In a move which had Twitter users falling all over themselves this week, president-elect, Donald Trump, only went and thanked himself for what he considers a job well done.

Referring to a recent statistic, the billionaire business tycoon wrote: "The U.S. Consumer Confidence Index for December surged nearly four points to 113.7, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN 15 YEARS! Thanks Donald!"

That's right – he actually wrote 'Thanks Donald'.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter have wasted no time ripping it out of Trump, and frankly they're doing an amazing job.

We'll let them take it from here…

It's official. The Electoral College of America has conclusively voted in Donald J Trump as the president of the United States. 

Trump successfully surpassed the 270 electoral votes he needed to become president.

The Electoral College is a method used in the US to ensure that smaller states with a lower population carry an equal weight in the voting, which is what caused Trump to win the presidency despite political rival Hillary Clinton securing over 2.8 million more votes.

Trump's November 9 win came as a shock to those who firmly believed Hillary would win, and ended one of the most divisive political debates in American history. 

Anti-Trump protestors rallied outside the The Electoral College house chambers and chanted “save our democracy."

Hillary has secured 166 votes so far. 

The results of the vote will be officially be declared on January 6.

Did Trump just make the ultimate Freudian slip?

The President-elect, Donald J Trump, is known for his penchant for a 140-character update, but today the POTUS made one spelling error that his detractors won't soon forget.

In a tweet regarding China's alleged theft of a US research drone, the president described the event as "un-presidented" rather than unprecedented. 

As expected, Twitter erupted with comments about how "un-presidented" Trump is, and basically gave the POTUS a good slagging.

Some Trump haters took the opportunity to point out that they felt that a man who cannot spell is not fit to be the president.

Even the Merriam-Webster dictionary couldn't resist getting a dig in at the divisive president.

The tweet was swiftly removed and amended, but not before the hashtag  #unpresidented started trending.

We don't think his cynics will be forgetting this one anytime soon.

A staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, John Legend was understandably unimpressed by Kanye West's decision to meet with President-Elect Donald Trump in recent days.

The unprecedented meeting, which made headlines around the world, didn't sit easy with the All Of Me singer who questioned both parties' motivation.

Speaking to French media outlet Clique, John feared his long-time friend and colleague had been used by the Trump camp, saying: "I don't think it's impossible to talk to him about issues, but I won't be used as a publicity stunt."

"I think Kanye was a publicity stunt," he said when asked about the meeting which has apparently accelerated Kanye's future presidential bid.

While John was reluctant to discuss Kanye's recent hospitalisation out of respect for the father-of-two, he didn't adopt the same approach when it came to Kanye's political stance.

"I'm pretty disappointed with Kanye that he says he would have voted for Trump. I think Trump has been corrosive, his message has been corrosive to the country."

"I think the things he has promised to do have been very concerning for a lot of people, and for Kanye to support that message is very disappointing." John added.

Fair enough.

When Kanye West walked out of Trump Tower with Donald himself yesterday, it's safe to say the whole world exhaled a big 'WTF?'.

In the clip which was posted on CNN, Donald says that he and the rapper have been friends for years, yet for the most part, Kanye kept his mouth closed in front of the cameras.

The dad-of-two has been active on social media since the meeting, and as it turns out Donald gave a present to Kanye during their time together.

Taking to Twitter, Mr West shared an image of Trump's TIME magazine cover which Donald signed, "To Kanye, you are a great friend. Thanks," along with his illegible signature.

One Twitter user commented on the pic, "RIP your career."

How weird.

We don't even know where to start with this one, but it's definitely something you need to see… just for how weird it is.

Graphic designer Michal Kruthamer created an Instagram account where she superimposes Donald Trump's head onto the Queen of England's body.

It's creepy. It's weird. It's laughable and it's totally mind boggling… But we can not stop scrolling.

Enjoy ladies (we'd have a glass of wine if we were you):

So, as we were wandering through the Internet just now, we spotted CNN post a video on Twitter of Kanye West outside Trump Tower in New York WITH Donald himself.

The press began to ask him questions, such as, will he be running for president in 2020, to which Kanye just gives an awkward stare.

He's then asked if he's going to perform at Trump's inauguration, and Kanye just replies, "I just want to take a picture right now."

Kanye appeared with Kris Jenner's boyfriend, Corey Gamble, who is seen as Donald bids farewell to Kanye.

The president-elect says at the start that he and Kanye have been friends for a very long time… but we have to say, we have a lot of questions about this one.

A bit strange considering the dad-of-two is just out of hospital, but  sure, to each their own, right?

And breatheeee.

President-elect Donald Trump put the worry into students everywhere when he said he wanted to abolish the J1 Visa programme for Irish students, but you can now let out a huge sigh of relief as it has been extended for another three years.

Even though when Trump goes into office he has the power to repeal this decision, it is said to be welcomed by both the Irish and American governments.

HOWEVER, there's one major catch. If you're planning to go during your summer holidays, there could be major setbacks as the extension, so far, does not include the 90-day Visa.

