Celebrities Have a Lot to Say About Donald Trump’s Inauguration
Celebs have made it clear that Donald Trump was not their pick for president — well, unless you count Scott Baio. They stomached Friday’s inauguration like many other Americans who hadn’t voted for Trump, by speaking out on social media.
Rosie O’Donnell, who’s frequently feuded with the new president for more than a decade, was particularly devastated. She had a dark response to Trump’s inauguration when she changed her Twitter profile photo to a solid black square in what was surely an uncharacteristically subtle protest. Earlier this month, O’Donnell suggested that the country should go to extremes to keep Trump from taking office.
