Donald Trump sent social media into a frenzy when he left the stage following his victory speech to the sound of the Rolling Stones' classic 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'.

The 1969 hit blared out after the controversial Republican candidate addressed the nation following his shock victory over Hillary Clinton in the US Election.

And the irony wasn't lost on many, with some describing the move as "unbelievable" and others praising the Trump camp for having having a sense of humour.

One Twitter user said the tune "couldn't be more apt", while another added: "Best part of the night was Trump walking off stage while 'you can't always get what you want' played behind him... Honestly hilarious."

Some also pointed out the Stones would not be pleased about the use of their song, with another man tweeting: "Doubt the Stones are happy about that."

The band have repeatedly told Trump not to use their music, but he has continued to defy them while on the campaign trail.

The group issued a statement in July stating in no uncertain terms that they are not fans of Trump, and they don’t appreciate being included on his campaign playlist.
