Lena Dunham says that she was so traumatized by Donald Trump's victory in the November election that she was sent into a 'psychotic rage' by the election.

In a conversation with comedian Samantha Bee for The Hollywood Reporter, Dunham - one of Hillary Clinton's celebrity surrogates - admitted to turning her anger at the result against other women.

'After the election, instead of rage at Donald Trump, I had, like, two weeks where all my rage was directed at every female movie star who never said anything,' she said. 'It was psychotic.'

She also said that she was invited to the Obamas' final White House party, but had to leave early because she couldn't stop herself from crying.

'Psychotic': Lena Dunham (left with Hillary Clinton in an Instagram post) told Samantha Bee (right with Barack Obama) that she was furious to female stars who didn't object to Trump

Surrogate: Dunham had acted as a surrogate for Clinton in the election. She said Obama leaving the White House left her in tears. She was interviewing Bee at the time

Dunham, who writes the HBO series Girls, was interviewing fellow Democrat Bee about her attitude to satire under the Trump administration when she made the remarks.

'Shame': Dunham said her boyfriend, musician Jack Antonoff (right), wanted to scream 'Shame!' in the faces of Ivanka and Jared Kushner

She said she calmed down after Jenni Konner, co-creator of Girls, told her to 'f******g chill out' and that 'the problem isn't female movie stars who didn't talk about Hillary Clinton'.

She also told Bee - who was nominally the interviewee - that while the Obamas enjoyed their farewell shindig, to which she was invited, she was in no such mood.

'They seemed to want to party,' she said. 'And I had to [leave] because I was like, "I can only cry."'

She also said that her musician boyfriend Jack Antonoff wanted to 'scream "shame"' in the faces of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

But the TV writer told him to drop the idea, saying that she felt 'he would look crazy, and they'd look cool. That's what we don't want.'

Dunham added that that the Trump presidency was 'sad and scary' and has 'a real terror' to it.

That was something Bee agreed with, saying: 'It's too much. There's too much to talk about. Everything is a potential tragedy.'

'Insane': Bee told Dunham that the Trump presidency was 'too much' and that 'everything is a potential tragedy'. She said it was 'insane' how often 'something terrible happens' under him

'Every time I turn my phone off, something terrible happens in the world,' added Bee, who was promoting her Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner special on April 29. 'It's insane.'

She added that had Clinton won, she would still have taken her to task, saying 'we don't see anyone as the messiah.

'It's not like she wouldn't have failures and make terrible mistakes and do things we wouldn't like.'

Bee and Dunham concluded by agreeing that they like it when 'teenage gay boys' thank them for their work.

'Gay teenage boys, that's who I want to connect to,' Dunham said. 'That's who I feel I am inside.'
