Celebrities are reacting to the speech made by President Donald Trump at Thursday’s press conference.
The press conference at the White House was originally billed as a media briefing on his new labor secretary. But after naming Alexander Acosta as his new nominee, replacing the controversial Andrew Puzder, the president gave a wide-ranging speech.

Trump criticized the state of America, bashed the media and touted the work of his administration as well as his electoral college victory. He also insisted he “inherited a mess.”
“There’s never been a presidency that’s done so much in such a short period of time, and we haven’t started the big work,” Trump said. After his prepared remarks, the president took questions, the first of which was on former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Despite asking for his resignation, Trump insisted Flynn did “nothing wrong” with Russia, and called all the reports linking his campaign and administration to the U.S. enemy “fake news.”
Well, the celebrities took to Twitter to tackle Trump’s press conference. And these tweets were aggressive, to say the least…

I mean. Unhinged. This isn’t politics. This isn’t red and blue. This is reality and insanity. Both sides of the aisle, please protect us.

I can’t laugh about him anymore. It just isn’t funny. I feel genuinely scared about his confusion and egomania. We are in a tailspin.

I’m pretty sure Donald Trump is 99.9 percent capable of being a moron & evil. Let’s talk about access to mental healthcare instead.Thanks.
