Julia’s hilarious Trump speech: ‘The winner is me, LANDSLIDE’

MANY of the winners at today’s SAG Awards addressed Trump during their speeches — but none quite as hilariously as Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

JULIA Louis-Dreyfus was just one of many stars who used their stage time to speak out against Donald Trump at today’s Screen Actors Guild Awards — but she also lightened the mood with a few jokes at the President’s expense.

Accepting the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role in Veep, Louis-Dreyfus opened with a few well-chosen references to Trump’s tumultuous first ten days in office.

“Whether the Russians did or did not hack the voting of tonight’s SAG Awards ...” she began.

I look out on the million — probably even a million and a half — people in this room, and I say this award is LEGITIMATE and I WON,” she said, referencing the President’s wildly inflated crowd numbers for his own inauguration.

“I’M THE WINNER, THE WINNER IS ME, LANDSLIDE,” she laughed, before leaving the jokes aside.

“On a less insane note ... I want you all to know that I am the daughter of an immigrant. My father fled religious persecution in Nazi-occupied France, and I’m an American patriot, and I love this country, and because I love this country by am horrified by its blemishes,” she said. “This immigrant ban is a blemish and it is un-American.”

Louis-Dreyfus wasn’t alone in admonishing Trump and his ‘Muslim ban’ executive order barring refugees immigration from seven Middle Eastern countries into the US.

Host Ashton Kutcher began by declaring himself a “citizen of the world.”

“Good evening everyone at home, and everyone in airports that belong in my America. You are a part of who we are, and we love you, and we welcome you,” he told audiences at the start of the ceremony.

Bryan Cranston offered some advice for Trump when he took to the stage to accept an award: “Don’t p**s in the soup all of us gotta eat.”

Perhaps the most affecting speech came from Moonlight actor Mahershala Ali, who choked back tears as he spoke of his own conversion to Islam some 17 years ago, and how he and his Christian mother were able to stay close despite their religious differences:
