Miley Cyrus is as heartbroken as millions of other U.S citizens are after Donald Trump
won the 2016 presidential election. But unlike many of them, the former
Disney darling has accepted the 70-year-old's surprising victory.
Miley, who supported Hillary Clinton, posted on Twitter Wednesday, November 9 a
video
of her crying as she explained her decision and begged the new
president to treat people with love. "So, probably like most people -
well, maybe not, because given the result - maybe I really am different
and maybe a lot of people that I'm surrounded by think with
open minds and open hearts like I do," she said in front of the camera.
"And I do want to say that I've been very vocal for my support for
everyone besides Donald Trump. Heavily supported Bernie. Heavily
supported Hillary," she continued. "And I still think that in her
lifetime she deserves to be the first female president, and that's what
makes me so sad."
"I just wish that she had that opportunity because she fought for so
long and because I believe her when she says that she loves this
country," she shared. "This is all she's ever done. She's given her life
to make it better. But, like Donald Trump so ironically played after
his speech, it said, 'You can't always get what you want.' "
"And happy hippies, we adjust and we accept everyone for who they are.
And so Donald Trump, I accept you," she added. "And this hurts to say,
but I even accept you as the President of the United States, and that's
fine... because I think now I want to be hopeful."
She went on to thank Barack Obama for everything he'd done in the past
eight years and share an important message to Trump. "Please, please
just treat people with love and treat people with compassion and treat
people with respect, and I will do the same for you," she pleaded.
"And anyway, anything you ever want to talk about or understand, maybe
people that don't think the same way that you and some of the people
that support you do, please, if you want to open your mind and open your heart, I would love to give you a key," she said before concluding the video by telling Clinton, "Thank you, Hillary, for inspiring us."
