Students’ thoughts on Meryl Streep vs. Donald Trump.
Brandon Delaney
"I think both were wrong in what they did, they should be saying positive things."
Krissy Bogolawski
“People should be allowed to express their feelings. And although I don't care for either Trump or Streep I think they should both respect each other because they are both people who are admired and have many followers and with such a big fan base they should really be more mindful of what they say.”
Sarah Silva
“ Donald Trump is always wrong, I strongly dislike him. He shouldn't have even responded in the first place but considering the fact that he did, he should've done it in a more presidential way, I mean hes going to be our president in a few days.”
Caio Rodriguez
“In terms of being a human being and being the president, with the things that he says he should have more compassion. I don't agree with either but they should both be more mindful human beings.”
Shivani Patel
"I think Meryl Streep was right because Trump needs some sort of reality check as he keeps treating people inferior to him."
Kevin Cordero
“He’s ignorantーhe has no knowledge of a politician, he’s more of a business than more of a political figure. He just doesn’t really think of what he says.

Alex Avila
"She called him out first, so him responding shouldn’t be that big of a deal. But since he is the president-elect, he shouldn’t have responded in the first place, there was no point and he was just being petty."
Alyssa Custodio
“I strongly disliked Trump prior to this incident, he’s rude for mocking a disabled reported, doesn’t think before he speaks. He is about to be president so he needs to be more professional about what he says/tweets. It was a good way [for Streep] to get it across to people (her message of disgust towards Trump’s win) since she had a big audience.” ...
Gabriel Bomfim
I feel like your responsibility as a president you should have restrictions on what you say. He should have handled the situation more professionally.
Priscilla DeSousa
“I never liked Trump. He’s immature and doesn’t know how to handle anything. He shouldn’t be a politician since he has no experience whatsoever. I knew of her before this, she is not a bad actress so I don’t understand why Trump is calling her out. What Trump said was just because she called him out in the first place.”
