Former Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has been found guilty of individual income tax return, filing a false individual income tax return. / CBSN

Celebrities from Cher, to Isla Fisher and Will & Grace star Debra Messing were among the social media users to stick the boot into Donald Trump after two of his close aides were found guilty of federal crimes.

The internet reacted swiftly to the news that Mr Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen had pleaded guilty to campaign finance breaches, saying his boss directed him to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels, on the same day as the US President's former campaign chief was found guilty by a jury of his peers to eight federal counts of tax fraud.

Expect a nightmare the next few days. These guys will not give up power easily. They would rather pull out every dirty trick in the book before they will admit this is a criminal horror show.

Imagine if Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, and Donald Trump were all in the same prison. That would be the best season of The Apprentice ever.

I love how media just casually refers to Michael Cohen as Trump’s “Fixer.”

I don’t have a “Fixer.” I’ve never met anyone who has a “fixer.” I don’t remember any President ever having a “fixer.”

However, you know who did need a fixer? WALTER WHITE IN BREAKING BAD.

— Brianna Wu (@BriannaWu) August 21, 2018

Even Stormy Daniels, who says she had an affair with the Us President and was paid off by Michael Cohen, couldn't resist tweeting after enduring months of attacks on her credibility.

How ya like me now?! # teamstormy
