On Friday, Donald Trump was inaugurated the 45th president of the United States, and many people lost their minds. Pundits melted down on live TV, protestors destroyed Washington DC, and some literally threw temper-tantrums.
Here are the some of the most unhinged reactions to Trump’s inauguration yet.

This guy compared Trump’s inauguration to 9/11.
If you thought you'd never see anything on TV as frightening as 9/11, this was it. But the consequences of this are far more damaging

He seems sane.
The worst human being ever to enter the presidency, and I include all the slaveholders.

This is just gross.
My period started with a vengeance in the middle of that speech. I think my uterus is trying to leave America without me. #TrumpInauguration

TV pundits lost their minds, including MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.
I just flipped to MSNBC to hear Chris Matthews describe Trump saying "America first" as "not just racial, Hitlerian."

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow compared Trump’s speech to Hitler’s rise.
