Barbra Streisand says Donald Trump is making her pile on weight.

The singing legend said watching news stories about the President causes her to seek solace in wolfing down pancakes.

Ms Streisand told her 437,000 fans on Twitter: "Donald Trump is making me gain weight.

"I start the day with liquids, but after the morning news, I eat pancakes smothered in maple syrup!"

Her comments came as Mr Trump made unsubstantiated claims that the Obama administration tapped his Trump Tower phones during last year's presidential campaign.

Ms Streisand, 74, followed up her pancake post with another that said: "Trump just accused Obama of tapping his phones.

"Seriously crazy times. Time for more pancakes."

The singer has previously voiced her opposition to Mr Trump, calling him "unfit for office" in an essay for The Huffington Post.
