US President Donald Trump on Saturday called  for the impeachment of his bitter critic and prominent Republican Senator Mitt Romney, using a hashtag on Twitter in all capital letters.

"I'm hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats! #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY," Trump tweeted.

Trump's tweet came a day after Senator Romney, who during the 2016 presidential elections had called the president a "con artist", criticised him for his handling of the Ukrainian issue.
