Donald Trump's victory has been compared to the September 11 terrorist attacks by some people who are furious with the election result. Shortly after the Donald defeated Hillary Clinton to become President-elect, social media users began pointing out the symmetry in the dates on which the two incidents took place.


'On 9/11 a war began. On 11/9 that war ended. The terrorists won. Our country is now more like theirs,' writer Joshua Fialkov tweeted.

'In England the date is 9.11,' London-born rapper M.I.A wrote. 

'11/9 is the new 9/11,' another said.

'Worst day in America 9/11... 2nd worst day in America 11/9,' one person tweeted.

'It is eerie though that 11/9 is a mirror reflection of 9/11,' actor Dan Fogler added.

Film-maker Michael Moore chimed in, tweeting: 'Fahrenheit 11/9.' The message was a reference to Moore's critically-acclaimed documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11 - which explored the Bush administration's response to the September 11 attacks.
