Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well.
So, it’s certainly no secret that Hollywood kinda has it in for Donald Trump.
As soon as he became the Republican nominee, celebrities, TV personalities,
and professional victicrats we up in arms, denouncing
him as a racist, sexist, bigot, etc etc, comments generally
based on offhand remarks or out of context quotes.
It seemed they were all but in league with the Democratic party,
which is a valid assumption considering the number of celebs who
aligned themselves firmly and very publicly with Hillary Clinton.
And it was also no secret that they were absolutely
certain that Trump would not win
But then, of course, he did win.
And embarrassed, bruised, with their giant egos in tatters, these celebrities,
the self-appointed moral guardians of the little people, went sort
of berserk.
They were so shocked that even a smidgeon of Americans
didn’t quite dig their grand, homogenised, so-called progressive
plan for the country, that they lashed out like spoilt toddlers who have
been told “no” by their long suffering parents.
And rather than getting more mellow as time went along, which you
would expect since they are grown adults, they actually got worse.
They got more and more hysterical the longer Trump was president,
and it they have shown no sign of slowing down.
The latest rub Hollywood has with Trump is over his fourth of July
Salute to the Nation Celebration, which, according to The Donald,
would be a day to remember.
After Trump announced there would be this strong celebratory
military presence at the event, including some tanks, the celebrity
Twitterati huffed and puffed and picked up their smartphones and
tweeted their displeasure.
Because, of course, everyone cares soooooo much about what rich, deluded, bubble-dwelling
celebrities think about politics, right?
In the spirit of the border crisis, Rob Reiner took the plucked
heartstrings angle, saying “In the face of a
humanitarian crisis, that this malignant narcissist would steal
taxpayer dollars to stage a partisan display of Autocracy to massage
his damaged psyche is nothing short of sociopathic.”
Mark Hamill decided to mock Trump’s announcement, with “We're
going to have a great Reelect ME Campaign Rally on the taxpayers
dime w/ fireworks provided for ME by big donors-all disguised as a
"Salute to America" (& by America-I mean ME) I told you Kim Jon-un
& ME fell in love & if this doesn't impress him-nothing will!
����+ME=❤️#MAGA”
Stephen King deserves a mention even though he’s not technically
Hollywood, stating “Trump’s big military parade?
This is what dictators do.”
And John Leguizamo took a similarly histrionic stance,
with, “Trump said, “he is going to round up families, millions of them
after 4th of July” he sounds like hitler!
And then tanks on parade!
All out of his Nazi playbook!
I worry for the future of America’s soul!”
However, the award for best hysterics goes to, of course, Bette
Midler, “#Trump was bragging about his 4th of July military parade
again today.
Of course, doubtful he’ll march in it.
Bone spurs!!
Let’s call his Independence Day celebration what
it really is: “The 4th of You Lie!”
In other words, it’s a day ending in Y, and celebrities are throwing
their weight around where it’s not wanted.
I’ve always thought celebrities, particularly the really famous
ones, are rather stupid for airing their political beliefs, especially
when they disparage those who disagree with them.
It’s silly of them for two main reasons.
First, because, obviously it alienates half their fan base, probably
more than that actually since the centrists don’t like the political
proselytising either, which I would have though is the last thing you’d
want to do as a celebrity.
And secondly, these celebs are so woefully uninformed and so sadly egocentric, that their
political opinings come across as half-baked at best and nonsensical
at worst.
So, ultimately, they make complete dills of themselves,
as they say in my country.
Nevertheless, many of these Hollywood reactions to Trump do have
some level of amusement to them, particularly the ones who are
being made to royally eat their words now.
So, for your viewing pleasure, here are five of my favourite celebrity
freak outs over Donald Trump.
Bette Midler has cemented herself as one of the chiefs of the anti-
Trump celebrity squawking squad.
In fact, she seems to have tweeted about Trump nearly every day for the past year at
least.
It’s unhealthy.
She has had longstanding feud with Trump that goes back well
before he became the President, which probably explains the extent
of her vitriol and her apparent obsession with him.
She has popped out some Twitter gems over the last several
months about Trump, ranging from narrative limericks to crass
insults about his lovely wife.
Read that Trump once asked aides 4 times if we could invade
Venezuela.
That’s the number of times Venezuela won Miss Universe
during Trump’s ownership.
So, he’s probably been dying to invade something Venezuelan for a while.
TRUMP TWEETS IN ALL CAPS!!
