Outraged Celebrities Come For Donald Trump On Twitter After He Knocks San Juan Mayor

“Actually, I was asking for help,” she responded hours later, in an interview with MSNBC. “I wasn’t saying anything nasty about the president.”

“I think it’s clear where the ‘poor leadership’ lies,” Lady Gaga added.
