Donald Trump truly opened Pandora’s box the moment he stepped foot into the oval office, I’m surprised he hasn’t built a moat of children’s tears around the White House to keep the press at bay yet.
It’s now no longer if Trump is going to receive backlash, it’s when and how much.
Comedian Kathy Griffin and porn star Stormy Daniels stood side by side in a photo this week raising a middle finger to President Trump.
“@StormyDaniels it was an honor to have you at my Boston show tonight,” Griffin wrote after her show Thursday night. “I support you 100%! #F-Trump.”

Daniels later retweeted the photo, thanking the comedian.
Griffin also posted a subsequent tweet showing a photo of her embracing Daniels, who is currently locked in a legal battle with Trump and his longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen.
Thank you so much! #teamstormy had a great time! https://t.co/71AAqyRI0d

The comedian captioned the photo: “Love this woman.”

Twitter users also had quite a bit to say about the situation:
This is a picture of two women who have more courage than the entire republican membership in the House and the Senate.

It's also two examples of how to 'flip the bird'. Some flip the bird like @StormyDaniels, with fingers framing the middle finger. Some flip the bird like @kathygriffin with the thumb holding down fingers while extending the middle finger. I flip the bird like Stormy. #Resist

The photo follows days after Griffin lashed out against first lady Melania Trump over her statement claiming she “hates” seeing immigrant families separated at the border.
“F- you, Melanie,” Griffin wrote. “You know damn well your husband can end this immediately…you feckless complicit piece of s-.”
Fuck you, Melanie. You know damn well your husband can end this immediately…you feckless complicit piece of shit. https://t.co/5NsoFgMuLr

Griffin herself became an early victim of the Trump administration after she posted a photo of herself holding a fake decapitated head resembling the president.
Though the comedian initially issued an apology for the controversial photo shoot, Griffin – who admitted that the backlash had severely hurt her livelihood – declared in August that she was no “longer sorry.” She added the focus should be on Trump’s deplorable actions instead.
Whether you agree with Griffin or not, you’d be hard-pressed to say that her hatred for Trump hasn’t justified itself.
