Donald Trump’s 1-hour-and-15-minute speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday night evoked the dark themes of his campaign — immigration, banning Muslims, American violence — and in due fashion, Twitter erupted.
The Republican presidential nominee was introduced by his daughter, Ivanka, who described him as “colorblind” and “gender neutral.” But her generous words had some Twitter users confused.
“Trump’s daughter just gave a great speech…Who the f— was she talking about?” wrote comedian Marlon Wayans.
The GOP candidate’s speech was nothing short of grim and angry, even at one time looking directly into the camera and saying, “I am your voice.”
Not everyone seemed to agree. Read some of Hollywood’s reactions below.
Trump's daughter just gave a great speech … Who the fuck was she talking about?

I think the true meaning of yelling is when you mute the television and you can still hear someone yelling! #RNCinCLE

If Trump kids are great, then we should give credit to the three mothers who apparently were the primary, day to day caretakers
