NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump and his Cabinet picks are preparing to face public questioning over their business conflicts, their approach to Russia and other issues during a critical week of confirmation hearings and the president-elect’s first news conference in nearly six months.
Trump plunged Monday into another fight with a high-profile critic, this time in a three-part tweet responding to actress Meryl Streep’s denunciation of him from the stage of the Golden Globe awards.



Trump called the Academy Award winner who had supported Democrat Hillary Clinton “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood” and “a Hillary flunky who lost big.”

Someone please take hiw Twitter away.

His vindictiveness is that of a 9 year old. Neener, neener, neener. Act like a President for crying out loud. What is going to happen when other countries call him out?
 
Yeah twitter needs to be shutdown or anyone with the emotional IQ of a 9 year old banned. This is a national disgrace, the soon to be president picking fights with actors

"Wahhh china made fun of me and i'm powerless to do anything except cry on twitter"
 
Why should Ms. Streep be allowed to tell lies and get away with it? She is just another rich, entitled, Hollywood liberals telling lies to other rich, entitled, Hollywood liberals that desperately want to believe the lies.
 
Yet another example of the immaturity of our new President. God help us all.

What was the "lie" you are claiming she told?

Yes, I would describe our next President as rich and entitled, so what? At least he is not saying he is a victim. Those Hollywood types are not victims either but they sure seem to speak as if they are.
 
Mocking of a disabled reporter because he was disabled vice the reporter being untruthful in his statements.


Are you SERIOUSLY going to attempt to deny that he was mocking a disabled person? Seriously?

OMG! Trump is the biggest "Victim" out there. What are you talking about?

Victimstance is what got Trump elected.

A. Because the President of the United States has better things to do with his time and if spends his time dealing with ever critic he won't have time to do the job of being President.

B. Because all he usually does is launch in personal attacks and not address the substance of the remarks.

C. Because you can't effectively counter any argument using Twitter.
 
It is going to be a loooong 4 years for diehard Trump supporters. I voted for Obama in 2008. Maybe the first couple things he did I didn't approve of I tried to rationalize away. But I quickly realized it was a lost cause and just started calling him on his ****. Trump isn't even in office yet and his supporters are having to perform amazing feats of mental gymnastics to defend Trump. I hate to break it to you folks, but Trump is only going to make it harder for you as the days go by.

I get that you prefer him to Hillary. That doesn't mean you have to defend him no matter what. That makes you no better than Al Sharpton when he said he would never criticize Obama.

We agree on these points.
 
Yes, I am because the facts support my position.

Well trot those facts out, a777, so that we might all become enlightened. Most of us believe what we saw and heard. Apparently we have been mislead by our eyes and ears.

The video of trump mocking a disabled reporter was cgi created by George Lucas. So was every other video and recording of him acting like a total asshole.
 
He mocked the person that was untruthful in his statements not because that person was disabled.


That makes absolutely no sense. Are you saying that anyone who makes untruthful statements should be mocked as if they had a physical disability and that Trump doing so was merely a coincidence? Man! You really have to do some mental gymnastics to convince yourself with that type of pseudo logic.

He imitated the man's disability. Yes, that is mocking his disability. I don't agree at all with what Meryl Streep did. But Trump has to own his actions when it comes to that reporter and Trump's really crass, childish imitation of him.

Actually that makes more sense than a777.
