Prior to the November election, American celebrities threw enormous support behind Hillary Clinton. Whether it was Leonardi Di Caprio, Ellen De Genres, Beyonce or Jay Z, a plethora of celebrities all lined up at varying stages to support the Democratic candidate.
But despite this celebrity establishment unified in their opposition to Donald Trump, their anointed candidate lost.
This result shocked many, but for millions of average American voters, the smug nature of celebrities contributed to Clinton’s downfall, as she was perceived to be detached from ordinary people.
But while some celebrities have learnt their lesson on how not to condescendingly lecture the masses on politics, it appears that some including Meryl Streep, have not.
“Golden Globes: Meryl Streep attack Donald Trump in speech”, bbc.com, January 9, 2017:
Actress Meryl Streep strongly criticised US President-elect Donald Trump as she received a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes.
Streep”s speech just doubled down on the disdain the Hollywood elites have for the average American. If there was any doubt about it, it was on full display during her speech and Fallon’s snide remarks during the show. Unfortunately for the viewing public, Ms. Streep seems to believe her own press that she is the goddess of Hollywood and therefore all should kneel before her.
By the way, did you realize that Streep rhymes with creep. Just sayin……..
That’s exactly right. But honestly, I like it because it only helps trumps chances for 2017!
