All eyes were on Donald Trump as the newly-elected president delivered his first address to Congress on Tuesday evening.
And, back home, stars from the music and entertainment communities had their Twitter thumbs at the ready, as artists and actors scrutinized every word from the controversial POTUS.
In his first major speech since his inauguration last month, Trump called for an overhaul of the nation’s health care system, hit on boosting military spending and talked of injecting $1 trillion into upgrading crumbling infrastructure. Trump declared: “The time for small thinking is over,” though his words didn’t have the effect he was hoping for across the broader celebrity community.
See some of the best reactions below (Patton Oswalt certainly had a lot to say).
Our President sucks. Good night. #JointAddress

I cannot even tell you how much more scared I am of Trump, Bannon and Miller than I am of the average illegal immigrant
