Woman who cleaned Trump Hollywood star ridiculed on Twitter
A woman inspired a barrage of mockery from the internet for posting images of herself scrubbing President Donald Trump’s star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
Makenna Greenwald decided to give Trump’s much-vandalized star a good scrub, and took the time to pose for a few pictures while doing it. She posted them to Twitter, saying, “Stopped to clean @realDonaldTrump Hollywood Star. Nothing but respect for MY President. #RaisedRight.”

Despite the avalanche of abuse her good deed prompted, Greenwald was praised by the likes of the president’s son, Eric, and Fox News host, Sean Hannity, when she first shared the tweet.
Thank you Makenna! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 https://t.co/2JL6xTSI4C

Wow. Great American. @CNN@NBCNews@JoeNBC (who calls the @POTUS a schmuck, liar, goon etc.). Watch and learn what respect for the office is https://t.co/2m8aUVlBUd

It wasn’t long before creative tweeters were inspired to share their own cleaning efforts, with many choosing the likes of Alec Baldwin, Meryl Streep and even Harambe as their preferred president.

It didn’t stop there though, with Greenwald’s choice of hashtag – ‘raisedright’ – used by some to show how their upbringing engendered values which stood in contrast to many of the president’s more controversial views.

My parents taught me to oppose bigotry, respect the Constitution, & stand up to sexual predators. I was #RaisedRight. That's why I #resist.

My Dad is a conservative and didn't vote for Trump and supports Planned Parenthood. #RaisedRight

My mom showed me the strength of women while my dad showed me how to love and respect them. Unlike the @realDonaldTrump, I was #RaisedRight

Others took the opportunity to highlight Trump policies or viewpoints they believe are neither clean nor in line with the behavior of a well-raised person.
hi makenna

i just want to let you know that YOUR president also instituted a ban that separates families away from each other
Hi Makenna! I have life threatening asthma and am alive as a result of Obamacare. I want to know your feelings on Trump's healthcare bill.

Makenna, is this a thing you do routinely for men who sexually assault other women and rip off people who work for them? I'm sure you meant
