullet of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks ripped through Trump's right ear. After being swarmed by Secret Service agents, Trump rose to his feet – his shoes missing and his face bloodied – pumping his fist in the air and shouting: 'Fight! Fight! Fight!' 

Just days later, he received a hero's welcome in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the Republican National Convention. 

MAGA fans donned mock bandages on their ears in solidarity with the former president and, in a stirring speech on the final night, Trump told a packed-out convention center that he would be a 'president for all of America'.
