Donald Trump attacks Meryl Streep, calls her overrated
While giving her Golden Globes acceptance speech after she received the Cecil B. Demille Lifetime Achievement Award, star actress Meryl Streep had a few words for US President-elect, Donald Trump.
Without mentioning names, Meryl Streep spoke about one of Trump’s actions that got to her emotionally. In 2015, he mocked a reporter with a disability. She said, “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 and power and the capacity to fight back. It, it kind of broke my heart when I saw it and I still can’t get it out my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.
