Attorney Michael Avenatti is no stranger to calling out President Donald Trump. The Stormy Daniels representative is known for not mincing words when criticizing the president and his former lawyer Michael Cohen.

On Friday, Avenatti took to the streets of London to join the massive resistance across the pond. The fiery attorney began tweeting to make sure that Trump knew.

The tweets come a day after Trump insisted that “I get thousands of notifications from people in the UK that they love the President of the United States.” In the same interview, Trump mentioned a poll that had him beating Abraham Lincoln for most popular Republican (he did not specify the name of the poll) before saying that if an "honest poll" were conducted in the UK, he'd be "very strong."

Twitter seemed to side more with Avenatti.

Avenatti is one of the thousands taking to the streets of London to protest Donald Trump. The protests come just a day after Trump's latest slight against our closest ally.

Trump shocked Americans and Brits alike when he criticized Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May's plans to maintain strong trade relations with the European Union after the fast-approaching Brexit, saying the plans would "probably kill" a trade deal with the United States.

His comments motivated an already irate number of London protesters. And, like Avenatti, they made sure to tell the President via his direct line: Twitter.

The massive protests have effectively kept Trump out of London for the majority of his trip. The president said of the protests:

 “I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London.”

Thousands of Londoners agree.

After tea with the Queen and a short trip to Scotland, the president will head to Helsinki, Finland for a one-on-one summit with Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, a meeting he said could be "the easiest of them all." The President seems to be looking forward to a warm welcome from the Kremlin.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
