I'm thumbing through my pocket constitution looking for "fighting with actresses " under the president's defined duties.


We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

The Fox website is having a major meltdown over the GG awards.
Apparently people stood before microphones and said critical things about a president.

Shocking.
Never have I seen such a thing!
LOL

So from now on Trump's going to blame Hilliary when anyone disparages him?

Re: Trump attacks Streep for speech at Golden Globes

I only heard bits and pieces of what Streep said. I have no issue with her using her time in the spotlight to speak out against Trump, or whatever she wishes.

That said......

1 - Stuff like this plays so much into Trump's hands. He lives for this stuff. It allows him to make some disparaging tweets and gets the news cycle to focus on the whole she said/he said battle. Meanwhile, cabinet nomination hearings kick off this week and we should all know that Trump would rather us focus on Meryl Steep than Jeff Sessions.

2 - Again, I have no issue with Streep speaking out, but doesn't the scene, a rich "Hollywood Liberal" speaking in front of a bunch of other rich "Hollywood Liberals" about politics, when they don't have to live the life of the day to day drudgery of going to work, getting the kids to and from soccer practice, and so on live up to the stereotype that liberals are elitists who look down their noses at the masses?

Meryl Streep is a phenomenal actress, but I'm just not sure she is the spokeswoman the Trump opposition forces need right now.

Good post, Lager.
Yea, it doesn't lose him any support from Trump's fans. They seem to thrive on his constant, petty fights as much as he does.

But, fighting with an actress on Twitter is unseemly, and petty. It doesn't broaden his support either.
And, if one takes the time to actually hear her (Something which most Trumpers, I admit, will NOT do) She isn't being a hollywood elitist looking down on the masses. She is taking a guy on for mocking a disabled person.
And if you outraged about the mistreatment of disabled people,,,,,,,

Seriously . . . I never thought I'd live to see the president elect of the U.S. throwing a public tantrum over something an actor said or did or sang or joked about while, at the same time, defending and praising the exploits of an ex-KGB agent and current president of a dictatorial, aggressive, communist nation that threatens our military, economic, and political security around the world.

I must've gone to sleep and fallen down a rabbit hole.

Agreed. 

And... I repeat my original statement of "Doesn't he have anything BETTER to do ?"

It is NOT as if he doesn't have a team to put together and get their input from on all the different area OR understand what the most current status is of those who want to do us harm OR even learn about all the duties and nuances of being our POTUS ! 

No, the man-boy President elect has to engage in a Twitter War to assuage his fragile ego !

Yep--disparage me & I'll get back at ya.  Trump never left the play ground stage of childhood.