OOOO, I'M SO SCARED!!
IT'S ALL JUST A DISTRACTION FROM HIS TREASONOUS HELSINKI
APPEARANCE WITH HIS RUSSIAN HANDLER!
Trump tells a rally tonight, “My mother made the best turkey.”
I doubt the woman ever cooked a turkey in her
life, unless he means in her uterus.
Who pays the bill for #Trump to wander around the country
spreading his hate?
Who pays for the Secret Service?
Who pays for
Air Force one?
It must cost us taxpayers millions to have him go to
those rallies just to massage his out-of-control ego!!!
But her most recent spat with Trump is even more eyeroll worthy.
In June, Bette tweeted a graphic with a well-known
fake “quote” from Donald Trump, where he appears to state that
if he ever ran for president he would run as a Republican because
apparently they’re dumb.
Now, this quote was well and truly revealed to be fake in like 2016,
but for some reason, Bette didn’t seem to get the memo.
Eventually, she realised her mistake, deleted the tweet,
and posted an apology, saying it sounded so much like him that it
appeared to be true.
Look, I don’t know how someone as obsessed with Trump as Bette
Midler is could have missed that fact that was a fake quote, and
certainly the man himself was not impressed, calling her a “washed
up psycho”, “fake news”, and a “sick scammer”.
Now, to be honest, I am actually a little bit worried about Bette, her
case of Trump Derangement Syndrome has well and truly hit a
critical stage
So, maybe, we should try to get #PrayForBette trending somewhere;
she’s so fond of hashtags it might cheer her up!
Professional victicrat and occasional television star Alyssa Milano
also has a front seat on the anti-Trump bus.
This reached a fever pitch during the Brett Kavanaugh fiasco last
year, when she dressed herself up as someone from The Handmaids Tale
to insist that appointing Kavanaugh as Supreme Court Justice
would somehow lurch America into a rigid fascist patriarchy
where women are forbidden from reading and writing and the
most fertile among them are used in a ritualistic breeding session
once a month.
Anyway, she tweeted this during the Covington schoolboys mixup in
early 2019
The red MAGA hat is the new white hood.
Without white boys being able to empathize with other people,
humanity will continue to destroy itself.
Needless to say, this tweet was no received well, and she was
roundly slammed for it.
And a good thing too, since likening MAGA hats to Klan hoods does nothing other than
dilute the horrors perpetuated by the Klanm, which is disrespectful
to its victims, who Alyssa claims to support.
She is another one afflicted by a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome…but let’s
not pray for Alyssa though, I really don’t like her.
Miley Cyrus deserves a mention here for her extraordinary reaction
to Trump’s win on election night.
Miley was one of those celebrities who cemented herself to the Hillary Clinton
campaign in 2016, she
had so much riding on it, her face was all over it.
So you could imagine just how disappointed she was hen
wher preferred candidate lost…or you can see it for yourself,
because she thought it was a good idea to record and Tweet this
Anyone would think a meteor was heading to earth.
Gosh!
Another special mention for a special speech has to go to Ashley
Judd.
After Trump won in 2016, she in equal parts awed and
confused the planet at the Women’s March by delivering this little
piece of performance art
Was that a poem?
Or some recitative?
Or a type of lucid
dream?
Whatever it was, it was pretty freaking weird.
But the gold star for radical Trump freak out has to go to the one and
only comedienne-cum-self-help study, Amy Schumer.
This incident actually happened prior to Trump’s election,
on Amy’s comedy tour in Tampa, Florida in October 2016.
Footage went viral of hundreds of people walking out of her 10,000 strong audience
when she began to disparage Trump and his supporters.
She started by getting a Trump supporter out of the audience and asking him
loaded questions B ROLL
She then proceeded to say…this
Clearly, as you can see and hear from the crowd’s reaction, none of
this went down well at all.
A few days later at the New York stop of her tour, Amy read out an open letter to her
Tampa crowd, jokingly apologising for offending them, and finishing
it with this
Well…we all know how that turned out
Well, there you have it!
Five of my favourite celebrity freak outs over
the Donald himself.
My, the Trump derangement syndrome is strong.
And the really ironic thing is; for all their Trump-hate, and Hillary
love, and shrieking about how anyone who votes Trump is a racist
etc, they were all instrumental in getting Trump elected in the first
place, because people got so sick of their whinging and self-
righteousness.
And the really funny thing is that they will never, ever,
EVER realize it.
