Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a.....

Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him.......

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 5s5 seconds ago
"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!

[global1]

1. OK Twitter - Trump Is Harrassing Meryl Streep...

do the right thing and kick him off Twitter. Isn't that one of your rules - no harrassment?

[madokie]

40. I say lets leave him on twitter

its a big clear ass open window into his tiny brain and the lack of a heart. Not to mention evidence of a clear and present danger to the United States of America. All of this can and possibly will be used against him in a court of law. IMO

[yeoman6987]

58. I don't think Meryl Streep has an account

She does have a fan page. I wanted to thank her but was only able to through the fan page.

[skylucy]

2. And isn't it interesting that Ms. Streep never mentioned the name Trump. He knows the

cap fits though. All the outcry from him and his toadies just makes her case.

[Cha]

4. Exactly, skylucy! Everyone on the Planet knew who Meryl was talking

about because we've all seen the vid.

"I was never mocking anyone," he told the Times. "People keep saying I intended to mock the reporter’s disability, as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing."

What a freaking asshole.. we don't need to read his stupid mind..

Called Meryl a "Hillary Lover"..

Donald Trump Slams Meryl Streep's Golden Globes Speech Calling Her 'a Hillary Lover'

Like that's an insult.

[Tanuki]

37. "Hillary lover".....Meryl and at least 65 million more of us!

And we all love Meryl.....and so does President Obama!

....."the best part of the ceremony was when the President made a honest confession. “I love Meryl Streep,” he told the packed room. “Her husband knows I love her. Michelle knows I love her. There’s nothing they can do about it.”

The president went on to praise the Oscar winning actress by saying, “She inhabits her characters so fully and compassionately, saying it is the greatest gift of human beings that we have this power of empathy.”

He continued to tell everyone in the East Room that Meryl has a gift of helping others. “And off the screen as an advocate for women and girls, she uses that gift to help others write the stories of their choosing and to encourage greater empathy in the rest of us.”

President Obama then stated that Meryl is truly one of “America’s leading ladies.”

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to individuals who have made “meritorious contributions” to U.S. security, world peace or cultural endeavors."

[Cha]

41. Mahalo for that, Tanuki! President Obama appreciates the arts so much..

....."the best part of the ceremony was when the President made a honest confession. “I love Meryl Streep,” he told the packed room. “Her husband knows I love her. Michelle knows I love her. There’s nothing they can do about it.”



Good segue

[NewJeffCT]

46. Him saying he wasn't mocking the reporter

is not for the 75% of Americans who knew he was doing just that - it's for the 50% of his supporters that will believe anything he says, even if it's a complete 180 from whatever he said the day before. So, he can continue to paint the picture of Hollywood and other coastal elites and the media being against Trump and against them.

[skylucy]

68. Hi Cha! Unbelievable that an actress standing up for a person with a disability and trying to

inspire everyone to stand against cruelty and violence would make Trump, Conway, Megan McCain etc. so angry and offended. Trump and his shills have no soul and no shame.

[Cha]

69. And lucky us.. they're in charge of the world.. them and putin.

Hanging in there

[malaise]

35. That's the best part

[Solly Mack]

3. Idiot denies he did it even as he confesses he did it.

[Cha]

5. It's surreal we have to put up with lying sack of shite.

[babylonsister]

12. OT but

How are you feeling, my friend? I hope well.

[Solly Mack]

13. Good. Got an appointment this morning. Enjoying some coffee

beforehand.

Got more tests today and once those results are in, I'll get my exact surgery time.

Thanks!

[babylonsister]

19. Oh!

I thought you'd already had it. Thinking of you... xo

[Solly Mack]

63. No. Not yet. Soon, though.

The 5th turned out to be more tests. I went prepared to be checked in, but they wanted more tests first, so...

Did the last of my tests this AM and will get my surgery date either this afternoon or tomorrow.

I want it over and done with already. I want the pain to go away.

