WASHINGTON - Donald Trump has lashed out at the millions of people who took to the streets to protest against his presidency.
Crowd estimates for the Women's March in Washington DC on Saturday topped one-million, while another 1.5 million were on the streets in Chicago, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and more than 600 other cities across America and the world.
The number of people in DC alone for the demonstration appeared to dwarf the number who lined the same streets on Friday for Trump's inauguration.
But that did not stop the Donald from taking aim at all those people in a tweet on Sunday morning.
'Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly,' he wrote.
But he then tried to backtrack on the remark, offering up a much softer message in a tweet sent more than an hour later.
'Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don't always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views,' he said. (Agencies)
