US President Elect, Donald Trump is not the one who prefers silent treatment when it comes to giving back to people who just took a dig at him. During the recently held Golden Globe Awards 2017, Meryl Streep gave a rousing speech where she attacked Donald Trump for insulting a disabled journalist without even naming him. When she won the Cecil B DeMille award for outstanding contribution to entertainment at the function, she accepted it with grace and then she spoke about how the people sitting in front of her are the most vilified section in the whole US, because they comprise of Hollywood and press. She then began to speak of how Hollywood consisted of people from various countries and ethnicities working together under one canopy, like a Viola Davis, Amy Adams, Ruth Negga, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ryan Gosling, Dev Patel etc. and if you remove these outsiders from the industry, then all that would be left for people to watch would be football and MMA. Naturally, she got a standing ovation for this.

She then spoke of how something that happened earlier last year, hurt her a lot and it was the biggest thing to happen last year. She was referring to Donald Trump winning the US Presidential elections, without even taking his name. She continued to talk about the new President Elect, about how he found it prudent to insult a disabled journalist in a public platform, and yet he has chosen to wield the highest power of the country. She said, “This instinct to humiliate when it’s modelled by someone in the public platform by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence.”

Donald Trump later took a dig at her, on his Twitter timeline as he tweeted,

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a…..

Over-rated, huh? He was referring to actress who has the maximum number of Oscar nominations (19, with three awards already in her kitty. Naturally, her fans decided to give Trump a taste of his own medicine.
