In a new column for Variety, Hollywood and Broadway icon Barbra Streisand rips into President Donald Trump for his destabilizing influence on our country.
In her column, Streisand writes:
"Every morning I wake up, holding my breath while I turn on my phone to see the latest news. I think to myself, 'It can't be worse than yesterday.' But when the news loads, I think, 'Ohhhhh, yes, it is worse.'"
Streisand previously put out an entire album (2018's Walls) which was filled to the brim with attacks on Trump.
She described him in this newest piece as a "one-man weapon of mass destruction," saying:
"We can't go on like this. It's too dangerous."
She wrote that on a daily basis Trump "takes another swipe at the pillars of our democracy, but we cannot allow him to irrevocably change this country."
She finished her essay by saying:
"In this upcoming election, we must bring back dignity and grace. We must care about the facts, the planet, each other and the least fortunate among us. We need a new America, without pollution, without obscenities, without insults, without revenge. We need to restore the nobility of truth … and only then will America be great again."
Twitter couldn't help but agree with Streisand.
Keep it up, Ms. Streisand, you're giving us all hope for the future!
