Calling her "a Hillary lover," the former reality TV star added he was "not surprised" he had been criticised by "liberal movie people." He claimed to have not watched the award ceremony.

"It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. And I still can't get it out of my head because it wasn't in a movie, it was real life."

Meryl Streep was a supporter of Hillary Clinton for president, also appearing in an October video that condemned Trump for his remarks about women.
