When I woke up this morning, there was a NY Times story where they had gotten a comment from Donald Trump about Meryl Streep’s speech at the Golden Globes where she blasted him in a long 5-6 minute speech.
But there were no tweets! Where were the tweets? Sure enough, he couldn’t hold out, and before he had any coffee (or after), he went after Streep on Twitter:

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!

A. As annoying as Streep is, she is hardly an “overrated” actress. Trump does this all the time. If somebody criticizes him, he tries in vain to tear them down no matter how successful they are. If Streep praised him, he’d call her the greatest actress of all time.
B. Yes, he did mock a disabled reporter. He continues to deny this, and he does because so many of his sycophants defend him.
Trump’s going to look great tweeting these kinds of things under the @POTUS account after he is sworn.
