Trump supporters slammed the actress for implying that the deadly hurricanes that have hit the U.S. is mother nature's way of unleashing fury on the country for electing a climate-change denying President.
"It's also scary to know, that climate change is due to human activity, and we continue to ignore it, and the only voice that we really have is through voting," she said.
Trump has maintained his stance on climate change through the years. He still believes it is a hoax. Once he even said that the phenomenon is a ploy by the Chinese to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
At the first presidential debate last year, Hillary Clinton brought this up, but Trump denied it. Unfortunately, his Twitter account has evidence of this.
Angered supporters of the President took to Twitter to express their distaste for the actress and her new movie. One user, who goes by the name of I am Trump Army, called for a boycott, asking her followers to let the new movie "sink like a rock."
