Meryl Streep slammed Trump in the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards

The 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards was held at Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills in Hollywood, and Meryl Streep won the Cecil B. DeMille Award - basically a lifetime achievement award. When it’s her time to speech, she didn’t say much about her career, instead, she spent much of the time allotted to her to speak critically of the current political climate and Trump, although she did not mention the president-elect directly by name, but anyone sensible can know who is the object.

It’s well known that Trump has a tense relationship with arts celebrities, but it’s the first time that the star in the Golden Globe Awards ceremony bombarded trump directly. Streep first praised the excellent performance arts stars in the past year, she said, "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 powerful performances this year that did exactly that -- breathtaking, compassionate work." She mentioned many famous stars, and pointed out that they were all not born in America, but they devoted themselves to Hollywood, "Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners and if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts."

After that, she began to criticize Trump. “There was one performance this year that stunned me,” she said, “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.” That 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." She said that broke her heart, “I still can't get it out of my head because it wasn't in a movie, it was real life. This instinct to humiliate when it's modeled by someone in the public ... by someone powerful, it filters down into everyone's life because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same." The actress also said, "When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose."

Trump responded it in New York Times in a brief interview, then he fought back in his Twitter, “Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes.” He also said that “Hillary flunky who lost big” to satirize Meryl Streep.
