News of Donald Trump reaching a possible DACA deal with Democratic congressional leaders has infuriated members of the alt-right.

And, as we've learned from the hashtag #burnmyMAGAhat, those alt-right supporters are taking their anger with the president out on his hats. Sad!

Politico and other outlets reported on Wednesday night that Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi confirmed they'd come to an agreement with Trump on a plan that would protect the nearly 800,000 people at risk by ending DACA.

The terms reportedly included providing Trump with additional border security but no promises on funding for his proposed wall. After hearing of the bipartisan move, firm alt-right supporters felt betrayed by Trump, and expressed their frustration by burning their Make American Great Again hats in protest.

In addition, the hashtag #AmnestyDon also started circulating after Trump said "We’re not looking at amnesty. We’re looking at allowing people to stay here," while speaking to reporters in Florida.

Even Breitbart jumped in with the "Amnesty Don" moniker.

Despite Trump sharing a denial of the deal on Twitter, many members of the alt-right were still upset after the president defended Dreamers as "good, educated, and accomplished people."

In addition to those condemning Trump's behavior by burning their hats, prominent conservatives like Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity, and members of the alt-right like expert conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich, also spoke out.

Cernovich bashed the president's followers in a tweet, which has since been deleted, calling them "stupid, low energy, and overall losers."

Cernovich then hopped on Periscope and filmed a livestream titled "The Dream is Over for Trump supporters," where he had a full-on meltdown about the president's recent actions.

Sounds like Trump better keep a watchful eye on his precious ratings and merch sales.
