Actress Kirstie Alley broke from her Hollywood compatriots Monday and applauded President Donald Trump on Twitter for his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Suffering no shortage of social media scorn, Alley was unhindered in thanking the president directly for his composure, “care” and “boundless energy” in addressing both the ongoing national emergency and American morale in recent weeks.
“Dear Mr. President,” Alley wrote. “I wanted to thank you for [your] recent decorum, sincerity, & care towards us. You’re taking charge & leading in a manner needed & wanted for this country.”
“I highly commend you for [your] boundless energy & willingness to solve problems. Thank you.”
The statement received a deeply divided response from fans, many of whom applauded the actress on her willingness to speak freely in support of the president’s recent efforts to prevent increased stateside spread of coronavirus without greatly interfering with American daily life or further damaging the economy.
A vocal contingent, however, which included fellow figures in Hollywood, were less than thrilled with Alley’s remarks, suggesting the Trump administration had in various ways bungled the national virus response and demanding to know “what president” the actress was seeing on television.
