Hollywood icon and beloved actress Meryl Streep decided to drag Donald Trump last night and it send the President-Elect into a Twitter meltdown.
Meryl Streep was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award last night and her speech is now the talk of the town. While it was brilliant and what every liberal and sane minded person needed to hear, it was also the bait that Trump needed to, once again, go on a childish rant.
All Meryl did was point out that Trump’s hatred of ‘foreigners’ and ‘immigrants’ takes away one of America’s most lucrative enterprises: Hollywood. It is filled to the brim with people from all walks of life and she just pointed out the actors. She didn’t include the diversity found in the crew members and producers, all the Americans put to work by an industry that Trump loathes.
Check out her speech:
Meryl also called out Trump’s mocking of a disabled reporter. And how did the baby president elect defend himself? By basically saying that the reporter deserved it.
Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him.......

"groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!

Which is totally warranted right? Let’s mock someone with a disability by poking fun at them ‘groveling’. And Donald wasn’t the only insane right-wing to chime in. Of course Tomi Lahren and Kellyanne Conway had to open their mouths as well.
Meryl bout to get some "final thoughts" tomorrow. These entitled Hollywood crybabies still don't understand how out of touch they are!

Kellyanne Conway accuses Meryl Streep's #GoldenGlobes speech of "also inciting peoples' worst instincts" https://t.co/pkNbKUpYkK pic.twitter.com/pMYZ6yoDRv

The entire situation proved, once again, that Donald Trump is emotionally charged about even the smallest of things. He’s hot headed and doesn’t think about the consequences of his actions and he’s about to be one of the most power people on the planet. That’s really fun to think about.

At least one thing is for sure, you can’t drag Meryl Streep and expect people to like you. It’s just not how the world works.
