Donald Trump supporters blast Hillary Clinton for her Fire and Fury Grammys skit

Hillary Clinton was on Sunday blasted by a section of Twitterati for her Fire and Fury spoof where she read an excerpt from the book about US president Donald Trump's eating habits.

“One reason why he liked to eat at McDonald’s: Nobody knew he was coming and the food was safely pre-made,” Clinton read in the skit that happened about two and a half hours into Sunday's Grammy Awards function.


Besides Clinton, a host of musicians, including John Legend, Cher and Snoop Dogg, were featured in the pre-taped Fire and Fury segment.

Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. immediately took to Twitter to show his displeasure at Clinton being a part of the spoof. He tweeted: “Getting to read a #fakenews book excerpt at the Grammys seems like a great consolation prize for losing the presidency.” In a follow-up tweet, he added: “The more Hillary goes on television the more the American people realize how awesome it is to have @realDonaldTrump in office.”

Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, tweeted that Clinton’s appearance “ruined the Grammys. Such a shame.”

“I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don’t ruin great music with trash,” wrote Haley, adding, “Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it.”

Haley clearly has issues with author Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury, as it alleges that she slept her way to success. Slamming these allegations, Haley said she finds rumours of an affair with Trump "disgusting."

"It is absolutely not true," Haley told Politico's podcast Women Rule. "But it goes to a bigger issue that we need to always be conscious of. At every point in my life, I've noticed that if you speak your mind and you're strong about it and you say what you believe, there is a small percentage of people that resent that," Haley said. "And the way they deal with it is to try and throw arrows -- lies or not -- to diminish you."

Waste tyres from UK fuel dangerous 'cooking' plants in India: report

MILLIONS of waste tyres from the UK are being shipped to India and processed in makeshift, unregulated furnaces, causing serious environmental damage and health risks to local communities, a BBC investigation has revealed.

The UK produces around 50 million waste tyres annually, with approximately half exported to India under the guise of recycling. However, investigations show that up to 70 per cent of these tyres end up in primitive industrial plants where they undergo a dangerous process called pyrolysis.
