Ironic that Streep cited a fellow actor,  and heaped such contempt upon that actor, after that actor had accomplished exactly what Viola Davis had praised Streep for just moments before - "to make us feel less alone ... using yourself as a conduit ... coaxing them to release all their mess, confess, expose, to live."

Donald Trump pulled off much bigger and more important performances than Meryl Streep ever has.  The characters he brought to life over the past year were not all pretty or appealing, but many Americans are now feeling less alone as a result of what those performances produced, and many other Americans now know their country much better than they did a year ago.  

Streep's zealous raging from her position of power was just as ugly as anything she accused Trump of.  But he could fight back, and if she is now seen as overrated among some of those Americans who do feel less alone as the result of him becoming President, he'll have out-performed her again.
