As protesters marched against Donald Trump in dozens of cities around the nation, users on Twitter also went on the offensive against the president.
Many were responding to his new attacks on the media over the weekend, at both an event in Washington and in a series of tweets where Trump went after CNN as well as MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
Many rallied around two variations of the same hashtag as both #25thAmendment and #25thAmendmentNow trended on Twitter on Sunday, referring to the provision in the Constitution that provides for the removal of a president.
Here are some of those tweets:
I hear talk of invoking 25th amendment is making DT furious. Hey DT, 25th amend. 25th amend. 25th amend. #25thAmendmentNow
— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) July 3, 2017
This tweet is evidence of mental deterioration. The President needs a psych evaluation. I mean that seriously and literally. #25thAmendment https://t.co/1w97stPB1e

Never a good sign for @POTUS when the 25th Amendment starts trending on Twitter. https://t.co/4qzi93IorD

A worse sign for @realDonaldTrump when #25thAmendmentNow is trending even higher than just 25th Amendment. https://t.co/CWZeLhcVKw

Trump's tweets encourage violence against media...NOT A JOKE. He must be held to a higher standard and needs to resign #25thAmendment

This is about a very sick man who would rather destroy our country than be exposed as the lifelong fraud he's always been#25thAmendmentNow

Not one investigation into Trump-his associates-his businesses-his family—involving Russia—has closed. Not one.#25thAmendmentNOW #Resist

Even my dog is asking why Trump is still in office #25thAmendmentNow

Trump serves up violent imagery just weeks after Scalise is shot - we must assume Trump wants to incite violence #25thAmendment https://t.co/K6ySCMu7vT

This is how grownups handle criticism. Particularly those elected to the highest office in this country. #25thAmendmentNow pic.twitter.com/CtTx5flXM6

Darrell Issa would be the first one calling for the #25thAmendmentNow if a Democratic President did half of what Trump is doing.

I'm sick of his violence incitement and deranged mentality. Children are watching & it's changing them for the worst. #25thAmendmentNow
— Michelle (@SoSofieFatale) July 2, 2017
The @vp and the cabinet of @realDonaldTrump need to invoke Article 4 of the 25th Amendment and remove him from office, today, or resign.
— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) July 2, 2017
Trump used the official POTUS account to call for violence against the press. Putin must be proud. #25thAmendmentNow pic.twitter.com/pxk55DYW8f

Dear World, Please don't judge us by the madman who's taken over our highest office. We'll fix this. Sincerely, -America #25thAmendment

So Cheeto Benito @realDonaldTrump doesn't like the number 25...#25thAmendmentNow #25thAmendment

You know it.
