This morning, the Twitterverse was shaken by the disturbing noise of Donald Trump disrespecting both Stephen Curry and Colin Kaepernick in the span of 24 hours. Shortly after Trump immaturely uninvited Curry to the White House—despite the fact that Curry announced that he was skipping the visit—NBA champions LeBron James and Kobe Bryan spoke out against Trump.

U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

A #POTUS whose name alone creates division and anger. Whose words inspire dissension and hatred can't possibly "Make America Great Again"
— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) September 23, 2017

Since then, Twitter has been flooding with outrage toward Trump for his childish comments about the athletes. From Maxine Waters and Ava DuVernay to Hannibal Buress and Jemele Hill, nobody is taking this embarrassing rant lightly. Scroll down to read some of the most thought provoking reactions.

Realize "Make America Great Again" is the newest reality tv show. Ratings high. Quality low. & the majority of America wanted this.

He's not declaring war on NFL and NBA. Owners are his donors. He's declaring way against black people with opinions. https://t.co/lnEIKs1e9I

Thank you @jemelehill & @KingJames! Speak truth to power. Trump is a bum & a disgrace & it's never too early to get ready for impeachment.

With everything that's going on in our country, why are YOU focused on who's kneeling and visiting the White House??? #StayInYoLane

The behavior of the President is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. If you do not Condemn this divisive Rhetoric you are Condoning it!!

Trump has now attacked Jemele Hill, Colin Kaepernick, & Stephen Curry. All have something in common but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
— Ryan Lizza (@RyanLizza) September 23, 2017

Going after Jemele Hill, Colin Kaepernick and Steph Curry harder than Neo-Nazis. Guys, I think Trump's a white supremacist.
— Erick Fernandez (@ErickFernandez) September 23, 2017

We have the best NBA player in the world calling 45 a "bum" & one of the best NFL RBs calling him an a-hole. What. A. Time.
— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) September 23, 2017

Why is it that there is an issue with the idea of white supremacy but not the white supremacists themselves? 45 can’t condone them, when he is one of them. It will be interesting to see how the NFL owners who did donate to 45’s cause in the White House, will respond. Now is a time for players to take a stronger stand, no longer thinking it doesn’t involve them directly. When everyone goes out on that field to play, beliefs, ethnicities, religions, and way of life mean nothing. Being the best means everything. Football has provided purpose and direction to countless, and yet, the same field on which they have freedom to play, they don’t have the freedom to kneel to stand up for their own rights? When you are the majority group in a league, you have the power to change history. That requires our own boycotting of attending and watching games as well. Even if your organizations don’t stand behind you, we do. #StandWithKaep #BiggerThanTheGame #NFLBoycott #ItStartsWithUs

Trump attacks Colin Kaepernick with a lot more force and conviction than he uses for David Duke or Richard Spencer.

bum is up there with goofy. extremely elite insults.
— deaux (@dstfelix) September 23, 2017

Curry, Durant, Kerr have blasted Trump. Brady, Belichick, Kraft have not. So I am not surprised Trump sees Pats differently than Warriors. https://t.co/SSaqJCRd3j
— Perry Bacon Jr. (@perrybaconjr) September 23, 2017

Nothing triggers Trump more than perceived ingratitude from successful POCs. In his mind, they don't achieve things; they are given things.

“Stick to sports boy... Sit down and do what your told. Say or do something we don’t like and your fired” Well I hate to break it to ya...
