The delivery of the Golden Globes, which occurred last night in Los Angeles, California, was full of surprises. But few moments have lifted the stamp as has been done by the speech given by the award-winning actress Meryl Streep, who received the Cecil B. DeMille award in tribute to her career.

"There was a performance that blew my mind this year," Streep said as he stepped onto the podium. “Not because it was good; there was nothing good in it. But it was very effective and accomplished its mission. It was done with the intention of making the audience laugh and show their teeth,”she said enigmatically.

Streep's comment referred not to a movie or television series, but to an incident in 2015 between Trump and a New York Times report where he allegedly mocked the journalist, who is disabled.

"This instinct to humiliate," continued the multi-lamented actress, "when it is molded by someone on a public platform, by someone powerful, it seeps into everyone's life, because it is like giving permission to others to do the same," assured the blonde, who insisted that press freedom should be defended under Trump's mandate.

Streep's words were received with tears and applause from those present at the ceremony, many of them (as Streep referred) from various countries.

Towards the early hours of Monday, Trump turned to his Twitter account to express himself emphatically: "Meryl Streep, one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood, does not know me but attacked me last night at the Golden Globes …". "[She is a] Hillary flunky (sic) who lost big," she added in a consecutive tweet. "For the hundredth time: I never" teased "a disabled reporter ([I] would never do that) but I just showed him."

In an interview with the New York Times, Trump said he was "not surprised" by Streep's speech. "I never made fun of anyone," he said. "He was questioning a report that made him nervous because his story had changed."

"People keep saying that I wanted to make fun of the reporter's disabilities, as if Meryl Streep and others cared, but I did not do such a thing," he said.

"Remember," he said in closing, "Meryl Streep introduced Hillary Clinton to the [National Democratic] convention and many of those [present at the Golden Globes] supported Clinton."
