About two million people are thought to have marched across the world in protest of Donald Trump becoming America's 45th President.

And more than one million people marched in Washington DC alone, more than the total live audience who watched President Trump sworn in.

But in a blistering attack on the protesters and celebrities who spoke out, Mr Trump tweeted: "Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly."

But 90 minutes later, another, more measured tweet appeared on his personal account.

It read: "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."

A number of celebrities joined protestors in the US capital on Saturday, incuding actresses America Ferrera, Ashley Judd and Scarlett Johansson.

But it was pop star Madonna who caused the most consternation amongst Trump supporters, after she claimed to have tought about "blowing up the White House" during a profanity-strewn speech.

The singer said: "Good didn’t win this election, but good will win in the end. So what today means is that we are far from the end. Today marks the beginning of our story.

"The revolution starts here. The fight for the right to be free, to be who we are, to be equal. Let’s march together through this darkness and with each step know that we are not afraid, that we are not alone, that we will not back down."

The icon added: ”And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything, f*** you!"

Other famous figures lining up to condemn Trump was filmaker Michael Moore, who launched into a furious tirade calling for demonstrators to take over the Democrat party to challenge the Republican adminsitration.


Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron was seen in tears as she led protests through the city's Main Street.

In Los Angeles, Hollywood A-Lister Jane Fonda was seen lifting a placard emblazoned with “Rise Against Trump”, condemning his chief advisors as “promoters of homelessness”, a “czar of disease and death” and the “grand master harasser”.

Police and demonstrators clash in downtown Washington after a limo was set on fire.

Following yesterday's protests, which dwarfed his own inauguration audience, President Trump and his spokesman Sean Spicer launched an extraordinary attack on the media's 'false reporting' of the ceremony.

Despite all photgraphic and video evidence to the contrary, The 70-year-old President said the crowds “went all the way back to the Washington Monument”.

He described the reporting as “shameful” and threatened a “big price” would be paid by reporters who allegedly lied about the numbers attending.

Mr Trump said: "We had a massive field of people, you saw them – packed. I get up this morning, I turn on one of the networks and they show an empty field.

"I said 'wait a minute, I made a speech', I looked out the field was, it looked like a million, a million and a half people, they showed a field where there were practically nobody standing.

The new president’s spokesman Sean Spicer insisted his was “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration – period”.
