Trump Is President. Philly Social Media Reacts.
We told you, but in case you somehow missed it: Donald J. Trump is now president of the United States.
I did a brief scan of Twitter and picked out some of the ones I liked.

Some found some symbolism in the weather.
Fitting that it started raining in Philly just as he's getting sworn in.

Others just got discouraged.
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone

Good God!

Trump’s speech had a fan, though, in one local sports anchor.
