Sarandon was asked what grade she would give to Trump for his performance so far.
Said Sarandon: “Oh my God, I would tell him to just start all over again. I don't think we can grade him. I think what he's done that is the most significant, is that by no…unintentionally he has energized….um….he is so bumbling. He's like a character out of a cartoon or something that you can't not be aware of what's going on now. And Bernie Sanders proved that you can run without taking dark money, without taking PAC money. And so you see an enormous amount of people that are using that and are running and winning…like 40 percent more women are running for office and becoming elected…This is a revolution. It may not seem like one…Maybe things had to get so bad before real change actually could happen.”
Responded Messing in a series of tweets: “STFU SUSAN. Oh yes, PLEASE let's give Trump CREDIT. I mean how else are you able to walk out on the street. Convince yourself that that this CATASTROPHE of a President who you said was better that HRC IS NOT ripping children away from parents seeking asylum, holding children INDEFINITELY in internment camps with their new policy, DESTROYING all attempts to protect our environment (yes the water you properted (sic) to care about), endangered animals, taking away women's ACCESS to health care and legal abortion, trying to block POC from Voting with extreme Judges who will support jerrymandering (sic) efforts, not to mention destroying ALL good will and allied relationships across the Globe. Oh, and lest you forget Syria, Crimea, and putting PRO-RUSSIA agenda BEFORE the United States best interests. YES, do go on. And LAUD the effect Trump has had. Out of DESPERATION & PANIC for the DESTRUCTION of the Soul of our country. But you don't want to look at THAT part of the equation. Because then you'd have to admit you were dead WRONG running around bellowing that HRC was more dangerous than Trump. Only a self righteous, narcissist would continue to spout off and not – in the face of Americans' pain and agony -be contrite and apologize for your part in this catastrophe. But, you do you Susan.”
