It's so predictable that it kind of already falls into a routine.
Someone criticises Donald Trump overnight, Donald Trump wakes up — at around 5 a.m. EDT — gets angry and launches a 140-character Twitter tirade against that someone.Â

Trump had already called Streep "a Hillary lover" in a short but revealing interview with the New York Times. But naturally he couldn't resist a Twitter storm:Â
Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a.....

9 Golden Globes, 3 Oscars, 2 Emmys, 2 Bafta awards... Meryl Streep is NOT overrated.

So predictable was Trump's tweet, that people anticipated it last night:Â
Going to bed now so I can be ready to cover the likely 5 am Trump tweet on Meryl Streep. "Terrible Speech!" "Overrated!" #GoldenGlobes

Can't wait for Donald Trump to tweet about how Meryl Streep is overrated

While others noted that it took a loooong time for Trump to type between the tweets:Â
