      She is fantastic - If this is the way he reacts to criticism though I just can't believe he is fit to be president...

        He knows the controlled media won't deal with her, so he has no choice but to deal with her direct via his Twitter

          HAHA! Trump got trolled (again). This is how it will be Mr. President -- get used to it and "man up."

              Donald Trump: “I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering.”

              Article from 2001 by Serge Kovaleski and Fredrick Kunkle: “law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.”

              Serge Kovaleski 2016: “I certainly do not remember anyone saying that thousands or even hundreds of people were celebrating. That was not the case, as best as I can remember.”

              Frederick Kunkle 2016: “I specifically visited the Jersey City building and neighborhood where the celebrations were purported to have happened. But I could never verify that report.”

              ----------------------------------------------------------------------
              So, Kovaleski did not grovel and he did not change his story.

              Just more very dishonest Donald Trump.

                    His inability to let it go when he gets caught in a lie is the weird part.

                      He's in his own world. Low lifes like wehateporn have been elevated by DT, as have their delusions of grandeur.

                      A nonAmerican conspiracy theorist attaching himself to an American president & Putin following, and supporting, their every move online like a mentally ill shadow.

                      One day he's posting video of wire spool rolling on the freeway, the next be's an expert on American media (not).

                      Meryl Streep trolls Trump, Trump falls for it and squeels like a pig to his followers on Twitter, his followers hear their marching orders and trash Meryl Streep anywhere they can, which has no impact on anything. Priceless

                      I look forward to Trump having his followers do more useless stuff, spending their time and energy day after day doing his bidding

                            During the campaign when DT talked about this reporter and jerked around mocking his disability, was the first clear indication of what a low life DT truly is. DT never before, or after, did those jerky motions but denies to this day that it was about the guys muscle disability. No honor no class Trump.



                            How someone treats the less fortunate says a lot about them.

                                            Funny how all the people that thought Hillary was going to win the presidency now thinks Trump will be a bad president, get over yourselves! You've been wrong about Trump since the beginning!
                                            Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                            think about that

                                              Foreigners who support Trump want America to fail.

                                              She's an actress. I work on movie sets. Actors, actresses and their fans are the only people who take them seriously. His tweet does put her in her place.

                                              Spend you some brain.

                                                      No we haven't. We got 1 thing wrong, which is that he'd win the EC.

                                                      People like you have gotten more wrong about Trump than we have. I've called it since the beginning that all his campaign promises were lies.

                                                      People like yourself believed them all, hook line and sinker and still make excuses as to why they won't happen.

                                                      Now your only response is to defend and distract like good little Trump clowns.
                                                      In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                        You would think she's "put in her place" In Trumplestiltskin world that is definitely your perception.

                                                        He just elevated her internationally, raising her profile in the political world, while devaluing his own brand.

                                                        There are over 300 million Americans , 62 million voted for Trump. Think about that.

                                                            You must be kidding.

                                                            He just paid Carrier $7 million dollars of our tax payer money to have Carrier send seven hundred jobs to Mexico. LOL. Trump just rewarded a company for sending jobs to Mexico.

                                                            Obama's approval rating as President Elect was 72%. Trump's is 41%.



                                                            Trump stole the election with help from Russia, plain and simple.

DT never before, or after, did those jerky motions but denies to this day that it was about the guys muscle disability. No honor no class Trump.



                                                              How someone treats the less fortunate says a lot about them.



                                                              OK...This is as far as I'm going to read this thread. I should have known not to read it in the first place based on the fucking tard that started it....Yet, here I am.... (oh shit, I just used the word tard...)

                                                              Anyway, the ignorance in this thread is just too much. Not sure if this has already been posted in this thread or not. As I said, I'm not going to read any further. Also not going to respond to you morons other than to show you the truth.

You would think he would have something more important to do rather that to defend his persona that will be challenged daily as POTUS.

                                                                                                  Are you talking about facts that she stated? Facts aren't hate speech. The truth can hurt but it's not hate speech.

You and all of us in this room, really, belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it. Hollywood, foreigners, and the press. But who are we? And, you know, what is Hollywood anyway? It's just a bunch of people from other places.

                                                                                                  I was born and raised and created in the public schools of New Jersey. Viola [Davis] was born in a sharecropper's cabin in South Carolina, and grew up in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Sarah Paulson was raised by a single mom in Brooklyn. Sarah Jessica Parker was one of seven or eight kids from Ohio. Amy Adams was born in Italy. Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem. Where are their birth certificates? And the beautiful Ruth Negga was born in Ethiopia, raised in -- no, in Ireland, I do believe. And she's here nominated for playing a small town girl from Virginia. Ryan Gosling, like all the nicest people, is Canadian. And Dev Patel was born in Kenya, raised in London, is here for playing an Indian raised in Tasmania.

                                                                                                  Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. If you kick 'em all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts. They gave me three seconds to say this. An actor's only job is to enter the lives of people who are different from us and let you feel what that feels like. And there were many, many, many powerful performances this year that did exactly that, breathtaking, passionate work.

                                                                                                  There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. 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, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can't get it out of my head because it wasn't in a movie. It was real life.

                                                                                                  And this instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.

                                                                                                  This brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage.That's why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in our constitution. So I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood Foreign Press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the committee to protect journalists. Because we're going to need them going forward. And they'll need us to safeguard the truth.

                                                                                                  One more thing. Once when I was standing around on the set one day whining about something, we were going to work through supper, or the long hours or whatever, Tommy Lee Jones said to me, isn't it such a privilege, Meryl, just to be an actor. Yeah, it is. And we have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be very proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight.

                                                                                                  As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art. Thank you."
