While President Trump seems to have an infatuation with Twitter, tweeting practically every day, often 5, 10 or 15 times during the day, Twitter seems to be 
one of his biggest enemies this evening. Following an impromptu press conference late this afternoon in which the President once again seemed to shift blame for the violence this weekend in Charlottesville from white supremacists and Nazis to what he says was “many sides,” outrage was heard by Democrats and Republicans alike.
While political pundits and politicians on both the right and the left spoke out to criticize President Trump’s remarks this afternoon, David Duke, Richard Spencer and other well known white supremacists gave the President praise. Meanwhile, the hashtag #ImpeachTrump shot up to become the #1 trend on Twitter worldwide. According to Twitter, there were close to 60,000 tweets with that hashtag used within a short period of time, and as we publish this story it’s still the top trending phrase/hashtag on the entire social network.
Below are just a handful of some of the more popular tweets, which are using the hashtag this evening:

Threatening nuclear war. Attacking the free media. Defending white supremacists.
It’s not just embarrassing… It’s deadly.#ImpeachTrump

#ImpeachTrump because the children of this generation don’t deserve to grow up feeling like all of this is normal.
