The ‘Mean Girls’ star defended Trump over the July 4 weekend, and said family members Melania, Ivanka and Donald Jr. are \u00ab\u00a0kind people.\u00a0\u00bb<\/b>
\nThe 31-year-old Mean Girls star responded to a tweet Monday that included a Breitbart News article about Trump\u2019s support for Charlie Gard, a British infant whose parents are seeking experimental treatment for his terminal illness.
\u201cTHIS is our president, \u201d Lohan tweeted in response. \u201cStop #bullying him & start trusting him. Thank you personally for supporting #THEUSA.\u201d
Lohan later responded to another tweet by adding that the president, First Lady Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump and son Donald Trump Jr. are all \u201ckind people.\u201d
\u201cAs an American, why speak poorly of anyone?\u201d she added.
Lohan appeared to endorse former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in February 2016 in a post to her Twitter account.
But in an interview with the Daily Mail in February of this year, the actress called on Americans to unite behind Trump, and urged the president to visit Syrian refugee camps in Turkey to better understand the plight of refugees.
\u201cI want to try to get the word out to Donald Trump to bring him over there, have him see all the positive things they are doing over there and all America can do to help as well, \u201d Lohan told the Daily Mail. The actress has spent much of the past year visiting refugee camps and hospitals, and in January, met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his wife Emine in the country\u2019s presidential palace.
\u201cHe is the president \u2014 we have to join him, \u201d Lohan told the Mail of Trump. \u201cIf you can\u2019 t beat him, join him.\u201d
Lohan isn\u2019 t the only celebrity who has specifically called out \u201cbullies\u201d for criticizing the president and his supporters.
Shortly after the November election, actor Tim Allen said Hollywood celebrities had been hypocritical toward Trump, believing him to be a \u201cbully\u201d while simultaneously bullying anyone who supports him.
\u201cWhat I find odd in Hollywood is that they didn\u2019 t like Trump because he was a bully, \u201d the former Last Man Standing star told then-Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly. \u201cBut if you had any kind of inkling that you were for Trump, you got bullied for doing that. And it gets a little bit hypocritical to me.\u201d
Actress Zoe Saldana also called out her associates in Hollywood for piling on the president, telling AFP in a January interview that Trump won in November because celebrities \u201cgot cocky\u201d and \u201cbecame bullies.\u201d
\u201cWe were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong\u2026 and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises, \u201d she said.
