From Fox News: Anti-Trump celebrities are being dragged into President Donald Trump’s second term kicking and screaming.
Since Trump was sworn in on Monday, outspoken Hollywood celebrities have been voicing their discontent on social media. The industry’s longtime Trump critics – Barbra Streisand, Stephen King, John Cusack and others – condemned his return as well as his first actions while in the Oval Office.
Trump assumed office and hit the ground running, signing many executive orders, as well as making multiple public appearances and speeches alongside key members of his administration.
Streisand has gone on a rampage against Trump on her BlueSky account.
“Donald Trump assumes the Presidency today. Maybe he could show some class and stop selling branded merchandise instead of cashing in on the office,” she fumed on Monday, completely ignoring that Trump successfully created his “branded merchandise” and real estate empire years before he ever even ran for public office.

“Trump is choosing his Cabinet members less on their competence and experience than on their loyalty or perceived appearance for television. His last Presidency was a like a bad reality show, and this one is starting off worse,” Streisand claimed on Tuesday.
