Donald Trump on Wednesday became the third president in the history of the United States to be impeached, alongside Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, and several Hollywood stars are in support of the decision. The businessman-turned-politician who is nearly three years into his first term and wants to run again for the office in 2020, must now wait for a trial in the Senate to determine whether he will be removed from office.

When the impeachment took place, the POTUS was in Michigan for an election rally, reports Entertainment Tonight. He later took to Twitter to share a black-and-white picture of himself pointing fingers with a stern expression, which also read: "They're not after me. They're after you."

"Riverdale" actor Cole Sprouse was among the first ones to react to the historic news from Washington. The 27-year-old took to Instagram story to share a picture of Trump with the caption: "Bye. Bye. Sack of (poop emoji)." Taking to Twitter, the "Friends" alum wrote "Time for a celebration."

Meanwhile, "Who's the Boss?" actress Alyssa Milano was satisfied but "heartbroken" with the news. She wrote on Twitter: I expected this moment but I expected to be more joyful. Maybe jump up & do a happy dance. Maybe. But I'm just sad and heartbroken. What he's left behind can't be erased with this vote."

This is a terrible day in our country’s history.

But a great defense of our democracy
