Give this woman an Oscar, stat.
An anti-Trump protester has gone viral after being filmed screaming bloody murder as the new President took the oath of office.
ITV News captured the melodramatic moment Jessica Starr was seen shaking and crying — hands raised in the air as Mr Trump was sworn in.
On the line “Donald Trump is now President of the United States”, she falls back in agony and screams “NOOOOOOO!” as the camera zooms out.

As polarizing as the new leader is, not many people on social media were sympathizing with the over-the-top reaction:
A Twitter user called Godfrey Elfwick commented: On behalf of the rest of the internet, I would like to thank you for this gift. @itvnews
Another one, Robby Starbuck, said: @AngelpuppyD @itvnews I woke up my dogs because I burst out laughing so hard.
People also pointed out the hilarious split-second moment she opens her eyes, as though to make sure the camera is rolling before delivering the performance of a lifetime.

And people thought the memes would run dry in 2017. HA.
