The Clinton campaign included a vast array of high-profile celebrities and this had a lot of people believing it would be able to clinch her the prize as number one citizen of the United States of America, just like it did for outgoing president Barack Obama who also enjoyed much support from Hollywood. Many of these supporters have all come out to voice their displeasure at her loss.
While Trump can call on a couple of a A-list stars, most belong at the back of the alphabet. However, Clinton’s roster of celebrity endorsers reads like a who’s who of Tinsel Town.
The Republican once mocked the size of her showbiz supporters saying: “The only people enthusiastic about her campaign are Hollywood celebrities, in many cases celebrities that aren’t very hot anymore.”
The irony of this claim by President-elect Donald Trump is that a number of his celebrity backers could also be considered "not hot anymore".
Nevertheless, they along with millions of ordinary Americans, were enough to get him elected into the oval office.
Here is a list (not extensive) of celebrities who voted for Donald Trump:

have a woman problem... Yes, he's said things off the

just because he doesn't like Rosie O'Donnell, doesn't mean he hates all
women."

Vatican."

makes his support a little
less clear: "Trump is not a politician. He does not need your money, and

has no problem saying, 'F--- off.' I like
that. Even if I disagree."
