President Donald Trump was greeted with outrage on Twitter after returning to the White House from a day of golfing.
The hashtags #TraitorTrump, #TrumpTreason and #TraitorInChief all trended nationwide on Twitter on Saturday. The phrase "TRE45ON" also trended, with the letters "a" and "s" replaced by the number 45, as Trump is America's forty-fifth president.
