On Sunday night, a #TrumpResign hashtag campaign gathered momentum on Twitter, spurred on by actor George Takei and playwright and “House of Cards” creator Beau Willimon.

Willimon fired the opening salvos of the campaign on Sunday afternoon.

Even @realDonaldTrump must know he can't sustain the chaos he has wrought for another 3+ yrs. Save whatever face you have left. #TrumpResign pic.twitter.com/INbdgS1M6o — Beau Willimon (@BeauWillimon) August 20, 2017

Pretty soon the only thing @realDonaldTrump will have left to disband is his own presidency. #TrumpResign https://t.co/CGki7B1FU2 — Beau Willimon (@BeauWillimon) August 20, 2017

I guess @FoxNews is the new Reince Priebus. @BrietbartNews will be the favored child of state-run propaganda now that Bannon is back. https://t.co/jt1Kwspf3M — Beau Willimon (@BeauWillimon) August 20, 2017

This is not how gov't is supposed to work. When the country must be "saved" from the president. More efficient, less dangerous:#TrumpResign https://t.co/NQi1s2oO8X — Beau Willimon (@BeauWillimon) August 20, 2017

It's the Christian thing to do.

But even better for the country?

Takei joined in:

It's not a question of whether, but when. Join me to demand #TrumpResign. Let's return to arguing about the best way forward–without him. — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) August 21, 2017

He was joined by Seth Abramson:

Trump is unwell, unfit, bigoted, dishonest, corrupt, disloyal, and *dangerously* ignorant—he MUST resign. RETWEET if you agree. #TrumpResign pic.twitter.com/ainnRwUlVs — Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) August 21, 2017

And then a whole bunch of other people jumped in:

I would like to have a president who is not an embarrassment to this country and one that doesn't defend racists. #TrumpResign — Akiko ♍ (@Autumnchild68) August 21, 2017

I just want the Presidency to be boring again #TrumpResign — 🅰️NDREW WE🅱️ER (@noobfatherof1) August 21, 2017

Since Trump doesn't want to be the president for all Americans, then he shouldn't be the president for any American. #TrumpResign — Caroline O. (@RVAwonk) August 21, 2017

#TrumpResign@realDonaldTrump, you're a con man, a self absorbed, unstable, malignant narcissist, who lacks the ability to lead a nation. — ♀️ The Anti-Trump (@Im_TheAntiTrump) August 21, 2017

Wants respect, gives none. Wants loyalty, gives none. Wants love, gives none. Wants honor, shows none.#TrumpResign — J. Scott (@TatumJustin) August 21, 2017

As a naturalized American I feel less safe over the hate he stirred up towards immigrants. Been harassed in my own neighborhood #TrumpResign — Zerochance (@Zerochance09) August 21, 2017

I want a real president. #TrumpResign — S. River (@sriver96) August 21, 2017
