All the major US outlets have reported that former President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate in the election for the 47th president of the United States, won the Presidential race in 2024. After a neck-and-neck battle in the polls with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump ultimately seized the victory, securing his reentry to the White House.

Although many anticipated the results, Korean netizens gathered to share their thoughts on the latest U.S. presidential election results with most expressing lament and concern. They commented: 

"Nothing drastic will happen to the U.S. immediately, of course. But our country is really in trouble. Even if we excel at diplomacy, it might not be enough… do you really think we can pull it off?"

"Wow, the US has more male incels than I thought they would."

"I don't know how the US and Korea could elect such people as Presidents."

"Can't believe the conman conned so many gullible people again."

"Europe is already talking about imposing tariffs; we should keep an eye on them first. It seems like things are going to get tough worldwide."

"The U.S. won't have any issues; it’s our problem. And in a country that went through the Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye administrations and then elected Yoon… who are we to criticize?"

"There’s nothing bad for Americans here, haha. It’s just that other countries will suffer."

"America is done too."

"Why did this come out so fast?"

"This is f*cked up."

"Oh My..."

"Sigh, both Korea and the U.S. are really suffering from a lack of competent leaders. North Korea must be thrilled, haha. It looks like Korea and Japan are heading for ruin… and China too."

"We're all going down..."

"Didn't those democrats learn last time like with Hillary Clinton? Misogyny runs deep in America, many won't vote for a woman."

"America's allies won't like this but Putin and Kim Jong Un will, I wonder why."

"Please tell me this is all just a dream..."

"I didn’t believe it when people said the country was falling apart, but now, looking at how things are going – it was like this during Biden’s time too, and it’ll probably get even worse from now on..."

"How much will we lose… My head already hurts… sigh…"

"Trump is back so soon... lol"
