President Trump shot back at the Women’s March in a tweet on Saturday, suggesting marchers were celebrating unprecedented economic gains made for women under his administration.

Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2018

Hundreds of thousands attended anniversary anti-Trump marches in D.C., Chicago, New York City and other major cities on Saturday. The flagship march is being held in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Speakers at the D.C. rally included Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez and Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Tim Kaine of Virginia.
