Barbra Streisand, the Grammy Award-winning singer and actress, publicly shows how much she despises the former president Donald Trump.
The Statesman claims that the Funny Girl has long expressed her extreme disapproval of the previous president. In the event that he won the 2016 election, she even threatened to leave the nation, albeit she hasn’t really done so.

Trump’s lavish spending, such as the cost of a border wall and a security detail for his family when they weren’t living in the White House, drew criticism from Barbra Streisand. She expressed her worry about the financial strain this was placing on the tax payers.
For example, Streisand tweeted in 2017 that “If Trump continues to house family in NYC & vacation at this rate, it will cost taxpayers $526 mill. Arts budget is only 1/4 this cost.”
One more of her tweets, which did not hold up very well, said, “@realDonaldTrump wants to build $22B wall on U.S.’s dime, even as illegal immigration has been declining for years.”
Despite having a net worth estimated by Forbes at $430 million, Streisand is dependent on public assistance to cover the costs of her personal assistant and gardening during the COVID-19 outbreak. This calls into question the distribution of public monies and emphasizes how important it is for people like Streisand to control their own spending.
But as usual, the elites of Hollywood think that everyone else follows the rules, except for them.
Barwood Films Ltd., Streisand’s film production firm, got almost $200,000 in Paycheck Protection Program loans and had them forgiven by the federal government, as reported by the New York Post.
$103,662 in 2020 and $103,127 in 2021 were loans given to small companies to help them during the COVID-19 epidemic in an effort to help with staff retention.

In a responsible manner, Barwood Films used more than half of their PPP loans to maintain payroll, keeping no salary cuts in place. The Small Business Administration was commended for waiving the remaining loan amounts and related interest fees.
In order to defend the funding, Barwood Films claimed that they would maintain six jobs, including one for a “executive support” employee and one for a groundskeeper for $20 million Malibu house owned by Barbra Streisand. The company’s main office is in Streisand’s mansion in Malibu, California. The Post reported on this assertion.
It is clear that during the epidemic, the actress from “A Star is Born” depended on someone to deliver her chai lattes anytime she wanted and was unable to tolerate the ugly sight of poorly mowed lawns.
Even after receiving government funding, Streisand persisted in her harsh criticism of former President Donald Trump.
$103,662 was given to Streisand’s company, Barwood Films Ltd., to sustain six employees. But six days later, Streisand criticized the former president’s spending on Twitter.
“Trump is obsessed with wasting money on his wall,” she wrote. “Maybe all that money should have been spent on testing, ventilators, and personal protective equipment for our healthcare professionals. The virus doesn’t care about the wall that he falsely said Mexico was paying for.”
While companies tried to stay open and America grappled with shutdowns, Streisand was probably having a hard time deciding which of her five stunning houses on her Malibu compound—which were featured in Architectural Digest—she wanted to dwell in during lockdown.
It makes sense why Streisand was so concerned about Trump’s use of public funds.
Streisand believed that her elaborate gardens would benefit more from those dollars than protecting the border for working-class Americans.
