How the world's newspapers reacted to Trump's surprise win

Newspapers around the world have expressed their shock at Donald Trump's upset win in the US presidential election.

Trump's hometown rag, The New York Daily News, was one of his strongest critics and has showed its disapproval of his unlikely victory with a front page displaying a photo of the White House and upside-down US flag with the words "House of Horrors".

Sydney's Daily Telegraph also summed up the thoughts of many political observers in Australia and around the world with the simple but poignant headline: "W.T.F"

Other mastheads went for a less edgy approach but still focused on the narrative of the political outsider's surprise win.
