Charlie Hebdo has responded to Donald Trump's election - and it's pulled no punches

The world holds its breath in anticipation of what a Donald Trump presidency will look like in the US, and how it will affect the rest of the world.

The controversial French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo weighed in on the Republican’s victory, and the artists, as usual, pulled no punches.

The cartoon reads:

Obama—an ordinary citizen once again.

It depicts a fearful Obama running away from two white police officers shooting. A burst of bullets surround him.

The white supremacist group, the Ku Klux Klan endorsed Trump’s presidency, and racially motivated incidents in the US have increased since the election.

It would appear that Charlie Hebdo's tongue-in-cheek criticism might hit rather uncomfortably close to home.
