Yoko Ono Offers Her Response to Donald Trump's Election



Ever since Donald Trump was elected President of the United States earlier this week, countless people across the nation and world have had some strong reactions. Many of them are understandably quite negative. One of the most unique responses to this event is from Yoko Ono, who was married to the late John Lennon, a former Beatle.

On her Twitter account, she posted a message that read the following:

“Dear friends, I would like to share this message with you as my response to @realDonaldTrump.”

The message also contained a video (which can be found in the original message if you go through the link provided above) with audio of her doing her signature cat death wailing that she often did when collaborating with her late husband. While I've never been a fan of her music, I do kind of find humour in what she is doing and feel it suits the situation too. This whole election has made me feel like screaming too.

Incidentally, Ono lives not that far away from Trump Tower in New York. She still lives in the same apartment she shared with Lennon and is located just across Central Park from where Trump's sky scraper stands.
