Actress Meryl Streep urged Americans to support a free press
that will “safeguard the truth” on Sunday. The actress, who received Golden
Globe award came for Donald Trump without mentioning his name in her speech. She
recalled the joke Trump made of a disabled reporter during his campaign by
imitating him.
"There was one performance this year that stunned me. It
sank its hook in my heart not because it was good. It was ‑‑ there
was nothing good about it, but it was effective, and it did its job. It made
its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the
person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a
disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power and the capacity to
fight back," Streep said, referencing Trump’s mocking of disabled New
York Times reporter Serge F. Kovaleski.
However, trump did not allow her remark to lie low, as he
took to Twitter to reply her, saying:
"The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on
building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later!
"Dishonest media says Mexico won't be paying for the wall if
they pay a little later so the wall can be built more quickly. Media is fake!" he tweeted.
