In a new interview between the candid [_Mother!_ ](http://time.com/4929183/michelle-pfeiffer-mother-jennifer-lawrence/)actress and mother of all interviewers Oprah Winfrey, the two screen personalities covered everything from Harvey Weinstein to Lawrence’s upcoming projects and [nude photo hack](http://time.com/5033679/jennifer-lawrence-nude-hack-icloud-fappening/). But things got especially heated when Winfrey mentioned Trump. After asking if Lawrence had an interest in meeting the President, Lawrence had a sharp comeback. “I think so. I’ve got a pretty good speech. And it ends with a martini to the face,” [Lawrence told Winfrey](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/jennifer-lawrence-interview-by-oprah-winfrey-1064576). “I have something to say for all of them. I watch different characters on the news, and I’m like, ‘You just wait.'” She continued: “Oh, my God, I’ve been waiting for this moment. I’ll give you a hint — it’s not nice. You wouldn’t want me to say it to you.” Looks like her position on the occupants of the White House is clearly a critical one. The two were in conversation for [_The Hollywood Reporter_](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/jennifer-lawrence-interview-by-oprah-winfrey-1064576), as Lawrence was receiving the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, which Winfrey had also been honored with in the past. They’re now fast friends, too: they first hung out at a three-and-a-half hour chat session at Winfrey’s California estate, but have been texting and sharing book advice ever since. “We drank rosé, and we laughed, and we talked about everything,” Winfrey said of meeting Lawrence. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5053969/jennifer-lawrence-trump-oprah/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5053969/jennifer-lawrence-trump-oprah/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence Would Like to Throw a Martini at President Donald Trump's Face","datePublished":"2017-12-07T17:18:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:24.486Z","description":"\"I've got a pretty good speech.\"","url":"https://time.com/5053969/jennifer-lawrence-trump-oprah/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Jennifer Lawrence","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt28b8fe5a609cf8b4/6988f43097cdff06576b38b4/jennifer-lawrence.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt28b8fe5a609cf8b4/6988f43097cdff06576b38b4/jennifer-lawrence.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ENTERTAINMENT-US-FILM-GOVERNORS AWARDS-ARRIVALS","caption":"ENTERTAINMENT-US-FILM-GOVERNORS AWARDS-ARRIVALS","creditText":"VALERIE MACON—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5053969/jennifer-lawrence-trump-oprah/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence Would Like to Throw a Martini at President Donald Trump's Face"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Jennifer Lawrence Interviews New Best Friend Kim Kardashian West","description":"Jennifer Lawrence Interviews New Best Friend Kim Kardashian West","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/veUCyw00/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-11-03T21:17:40.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/veUCyw00.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5053969/jennifer-lawrence-trump-oprah/","duration":"PT1M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5053969/jennifer-lawrence-trump-oprah/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
