Brilio.net/en -Donald Trump's victory in the recent US presidential electionwas met with mixed reactions from countries all over the world. In Indonesia, Deputy House Speaker Fadli Zon's move to congratulation the president-elect on his Twitteraccount seems to have backfired as the friendly gesture, posted along with a "wefie" of him and Trump himself, drew more criticism than support.

Netizens' reaction started flooding in as soon as he posted the tweet.

1. @fadlizon you support Defending Islam rally with @DPP_FPI, and yet now you bow before Donald Trump who is anti-Islam? You drunk?
