tweets are us

“Thank God for Meryl Streep.  Because she’s stopping the coming nuclear war from happening.”
I think the logic here is that Trump’s attention wanders to tweeting against the latest Hollywood celebrity commenting against him is stopping him from other acts.

Sure enough, we get the “OVER-RATED” tweet from the president-elect.

The USA Today’s “Life” and entertainment section published a piece, which by listing off the many awards and plaudits Meryl Streep has received.  To prove that she is not over-rated.  It’s a misunderstand of the word “over-rated” — by definition, she is rated very highly, and you’re charging that she should not be rated as highly (for whatever reason)…
Frankly, all it takes to be eligible to be “over” or “under” rated is to be RATED in the first place.

At any rate, the main problem with Trump’s tweet (and the problem moving forward) is that it forces one to look at the comment that inspired the tweet in the first place.  Streep took a cheap shot at football, and mixed martial arts, and has an over-rated view of Hollywood… which, last I checked, is about to throw out a whole bunch of new sequels to action blockbusters this year.

There are no heroes in this stupid twit and tweet game.  Even if, surely, Trump is the greater villain.  (Due to the role being played here.  Gad, I must have missed the George W Bush repose to Michael Moore’s Oscar comments.)
