Long time Trump critic Barbara Streisand on Saturday posted a
disturbing image of what appears to be a tiny Donald Trump being impaled by
giant female heels with one of the shoes labeled Pelosi.
The cartoon showed what appeared to be blood
dripping from the impaled miniaturized Trump. The post was however not
Streisand’s first attempt at criticizing the president.
The image was coming a day after Speaker Pelosi and other
Democrat House leadership walked out of the White House in protest against
President Trump’s refusal to act in the face of Turkey’s aggression in Syria on
Wednesday.
Interestingly, in his
own account of the event, Trump shared a picture of the meeting and captioned
it, ‘Nervous Nancy’s unhinged meltdown!’
Streisand shared the image without a caption. However, the
disturbing photo drew a lot of reactions from both the anti and pro Trump
camps.
Actress Mindy Robinson tweeted, ‘It’s fitting it features a
pair of highly overpriced designer shoes seeing how you rich, hypocritical,
leftist elitists think you know better than everyone.
‘Anyway, I can’t wait for you Libs to lose your mind in the
upcoming Trump 2020 landslide you helped create.’
Another pro-Trumper, Kambree Kawahine Koa asked, ‘Why do
liberals always promote violence but then condemn it?’
On the other hand, people have voiced their support for the
leftist singer-songwriter, with some arguing the cartoon is harmless and
hilarious – a humorous take on the President’s impeachment saga.
‘If this is offensive to some, [it is] no less offensive
what Trump is doing to the country we live in and the world. Someone
needs to have the heels to pierce through this madness,’ a Twitter user wrote.
Another said, ‘Streisand, you will always be one of my
favorite performers, actors, singers. Thanks for helping to fight the good
fight for the greater good… Celebs can move mountains. You go, girl!’
In a twitter tirade that came after President Trump’s post on
the event at the White House, Streisand went on the offensive sharing a series
of tweets including an article with an image of a giant peach crushing what
seem like President Trump.
She captioned the tweet, “One may argue about a narrow or
broad impeachment resolution but Trump has committed multiple impeachable
acts.”
She called the President, the ‘moron-in-chief’ on Saturday
morning in one of her tweets to her over 620,000 followers.
‘Our moron-in-chief seems to not know that there have been
other female astronauts. He’s too busy tweeting to read up on America’s
history,’ she tweeted.
The gruesome cartoon came on the heels of an ad posted on a
billboard in NYC’s Times Square showing a female model hog-tying a Trump
look-alike with red, white and blue rope.
The President’s son, Donald Trump Jr. ripped apart Streisand’s post, “Looking forward
to the media outrage like when someone shared a cartoon meme to 8 people
depicting media violence. But seriously, who are we kidding? Their outrage only
flows one way,” he wrote.
