How did you feel when Donald Trump romped to victory in the presidential race Tuesday? Was it something along the lines of "oooaaarrrghhhhh ooooooooaa aarrggghhh blllaaargggh ...?"

If so, Yoko Ono feels -- and shares -- your pain.

The artist, activist and all-round eccentric hero shared a 19-second video to Twitter Friday of her issuing one long, guttural primal scream that's at once awful, strangely compelling and entirely hilarious.

"Dear friends, I would like to share this message with you as my response to @realDonaldTrump," she wrote by way of an explanation.

Ono's howl draws an odd sort of line under this awful week. Maybe next week will be better?
