Trump blasts Meryl Streep after Golden Globes speech

AND RIGHT ON CUE




Trump blasts Meryl Streep after Golden Globes speech




Meryl Streep's Passionate Golden Globes Acceptance Speech
President-elect Donald Trump is firing back at Meryl Streep after the actress used her acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes to scold him for mocking a disabled reporter during the presidential campaign.

“Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes,” Trump tweeted, noting that Streep had campaigned for his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

“She is a Hillary flunky who lost big,” Trump wrote.

He does not know that the same mechanism that allowed him to repeat his lies until they sunk in is the same mechanism that will make shit like this sink in and destroy him.

And we will laugh our asses off-- if he doesn't destroy the nation first.

There was that thing about not picking a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel-- now it's owning TV time. Lots of TV time.

It was a very good book. But his acting in the film was so horrible I almost couldn't watch it.

Plus the film left off the really significant other half of the title... "....And Young."

Of course that wasn't his fault.

It's gotten to be like a 3-year-old having his daily temper tantrum.

The "blastees" are probably printing and framing them as a badge of honor by now.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse used by narcissists in order to instill in their victim’s an extreme sense of anxiety and confusion to the point where they no longer trust their own memory, perception or judgment. The techniques used in “Gaslighting” by the narcissist are similar to those used in brainwashing, interrogation, and torture that have been used in psychological warfare by intelligence operative, law enforcement and other forces for decades.

The intention is to, in a systematic way, target the victim’s mental equilibrium, self confidence, and self esteem so that they are no longer able to function in an independent way. Gaslighting involves the abuser to frequently and systematically withhold factual information from the victim, and replacing it with false information. Because of it’s subtly, this cunning Machiavellian behaviour is a deeply insidious set of manipulations that is difficult for anybody to work out, and with time it finally undermines the mental stability of the victim. That is why it is such a dangerous form of abuse.

“I’m concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep’s is inciting people’s worst instincts,” Conway said.

Really? not the guy who has accepted and encouraged Bigots?

He's hilariously predictable: his designated target is always a "loser." Of course, Meryl Streep is anything but a loser, and everybody knows that.

What a pathetic wanker. He shows is true colors (besides orange) every time he tweets.
