【Frivolous Lola】

Despite Donald Trump's distaste for Hollywood gem Meryl Streep,Frivolous Lola the White House has requested to view The Postwhen it comes out this month, and Hollywood has reportedly granted them that request, The Hollywood Reporterreported Friday.

The Post, a Steven Spielberg movie about The Washington Post's involvement with the Pentagon Papers and the U.S. government's coverup of operations in the Vietnam War in the '70s, is scheduled for wide release in theaters, the White House, and Camp David Jan. 12. The movie stars Streep and Tom Hanks, who along with Spielberg have all spoken out against Trump's presidency.

During her speech at the Golden Globes in 2017, Streep called out the Trump administration's toxic stance on immigration and his mocking of a disabled reporter. Hours later, Trump predictably took to Twitter to air his grievances about the 31-time Golden Globe nominee, calling her "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood."

In December, Hanks told The Hollywood Reporterthat if asked to come to the White House for a screening of The Posthe would refuse.

Spielberg specifically told The Hollywood Reporterabout how he wanted to make The Postbecause its story — the Nixon administration's attacks on the First Amendment and the press — resonates with events that are happening today.

Of course, just because the White House is being given the film doesn't mean that Trump is actually going to watch it. Hollywood regularly supplies the First Family with new movies, including the Trump family, but that doesn't mean the Commander-in-Chief actually sits through all of them.

Given the fact that Trump hasn't really tweeted about any recent movie releases probably means that he's too busy doing other things to watch a feature-length film.

But hey, The Postwould probably be a good place to start.