[Cha]

6. K&R lamp_shade.. Thanks.. nice touch with the pic to go with it.

[lamp_shade]

7. It's kind of nasty, but unquestionably appropriate.

[Cha]

9. Yeah, I didn't really take a close look.. just kind of skimmed right

outta there!

[sarah FAILIN]

8. I tweeted at him

Told him he is a child with no self control attacking an actress for speaking her mind.

Honestly I like being able to tell him what a traitorous coward he is. Tweet away.

[Cha]

10. Good on you, sarah.. surprised he hasn't blocked you

or anyone else who calls him out for what he is.

[sarah FAILIN]

11. almost all of the people tweeting at him are dems

Nobody likes him

[Vinca]

14. OMG, what a disturbing photo.

[Bohunk68]

15. Love the touch of the Russian lapel pin. BWAHA

[lamp_shade]

22. I just noticed that. LOL

[yuiyoshida]

16. Can ANYONE IMAGINE OBAMA doing this???

Seriously, NO.

[barbtries]

18. what tends to get lost

because of his incessant narcissism, is what she was actually saying. we need a free press, it's in the first amendment, and he cannot be allowed to destroy or weaken it.
that's why since the election so much of my dollars have gone to subscriptions and donations to news enterprises. i have one more i think, to go: Newsweek. Kurt Eichenwald is a national treasure and must be supported.

[AgadorSparticus]

25. You're absolutely right. It is imperative that we stand up and support responsible journalism.

What was the name of that organization that she mentioned?

[barbtries]

50. i can't recall either

seems like the acronym was cpr or something like that. but i may very well watch the clip of her speech again and if so, will let you know

[AgadorSparticus]

51. According to the transcripts, It is the committee to protect journalists.

[barbtries]

54. thank you

[AgadorSparticus]

55. You're welcome

52. Committee to Protect Journalists. Here's the link. Use it.

53. thank you

[GusBob]

28. yes also lost, "the instinct to humiliate"

which is exactly what he does, and did, in his reply

he is a horrible man

[barbtries]

49. right.

the normalization of hatred and hurtfulness toward others. the lionization of that behavior.

[spanone]

20. a lying little man. we have the video don. you lying bastard.

23. Another word Trump does not understand what it means

Overrated. Meryl Streep is clearly NOT overrated.

[mopinko]

45. CANNOT be overrated.

[bravenak]

60. Exactly. She is one of the best

[nadine_mn]

24. It's always "who doesn't know me"

This is one of the oddest things about Trump's 'response tweets' when someone insults (aka tells the truth) him - he always throws in the something about how the person doesn't know him.

About the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan's 'rude' statements re: Trumps Muslim ban "he doesn't know me, never met me"

About Pope Francis (who questioned Trump's Christianity - re: Trump building walls instead of bridges) "he doesn't know me"

In Oct of last year Trump: “Obama talks about me like he knows me; he doesn't know me, & I don't know him.”

it just goes on - like somehow "knowing" Trump is going to make his awfulness any better

[cab67]

27. Ever notice....

....that on shows like Judge Mathis, defendants (and sometimes plaintiffs) always say "You don't know me!" while being justifiably scolded just before they lose.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

66. He has made himself known to all of us by his actions and words.

He is an immature, intemperate, un-statesmanlike, misogynistic, racist, lying, cheating bully. No mystery there.

[cab67]

26. This whole thing needs to become a big story (again).

It illustrates almost* everything wrong with Herr Drumpf - his deliberate mean-spiritedness and casual ability to lie. He OBVIOUSLY mocked a disabled reporter. And he's dissing one of the most distinguished and talented actresses of all time in an effort to say something that is baldly untrue.

I want this to be the viral story in the days before his inauguration.

*I say "almost" because it doesn't quite capture his status as Putin's bitch.

