Trump Attacks Meryl Streep, Twitter Explodes In Anger At Toddler-In-Chief (TWEETS, VIDEO)

When Meryl Streep used her speech at the Golden Globes to slice, dice, and julienne Donald Trump, we knew that it would get under the president-elect’s skin. One moment alone assured us of that–Streep let Trump have it for his disgraceful mocking of disabled reporter Serge Kovaleski.

True to form, Trump flack-in-chief Kellyanne Conway claimed Streep was playing down to our “worst instincts” and deserved “the benefit of the doubt.” But it turns out that she was following her boss’ lead. Just before Conway went on the curvy couch, Trump unleashed one of his patented tweetstorms.

Hmmm, sounds like Trump needs his memory jogged. Well, I’m happy to oblige. This is footage from a Trump rally in Myrtle Beach in November 2015.

Does anyone seriously believe that Trump wasn’t making fun of Kovaleski’s disability? Well, apparently the Internet doesn’t, judging by the furious shaming that the Toddler-in-Chief received in the hours after his latest rant. BBC Radio 1 producer Mike Williams set the tone.

There’s more where that came from. Here’s a sample. First, from Brisbane Times columnist Cameron Atfield.

But the most epic response came from Tony Posnanski, best known as “The Anti-Jared” for losing over 200 pounds in a year.

Ouch.

Trump went into a similar rant on Facebook. From the looks of it, he’s getting a similar response. But you know what’s really telling? In the 48 hours since it emerged that one of his top national security advisers, Monica Crowley, is a serial plagiarist, all we’ve heard from Trump’s people is a boilerplate response saying that any attacks on Crowley are mere propaganda. But what have we heard from Trump himself? Nada. Zip. Zero. Bupkis.

And yet, he somehow found the time to get up at 6 in the morning and lay into an actress for criticizing him. Priorities seem to be yet another thing in Trump’s way.

An attempt to turn him into a member of the religious right in college only succeeded in turning him into the religious right's worst nightmare--a charismatic Christian who is an unapologetic liberal.