It only relates to the 12-month Visa.

Donald has removed his views about the J1 on his website and his latest policy on immigration, so don't worry, there's still hope.

Well, it's safe to say Enda Kenny isn't the most popular among the Irish people at the moment.

After congratulating Donald Trump on his presidential victory on behalf of the people of Ireland, Enda angered many of us, as we, in no way, wanted to wish Trump well.

However, now the Taoiseach has met with Vice-President-elect Mike Pence and praised him for knowing about "our issues."

After Mr Kenny met with Mike, he took to Twitter to praise the new VP.

"Had a really good conversation tonight with US VP Elect Mike Pence. He certainly knows Ireland and the issues that matter to our people."

Many were shocked and confused by this, and took to Twitter to vent their views:

Kanye West shocked fans when he revealed that he supported Donald Trump in the recent American presidential election.

The Grammy Award winning rapper made the revelation while performing at his Saint Pablo tour in San Jose.

“I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would have voted, I would have voted Trump" said the controversial star, in a video uploaded by a concert attendee.

One fan live Tweeted Kanye's alleged 40 minute political preaching.

Kanye "is glad Trump inspired racists to reveal themselves." "This is the beginning," said the rapper. 

Kanye also reportedly reiterated his ambitions to run for president in the 2020 elections.

"Rappers are the philosophers of our now, celebrities are the influencers of our now, just look at the president, he wasn't in politics and won," said the star. 

Most Hollywood A-listers, such a George Clooney, Beyonce and Kendall Jenner were resoundingly in support of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Kanye also shared his opinions about the Clinton campaign over several speeches during the concert, and said that he "loved" Trump's debate style.

One concert attendee reportedly threw something at the singer, who then threatened to cancel the show and asked: "Am I not allowed to have an opinion?"

"I'm a human being too, I have feelings, I liked the debates, Im a guy and a rapper, I'm a non political rebel, the debates were entertaining"

The rapper is said to have stopped multiple songs during the concert to continue discussing Trump's "genius." 

Never shy of ruffling a few feathers, the rapper then said that the Saint Pablo tour was a safe place for people all all political beliefs. 

The singer recently shared a piece of artwork of himself sitting in the Oval Room of the White House, reinforcing his intentions to run for president in the next elections.

From Miley Cyrus’ tears to Lady Gaga’s protest, Donald Trump’s election has elicited a variety of responses from Hollywood’s elite.

However, at this early stage, few stars have surmised America’s current political situation as eloquently as The Hunger Games’ Jennifer Lawrence.

In an open letter for Vice’s Broadly, the 26-year-old Kentucky native has encouraged US citizens to transform their current state of anger and fear into a form of hopeful resolution.

Surmising the feelings of those left marginalised by Trump’s rise to power, the Oscar-winner wrote: “Is this the stark reality?…This country was founded on immigration and today the only people that feel safe, that their rights are recognized and respected are white men.”

“I want to be positive; I want to support our democracy, but what can we take away from this?  It’s a genuine question that we all need to ask ourselves.”

As an outspoken opponent of the President-elect, Jennifer continued by offering seemingly modest solutions to the anxieties of her peers.

“If you’re worried about racial violence love your neighbour more than you’ve ever tried to before – no matter what they believe or who they voted for.”

“If you're afraid of a wall putting us all into another recession then organize and stand against it.”

“If you’re a woman and you’re worried that no matter how hard you work or how much you learn, there will always be a glass ceiling, then I don’t really know what to say.  I don’t know what I would tell my daughter if I were you.  Except to have hope.  To work for the future.”

The actress’ powerful letter finished by recognising that the current mood is apt, but suggested that those left disappointed by the election’s result must continue to strive for progress.

“We’re all allowed to be sad that the present isn’t what we thought it was.  But we mustn’t be defeated.  We will keep educating ourselves and working twice as hard as the man next to us because we know now that it is not fair.  It is not fair in the workplace, so you make it impossible to fail.  And like Hillary, it might not work.”

“But like Hillary, you can still be an inspiration and get important things done.  Do not let this defeat you – let this enrage you!  Let it motivate you!  Let this be the fire you didn't have before.  If you are an immigrant, if you are a person of colour, if you are LGBTQ+, if you are a woman – don't be afraid, be loud!”

Chat show hosts and stand-up comedians in the United States have been burdoned with what many would consider an insurmountable task this week.

In a week which will go down in American history for all the wrong reasons, the likes of Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have been relied upon to inject humour into the fact Donald J Trump yesterday became the 45th President of the United States.

But given the understandable anger, distress and frustration felt by millions of American citizens this week, it's not been easy… and yet, they've somehow managed it.

Take Jimmy Kimmel, for example, who acknowledged that for many of his viewers, Trump's election has instigated a process akin to mourning.

Taking that theme and running with it, the uber popular late night host talked his audience through the various stages of grief which he believes they are currently experiencing.

And despite the disheartening subject matter, Jimmy managed to offer up some serious LOLS.

Good man yourself, Jimbo.
