The University of Michigan's distressed students were provided with Play-Doh and coloring books, as they sought comfort and distraction. A University of Michigan professor postponed an exam after many students complained about their "serious stress" over the election results.

Cornell University held a campuswide "cry-in," with officials handing out tissues and hot chocolate.

"I'm looking into flights back to Bangladesh right now so I can remove myself before Trump repatriates me."

The Trump reelection strategy is working perfectly.
