People who need pancakes are not the luckiest people in the world - they're the most disgusted with the current state of the world.

Formidable songstress and political activist Barbra Streisand has admitted to letting the current state of political affairs get to her in the most relatable of ways: stress eating.

Streisand, who has previously called Trump, "both dangerous and unfit for office," followed up that initial tweet with another one that reinforces her new breakfast routine.

Barbra, who was predictably trolled by anti-Hillary supporters - vocally (that's meant literally and figuratively) supported Clinton in her presidential campaign.

However, emotional eating affects a lot of people and since these are emotionally turbulent times... eat up, Barbra.

Don't rain on her parade, unless it's raining syrup.
