Rosie O'Donnell is the latest celebrity to join the string of Hollywood lefties mourning Donald Trump's landmark election victory.
The comedian, and frequent Trump critic, took to TikTok Wednesday to share a video claiming she felt 'stunned and kinda numb' following his historic win.
Speaking to the camera in the five-minute-long rant, she said she was spending the evening watching Love Island Australia while attempting to avoid World News Tonight.
After explaining how she and her son Clay were sick with the flu, O'Donnell went on to say she woke up at 3am to the news of Trump's success before watching Harris' speech, 'which must have been very difficult'.
She recalled seeing Claire McCaskill crying on Deadline: White House with Nicole Wallace and 'so many touching videos from people today talking about how to take care of yourself when you're overwhelmed and stressed and scared.

His defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris marks a remarkable return for a twice-impeached president
'When fear seems to win you gotta go stronger into faith, that's what I believe,' she said with tears in her eyes.
O'Donnell expressed her sadness at the thought that the US is 'two halves instead of one whole,' saying the country is 'so divided' before dishing out self-help advice to those also mourning Trump's win.
'Get ready, because we're in for one hell of a ride with him at the helm and no immunity guardrails,' she continued.
O'Donnell went on to suggest getting 'rid of the Electoral College... it's the popular vote, that's what we need to do', despite Trump also winning the popular vote in his landslide victory.
He pulled off his remarkable victory on a night reminiscent of 2016, sweeping the key swing states of North Carolina , Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
But this not the first time the comedian has slammed Trump, however, as she lashed out in August, dubbing the then-former president a 'moron' as he spoke during his press conference on Thursday.
'Are you watching this moron speak?' O'Donnell said in the 30-seconds-long clip as Trump's voice could be heard in the background.
'Can he form a coherent sentence? He is the worst thing that ever happened—period. And he's just babbling like an incoherent a******. He's like [Marvel villain] Doctor Doom. He's the worst thing.'
After taking a brief pause in her rant to listen to Trump, the A League of Their Own star added: 'Oh, you know what, he just lies, lies, lies. I am done with Donald Trump. Let's be done with Donald, OK? Done with Donald'.
To reiterate her disdain for Trump, O'Donnell even captioned the post: 'DONALD IS DONE. #NEVERTRUMP'.
The 78-year-old Trump will also become the oldest president ever inaugurated, beating President Joe Biden's record by five months. (Pictured: Donald, wife Melania and their son Barron on stage in West Palm Beach as Trump delivered his victory speech on Tuesday night)

O'Donnell has joined a long list of celebrities who have long been vocal in their opposition to Donald Trump taking office, claiming: if Trump won, they were out.
The View's Whoopi Goldberg, a notable critic of Trump's political career, refused to acknowledge Trump by name on Wednesday's broadcast of the ABC chat show.
'He's the president,' Goldberg said. 'I'm still not going to say his name - that's not going to change.
Actress Raven-Symoné promised she would move to Canada with her family should Trump win.
She emphasized her seriousness on The View in 2016, saying, 'I already have my ticket. I literally bought my ticket, I swear.'
Jimmy Fallon jabbed that America 'got back together with its crazy ex' while Stephen Colbert hysterically admitted he's 'not doing great' as late night show hosts miserably went through their paces after Donald Trump had the last laugh at the polls.
Colbert posted a somber, direct-to-camera monologue and appeared beaten down by the results.
'If you watch this show regularly, I'm guessing you're not doing great. Me neither,' he said.
He then thanked everyone on his crew and tried to make the point that people who hated Trump were 'not alone.'
Colbert let the audience applaud Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for running their campaign.
He then called Trump 'a monstrous child surrounded by cowards and grifters.'
And it was reported earlier this week that America Ferrera, 40, is planning to relocate across the pond with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, and their son Sebastian, six, and daughter Lucia, four.
'America is sick that Donald Trump is President again,' an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. 'She is devastated that Kamala lost. She thought the country she lived in was better than that.'
They said the move does not mean that she is leaving Hollywood for good, as she wants to keep a 'presence' in the US for work and Latinas and women.
