Hollywood Reacts To Trump’s First Address To Congress
Tuesday night, Donald Trump made his first address to Congress since taking office in mid-January.
Trump addressed a variety of topics, including immigration, the U.S.-Mexico border, repealing Obamacare, and his plans for “American greatness,” among many other concerns. While making his speech, it didn’t take long for celebrities to grab their phones and tweet their opinions.
Patton Oswalt shared a handful of tweets, writing, “Boy DOES Trump stress THE wrong words.” Many, like Larry the Cable Guy and Billy Eichner, made jokes, while others expressed their anger and tried to call out Trump on his statements.
Here is how some in the entertainment industry reacted to the address:
Boy DOES Trump stress THE wrong words. #JointAddress

Oh shit I shouldn't have pledged to drink every time there's tentative applause. #JointAddress

On Trumps last words, many Dems get up & walk out. Republican applause doesn't even last til Trump makes it to begin his walk up the aisle.

Ho-ass piglet fraud

Pay attention: "Access to healthcare" is not healthcare. I have "access" to Ryan Reynolds. But he's not covering me.

Trump: "I want to… update the Nation on the progress I've made in keeping those promises." — interesting use of I, not we. #JointAddress

Trump paints very bleak picture of country he inherited. Fascinating compared to one Obama described in his outgoing speech. #JointAddress

Donald Trump talks about religion like someone who took one semester of Spanish trying to get around Barcelona.

Too bad Paul Ryan doesn't have white hair. Then him and Pence'd look like those 2 old men hecklers in the muppet.

No mention of the economic effects of technology & automation – only the scapegoated others. A President* frozen in ignorance – a cave man.
