Hollywood elitist Barbra Streisand made a fool of herself when she weighed in on President Donald Trump’s newly-signed tax reform law Thursday, explaining that she believes the GOP-led effort was deliberately set up to harm blue states, athletes, Hollywood, and the middle class.
The 75-year-old stage, screen, and music icon and frequent critic of President Trump’s blasted the “erratic and disruptive” members of the president’s administration on her Twitter account Thursday, Breitbart reports.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that blue states, athletes, actors, writers, producers, and directors will be punished by this scam of a tax bill, where billionaires get billions, and the middle class gets bupkis (practically nothing) – and an eventual tax increase,” Streisand wrote.
Streisand also slammed the Trump administration for what she called its “abuse of power, the vindictiveness, and the outright lies.”
If you wrote a script about politics today, who would believe it? I guess erratic and disruptive people make good copy, but the abuse of power, the vindictiveness, and the outright lies every day from this Administration are shocking.

Streisand — who recently hinted she would retire from touring — appeared and sang at fundraisers for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the 2016 race and has frequently criticized Trump in media appearances and social media since the election.
Shortly before New Year’s Eve, she tweeted: “Collusion or no collusion, @realDonaldTrump should be impeached for sheer stupidity.”

Streisand suggested during the 2016 campaign that she would move to Australia or Canada if Trump won.
The singer also previously said Trump’s victory had affected her diet.
Donald Trump is making me gain weight. I start the day with liquids, but after the morning news, I eat pancakes smothered in maple syrup!

The response on Twitter was BRUTAL!
To Barbra, $1000 is a haircut. She doesn't get it.

I understand from past media reports that you are quite active in the stock market / hence you should be happy with the current markets upside as @realDonaldTrump tweets has broken new records / he takes full credit – do you give him credit for the record highs ?
