The 30-year-old singer could be seen standing atop a large sanitation truck next to the tower brandishing a banner which read “love trumps hate” after the election results were announced.
Gaga, who was a firm supporter of Hillary Clinton, was reported to be weeping backstage on election night at what had planned to be the Democrat candidate’s victory party. MSNBC political correspondent said a source said Gaga and Cher were crying behind the scenes.
Gaga has shared a photo of herself clutching on to the truck’s wing mirror outside Trump Tower, saying: “I want to live in a #CountryOfKindness where #LoveTrumpsHate”.
Gaga, who urged voters to get out and vote for “the kinder and braver Hillary”, expressed her sadness at the news of a Trump victory. She asked for America to “say a prayer” as votes for Mr Trump seeped in.
“In a room full of hope, we will be heard. @deray #blacklivesmatter Stand up for kindness, equality, and love. Nothing will stop us,” she wrote.
Fans have expressed their support for Gaga’s protest. “Lady Gaga is staging a protest against Donald Trump in New York City right now. That`s my girl. If only the girls could join her,” said one.
“Lady Gaga is not fighting for Hillary, she is fighting for her Country. Make your scream of protest louder than Trump`s voice!” said another.
Great swathes of America and the wider world have been jolted into shock since it emerged Mr Trump had defied expectations and won the presidential election.
