After actress Meryl Streep took President-elect Donald Trump publicly to task Sunday night during the Golden Globes, some in the Twittersphere began betting on the exact time the soon-to-be politician would begin tweeting his pithy wrath at the three-time Oscar winner.

One person that came close to predicting the unleashing of Trump's anger?

Sports personality and former Sports Illustrated editor Jimmy Traina, who wrote that the President-elect would start firing off posts at 6:24 a.m.

Great Twitter betting pool right now would be to predict the exact time of Trump's tweet blasting Meryl Streep: I'll go 6:24am. — Jimmy Traina (@JimmyTraina) January 9, 2017

As it turned out, Traina came within three minutes of being correct:

And OMG! @JimmyTraina was off on @realDonaldTrump's tweet time by only 3 minutes!

Trump actually began posting that Streep was "over-rated" at 6:27 a.m. EST.

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a..... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him....... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

"groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2017

Trump was responding to comments made by Streep during a speech she delivered while accepting a lifetime achievement award. In her comments, she stated that it "broke her heart" to see "the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country" imitate a disabled New York Times reporter. (Trump contends that his actions were misread.)

Streep also added that "when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose."
