Barbra Streisand calls Trump a 'one-man weapon of mass destruction' in scathing op-ed

Barbra Streisand has penned a scathing op-ed about Donald Trump, calling him a “one-man weapon of mass destruction” and condemning him for his “breathtaking ignorance”.

The column, published in Variety on Super Tuesday as millions of Americans took to the polls, saw the performer take aim at Trump’s handling of coronavirus, climate change and Russian interference.

She opened the piece by riffing off Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” by declaring that the country “was great before” he took office 2016.

“Every morning I wake up, holding my breath while I turn on my phone to see the latest news,” she wrote. “I think to myself, ‘It can’t be worse than yesterday.’ But when the news loads, I think, ‘Ohhhhh, yes, it is worse.’”

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and wonder "what stupid shit will Trump do today?"

Well, after I start the coffee, of course! And I go on various news sites to see what moronic thing The Orange One has done so far this morning.

I am looking forward to going back to NOT turning my phone on first thing in the morning - knowing that we have a sane and capable President in the White House. Remember those days?

I said I used to wake up and wonder, "did he do/say/tweet something stupid today." And now I ask, "what stupid thing did he do/say/tweet today."

Someone called me a defeatist, or something along those lines.
