Streisand: 'Trump wants to be president for life like Putin'

Barbra Streisand

It's a conspiracy!

Actress Barbra Streisand is accusing Donald Trump of wanting to be "president for life" – just like his rumored pal in Russia, Vladimir Putin.

"@realDonaldTrump wants to be president for life just like #Putin," Streisand tweeted Monday in response to a New York Times article headlined "Trump assails Mueller, drawing rebukes from Republicans."

She added: "He only surrounds himself with sycophants, just like every authoritarian in history."

Streisand has a history of tweeting bizarre political statements.

In January, the Hollywood star accused President Trump of deliberately "punishing" Hollywood with his tax reform.

"I don't think it's a coincidence that blue states, athletes, actors, writers, producers, and directors will be punished by this scam of a tax bill, where billionaires get billions, and the middle class gets bupkis (practically nothing) – and an eventual tax increase," Streisand wrote.

She also called for Trump to "be impeached for sheer stupidity" in December 2017.

Collusion or no collusion, @realDonaldTrump should be impeached for sheer stupidity.

And in May of last year, she accused President Trump of the most egregious offense ever – "making me gain weight."

"Donald Trump is making me gain weight," Streisand posted on March 4, 2017. "I start the day with liquids, but after the morning news, I eat pancakes smothered in maple syrup!"
