Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus mocks Donald Trump
Veep actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus starred at the Democratsâ convention as she took aim at US President Donald Trump.
Louis-Dreyfus was the celebrity host for the closing night of the convention as Joe Biden accepted the presidential nomination.
Promotion of the 30330 text address for information on Bidenâs campaign provided fodder for two jokes at Trumpâs expense.
She said 30330 âwould be the presidentâs golf score if he didnât cheatâ.
She also said âan easy way to remember 30330 is thatâs the year Donald Trump will finally release his tax returns. If we all vote, thereâs nothing Facebook, Fox News and Vladimir Putin can do to stop usâ.
Louis-Dreyfus said she was so struck by Bidenâs warmth and kindness when he called after she received a cancer diagnosis that it made her cry.
âOur current president has made me cry, too, but itâs never had anything to do with his warmth and kindness,â she said.
Joe Biden goes to church so regularly he doesn't even need tear gas or a bunch of federalised troops to help him get there

After a segment on Bidenâs faith, Louis-Dreyfus made reference to Trumpâs photo op holding up a Bible after demonstrators near the White House were cleared away for him.
âJoe Biden goes to church so regularly he doesnât even need tear gas or a bunch of federalised troops to help him get there,â she said.
She targeted vice president Mike Pence in a reference to the seeming difficulty â either intentional or not â that some Republicans have had pronouncing Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harrisâs first name.
âI cannot wait to see her debate our current vice president, Mika Pints,â she said. âOr is it Paints?â
Louis-Dreyfus predicted Trump would attack her on Twitter as âa washed-up, horse-face, no-talent has-been with low ratingsâ.
âWell, with all due respect, sir, it takes one to know one,â she said.