[Mc Mike]

29. Nazimorontweetswhat?

36. Tweet more gaslighting

39. Check. nt.

[annabanana]

30. Gaslighter, passing gas. . . . . n/t

[kcr]

31. Yep, that's the first thing people think of when they hear Meryl Streep

Overrated! You hear it all the time. His You Don't Know Me! schtick is a clear indicator right there of his mental maturity. This country is living a real life Disney XD whacky movie plot. Donald Trump, Teenage President!

[Roland99]

32. Overrated actress? Overrated?? Her bowel movements have more talent than Der Twitler could ever have

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Meryl_Streep

[Mira]

33. The tie is too short. Other than that

I'm good with it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

34. Poor, tortured Trumpy.

He can't get a good night's sleep, defending himself with all of those awesome tweets. Such a brave soul, up at 3 and 4am, holding off the hordes who think less of him than.. well.. he does-- which is everybody who dares speak an honest word.

[erpowers]

38. He Is So Predictable

I knew he was going to claim she was overrated, or something similar. Meryl Streep is not overrated. She is one of the best actresses of all time, if not the best of all time. Ms. Streep can take on just about any role and make it believable.

[They_Live]

48. And his predictability

is part of what makes him dangerous to all of us if he is president. He can be so easily provoked, and never conceals his intentions. He is reactive rather than responsive. Not good for dealing with other leaders. He can be manipulated so easily.

[hollowdweller]

42. So he retaliated by doing the very thing she criticized him for?

Odd.

[watoos]

43. I'm not an expert

but Trump has mental issues, serious mental issues.

Deep down inside Trump, he is not happy, never laughs, more importantly, there is no joy in his life, there is no peace in his life. I certainly would not ever want to trade places with him for all the gold in Fort Knox.
There is something seriously wrong with a person who needs to be constantly praised and catered to. There is something seriously wrong with a person who makes himself so upset at even the slightest bit of criticism.

I don't think that Donald Trump will make it 4 years as president, both physically and mentally.
I am certainly not going to kow tow to him and root for him to be successful, if he is successful as president America is going to suffer. The more people who refuse to accept his presidency the worse it is going to be for him.

65. you might want to check this out from Keith Olbermann

[DesertRat]

44. "Over-rated" is what he calls anyone who calls him out

And Streep did it without even mentioning his name.

#ThingsTrumpThinksAreOverrated is now trending on twitter.

[uhnope]

47. embarrassing to be an American right now. Impeachment Now nt

[BSdetect]

56. My disdain grows hourly

Dishonest Don, you are a shit.

[blogslut]

57. I feel a little sad for the folks that bet money on him calling her "overrated".

The odds had to be low.

I did not bet money. In fact, I think I will take the money I did not bet and purchase HBO's 2003 version of 'Angels in America'. I will take extra pleasure in re-watching the scenes where the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg (played by Ms. Streep) torments a dying Roy Cohn.

[Gothmog]

59. Trump is too thin skinned to be POTUS

[SammyWinstonJack]

61. I can't wait for all the nasty vengeful tweets from him wrt the evil

Legislation he will sign. What fun those will be to read.It will be GREAT TREMENDOUS.

[LittleBlue]

62. The Republican playbook is becoming obvious: distract distract distract

Distract from Trump and team's obvious ethical issues with tabloid-like sideshows. His biggest vulnerability is that he's so unethical he can almost be impeached on day 1, and his 30% approval won't shield him.

So just tweet that Meryl Streep is overrated, and you've got yourself a controversy that has legs in the entertainment media.

She's overrated, her awards are fake, she has a funny hairdo, she's a Martian, it doesn't matter. Republicans come out ahead so long as the water cooler talk is about celebrities beefing with Trump and not their internal problems. Anything that can grab front page headlines will do. Don't fall for it. This is a game to them.

[emulatorloo]

64. More gaslighting

[KarmaKola]

67. Remember Ms. Machado ?

Trump tweeted there was a sex video of her....I wonder if he'll tweet the same about Streep ?
