Jan. 22 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump reacted Sunday to the protests nationwide one day earlier that drew millions of people, wondering "Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly."

Trump posted the comments on his personal Twitter account.

"Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election!" the president tweeted.

In a later Tweet he commented on the efforts.

"Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy," he wrote. "Even if I don't always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views."

The protests nationwide highlighted women's causes and protested Trump's presidency.

At least 3 million participated in the marches, according to city officials and unofficial estimates reported by The Hill.

According to a Sisters March website, more than 5 million people around the world took to the street on all seven continents in 637 cities around the world.

The idea for the protests began as a Facebook post by a Hawaii grandmother the day after Hillary Clinton's loss in November's election....

Why didn't these people vote?

What a great quote. Very calculated. He knows that the ones that did vote, voted against him, but what he is saying is 'your power expired on Nov. 8/16'

It is a demoralizing quote for the marchers because it takes the supposed sting out of their objective.

The Democrat Party only believes in elections when it wins.

If they lose they believe in mob action.

Thanks for the FACTS!

I forgot all about the EcoWarriors gone south to watch the ice cap melting!

Did they wade ashore to plant the GreenPeace flag? Or just remain on the boat and not actually make it to Antarctica?
