Twitter Predicts Donald Trump's Response To Meryl Streep's Speech

Meryl Streep’s poised and headline-making takedown of President-elect Donald Trump had Twitter users wondering one thing Sunday night: Which 140 characters would the president-elect use when he responded?

Based on past performances, folks predicted everything from Trump’s response to the time he would probably tweet his message.

Going to bed now so I can be ready to cover the likely 5 am Trump tweet on Meryl Streep. "Terrible Speech!" "Overrated!" #GoldenGlobes

TRUMP 4:46 am: Hey Meryl, more like "The Devil Wears the Jacqueline Smith collection from KMart." I'm a TOTAL billionaire. You're not. SAD!

I bet Donald Trump tweets tomorrow that Meryl Streep is ugly so who cares what she thinks anyway. #GoldenGlobes

Trump proved many right early Monday, tweeting that the acclaimed actor is ― you guessed it ― “over-rated.”

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!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

In addition to his Twitter response, the president-elect made similar comments about the matter in a brief telephone interview with the New York Times, referring to Streep as a “Hillary lover.”
