Here we go again, The president-elect took to Twitter in the early hours of Monday morning to hit back at the actress following her well-received Golden Globes speech.
Not content with describing Meryl Streep as a “Hillary lover” late Sunday after the actress roast the president-elect in her Cecil B. DeMille Award acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, Donald Trump hit up Twitter in the early hours of Monday to lash out further and he keeps on going.
Across three tweets, he described the multiple Oscar-winner as “one of most over-rated actresses in Hollywood,” saying she was a “Hillary flunk who lost big” and that she had “attacked” him without merit over claims he had ridiculed a disabled reporter.

"groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!

“There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart,” 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, power and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it and I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie, it was real life.”
Streep also echoed Hugh Laurie’s comments about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association being a part of “the most vilified segments in American society right now” — Hollywood, foreigners and the press.
“Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick us all out, you’ll have nothing to watch except for football and mixed martial arts, which are not arts,” Streep said. “But who are we, and what is Hollywood anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places.”
