“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.

“...that lumpy, mousey ...woman”
********
She has huge mental and moral problems, but we need to stop ridiculing women because of their looks. Do we want a serious forum or just a place to vent?

"Don’t have a link, but have seen other instances where he used the same hand gestures to show some nervous reaction from others."

And it's not just a quirk of Trump. Many people use that same kind of hand-flailing gesture when imitating people who are trying to make excuses for themselves. I do it myself.

[Maceman]

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

Well, she actually is a great actress.

Sorry to hear that. Laurie is an excellent actor and musician (piano, I believe).

Anyway, it’s none of his beeswax. He’s English.

"Ann Coulter has said that the reporter’s “disability” is a slight twitch in one hand which is not really noticeable."

I wouldn't even call it a "twitch." It's more of a deformity in which one hand is bent into a claw-like position. It is not associated with physical tremors or shaking hands.

In your opinion.

“Tough Weekend”

an opinion from an ally of the left.

The same ally that is sub leasing formerly used floor space because business is bad.

A situation coming to other political-media entities.

“Tough weekend for Trump?”

#FAKENEWS

New York Times making it up again!!!

[ResponseAbility]

Yep, eight years of this hyperbolic drama queen BS from every leftist outfit on the planet.

You posted your admonition to the wrong FReeper. Try again.

“Barbra Streisand could sing like all hell. “

Never could stand her style of singing! Phony

[sauropod]

Two-bit talentless tiresome mo-ron.

Look at me! Listen to me! I make millions pretending to be someone I’m not - that makes me an expert in what real people should think!....

"As actors, it is our responsibility to read the newspapers, and then say what we read on television like it's our own opinion."

[jmaroneps37]

That would be a “tough weekend for your side” my dim witted friends from 42nd Street.

[Socon-Econ]

Sorry for posting my reply to the wrong person. Also, there would have been no confusion if I had used a full quote rather than dots.

I was not confused about your meaning. You were confused about which poster to whom you meant to reply.

[Sequoyah101]

Nothing but trash.

So the trained monkeys of Hollywierd think that they can take potshots at Trump without recourse. HAH! These empty suits and and flashing women haven’t produced anything in this country but think they are the end all and there is nothing like them in the world. Their idea of the world is so perverted that they think Bill Clinton is one of them.

[FreedomGuru]

Streep you ignorant mutt, what’s more violent, sucking a baby’s brain out or Donald Trump? What about the millions of Hollywood movie violence? You as an actor contribute to violence.
