Donald Trump Denounces Meryl Streep and News Media After Tough Weekend
The New York Slimes ^ | Jan. 9, 2017 | Jonathan Weisman and Maggie Haberman

“There was one performance this year that stunned me — it sank its hooks in my heart,” Ms. Streep said. “Not because it was good; there was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh, and show their teeth.

“It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter,” she said, referring to a speech in 2015 when Mr. Trump shuddered and flailed his arms, appearing to mock a disabled reporter at The New York Times. “It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can’t get it out of my head, because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.”

Mr. Trump, in his inimitable way, spoke with Patrick Healy of The Times to respond to that attack — and then took to Twitter.

I've never understood what appeal that lumpy, mousy, whiny woman has.

Tough weekend for who?

Certainly not for Trump.

Tough weekend for Trump?

Heh.

Wonder how Dorkbama and the Hillabeast’s weekend was?

Clearing out any more floors of your new building yet, NYT marshmallow majors?

Not responding didn’t work for GWB.

GWB never responded, and soon became a Hollywood doormat, then the Hollywood Nazi, and eventually Americas Nazi president and whipping boy.

As disgusting as it is to have to fight these zombies, it has to be done.

Trump never mocked that reporter for being disabled.

Meryl Streep— just another lying liberal spreading fake news stories.

We will now evaluate the Trump election and presidency through the prism of Meryl Streep’s twisted leftist pea brain. Not.

They will not quit. They pick a dubious (at best) incident and harp and harp and harp until every person in America has heard their whining. If this is happening already, what will it be like after the inauguration?

Swings in many ways with many insiders. They adore her in Hollyweird. Same as they have Streisand.

Yes GWB allowed the libs to define him and that’s what they did.

One of the things I like most about Trump is he fights back.

She is a life long leftist/activist like that Baldwin A hole. Hollywood always takes care of leftists.

Tell me how rude it is for liberals to hijack every event having nothing to do with politics and to use it to lecture everyone with their radical philosophy. Meryl Streep is a typical arrogant liberal jerk.

Barbra Streisand could sing like all hell. Meryl Streep is a good actress but let’s face it unattractive whining somewhat boring and overrated.

Given Streep's very stellar education at Vassar and Yale, how can she NOT be a Left-wing activist? Hence my suggestion that members of the Hollywood Left just take a year off from movie/TV show production and just go on a cross-country trip by motor vehicle to visit the people in "flyover country" to better understand the average American.

Yep, that's what I would imagine Hell to be like, listening to Babs 24/7.

Both Bush’es in office were honorable leaders who made policy mistakes. Their biggest problem was that they thought that the Dem and the media were also honorable.

I finally figured it out in Sept — DT fights back and that is what will allow more good legislation and policy to go through.

from the article: "For the record, Mrs. Clinton did not lose big."

for the record--yes she did lose big... simply by losing... she and just about everybody--the media, her followers, all assumed she would win... her losing was big...

Streep’s rant is just a tiny taste of what we’re going to see from the Left every day for the next four years.

May as well get used to it.

The best part of her speech was her whining about America hating Hollywierd.

Totally agree, the media destroyed Bush, even worse on Reagan. They will be relentless on Trump, which is why I think he must keep tweeting and have a spokesman on every Sunday show. AND, we need a conservative billionaire to buy NBC. AND, we need to reform education, repeal and replace.
