Celebrities Slam Donald Trump's RNC Speech: 'Not My Voice'
Celebrities are speaking out to slam Donald Trump‘s speech at the Republican National Convention.
The Republican presidential nominee accepted the nomination from his party during the final day of the convention on Thursday (July 21) at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
Some of the things that were pointed out by celebs were Trump‘s quote “I am your voice,” to which the hashtag #NotMyVoice was started, the way that he said the acronym LGBTQ, and how he barely explained how he plans on executing his ideas with policy.
Tons of celebs including Emmy Rossum, Sophia Bush, Olivia Wilde, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dax Shepard, Busy Philips, Amanda Seyfried, and many more spoke out on Twitter during the speech.
Hearing a LOT…. OF….. SCREAMING…. And no plan.

I am actually, literally LOLing at Trump attempting to say the LGBTQ acronym out loud for (obvi) the first time. You're not our ally bro.

Read what more celebrities are saying about Donald Trump’s speech…
Adding "believe me" to every sentence makes me believe you LESS… if that's even possible.

He says LGBT like he has never said it before.
— Emmy Rossum (@emmyrossum) July 22, 2016
I think it's the first time he has ever said LGBT. He keeps stumbling over it.

How much of what Trump is saying is something that truly exists, happens, or has happened…(aka fact)?

With all due respect to the German people, this WOULD sound better in German.

If all one had to do to be a great president was build a wall, ban Muslims, and kill ISIS, your average idiot could handle the job.

Sometimes I think where will I go if he's elected. But this shit is global. Nowhere to run. We have to stay and fight against this!
— Maggie Gyllenhaal (@mgyllenhaal) July 22, 2016
L..G…BB..QT… People…huh?
— Chris Meloni (@Chris_Meloni) July 22, 2016
I feel like every time Trump slowly stops and turns to profile he's hoping he'll be painted.

Trump is like the most amazing hype man for a person of substance who never comes out on stage. LETS HEAR IT FOR CLEVELAND!!!

Eh. Trump's speech sounded much better in German.

Not calling them dim, but I'm pretty sure much of the crowd is misspelling the U.S.A. chant.#RNCinCLE

Finger pointing is a very good distraction from no actual plan.

Interesting choice of an audition monologue.

The most terrifying part of all of this isn't Trump. It's the people who will run with this hateful rhetoric disguised as something positive
