Donald Trump on Monday continued his morning ritual of publishing several tweets responding to his critics, this time lashing out at actress Meryl Streep, who criticized the President-elect in her speech at the Golden Globes award ceremony on Sunday night.
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…..

Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never “mocked” a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him…….

“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!

During a speech Sunday night at the Golden Globes, Streep brought up a moment on the campaign trail in 2015 when Trump appeared to mock a disabled reporter.
“It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter,” Streep said in her speech. “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.”
Before responding to Streep’s remarks on Twitter, Trump offered a defense to the New York Times in a brief interview.
“I was never mocking anyone,” Trump told the Times. “I was calling into question a reporter who had gotten nervous because he had changed his story.”
“People keep saying I intended to mock the reporter’s disability, as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing,” he added. “And remember, Meryl Streep introduced Hillary Clinton at her convention, and a lot of these people supported Hillary.”
Saw this last night flipping through the channels. Kudos to Ms Streep.
“I was never mocking anyone,” Trump told the Times.
