Meryl Streep warned that the rise of Donald Trump would bring out the very worst in him and our country.
She should have brought a mirror.
Yes, President Trump can be rude, crude and even smite members of his own party. Just ask Rosie O’Donnell about his blustery tone.
Has he been worse than many celebrities over the past eight-plus years? Has he wished death on his political opponents? Mocked those who nearly died in an assassination attempt?
Attacked children just because they’re associated with GOP members?
That’s exactly what we’ve seen from Hollywood stars. And, since the July 13 shooting, it’s actually gotten worse.
Whoopi Goldberg attacks Kai Trump’s – former president’s granddaughter’s RNC speech: ‘Don’t fall for it’ https://t.co/uV06l4ICrR via @MailOnline

Let’s start with Whoopi Goldberg on “The View.” The far-Left actress mocked Trump’s 17-year-old granddaughter Kai Trump who paid tribute to him at the RNC gala in Milwaukee.
“I know his grandchild was up on the thing and they’re trying to humanize [Trump] and change your idea about who this guy is,’ Whoopi said on Thursday’s episode of the ABC talk show.
“Don’t fall for that.”
Who thinks something so cold about a teen girl? Better yet, why would anyone, especially an Oscar winner, share it for all to see on television?
“View” co-host Ana Navarro doubled down.

Barbra Streisand, in an undeclared race to be as gross as possible following the assassination attempt, said Trump brought it on himself because he’s a “bully.”
“Thomas Matthew Crooks was a registered Republican but as it has been reported he was bullied a lot in school. Trump has always been branded to be a bully. Maybe that’s what motivated him,” Streisand said.
Translation? Trump’s skirt was just too short.
HiT recently covered how actor John Leguizamo embraced a far-Left conspiracy theory that Trump wasn’t injured in the July 13 shooting. “Star Wars” icon Mark Hamill mocked Trump for wearing a large bandage on the ear that took a sniper’s bullet.
Tenacious D (AKA Jack Black and Kyle Gass) had to cancel its current tour and share dueling apologies after wishing the shooter hadn’t missed on that awful day.
Meanwhile, former Mumford & Sons musician Winston Marshall noted the conspicuous Hollywood silence immediately following the shooting.
Stars rush to social media to comment on most breaking-news items. Consider the collective celebrity outcry when the documents case against Trump collapsed this week.
They were noticeably silent following the shooting.
Actor Tim Robbins was one of the very few stars to say something human post-attack.
To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life.
Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged…

And where are the stars steering money to the victims of the attack? Three people besides Trump were hit by the sniper’s bullets. Two suffered serious injuries. One, Corey Comperatore, died while protecting his daughter from incoming fire.
Kid Rock ponied up some cash. So did UFC CEO Dana White. Did any A-list stars cut checks for Comperatore’s daughter?
Remember: Major stars like Seth Rogen and Steve Carell sent thousands to a Minnesota-based bail relief fund for violent BLM activists in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
Streep, considered Hollywood royalty, predicted a wave of hate unlike any we’ve seen following Trump’s election. She was partially right.
She couldn’t predict it would be coming from inside the house.
