Babs Says Trump Is Making Her Fat — With His Lies On Twitter

Barbra Streisand has a problem with Donald Trump — and it’s getting heavy.

The songbird says the president’s unhinged tweets are making her eat too much when she wakes up and sees what he’s been ranting about on Twitter overnight.

Babs, who spoke an an anti-Trump women’s march on inauguration weekend, told the twittersphere that she is usually good about starting her day with liquids.

Things went from bad to worse when Trump infamously accused Barack Obama of tapping his phone.

That sent the “People” diva heading for the fridge for the pancake mix and syrup — again.

Here is why I'm matching up to $36,000 in gifts to the Forward:

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.

I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.

The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.

That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
