She joked:

“He is one of the girls. So I was like, ‘Come over.’ He’s also like my daughter. He’s a great father, he’s a professional, he shows up on time, but I wouldn’t trust that he, like, put a coat on. He brings out a very maternal [side in me].”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart respond years later

Stewart and Robert Pattinson, years later, spoke about Trump's tweets. In a 2017 interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Batman actor said:

"I think there’s so many different levels of it. Your identity exists on many different planes at the same time, and they all can be quite different from each other."

Robert Pattinson continued:

"Then he said that [about his breakup with Stewart], it didn’t really mean anything. But I guess now I’m sort of thinking, like, ‘Well, I guess that is related to me'."

He concluded:

"But how does that fit in with all the other things going on in my life? And sometimes you think, ‘Can I use this in my acting? Or should I be putting it away...' It’s kind of interesting, I guess. I don’t know - this could be why people get annoyed with me."

Stewart, on the other hand, used Trump's tweets as content for her 2017 Saturday Night Live monologue. She started with the joke:

"I’m a little nervous to be hosting because I know the president’s probably watching. I don’t think he likes me that much. Here’s how I know: four years ago I was dating this guy named Rob. Robert. We broke up and then we got back together, and for some reason it made Donald Trump go insane."

She continued:

“Now I know what you’re thinking, right? That’s so crazy! The president tweeted about you once! No, no, no. The president tweeted about me eleven times. I don’t think Donald Trump hated me. I think he’s in love with my boyfriend”.

Robert Pattinson concluded with:

“So yeah, that’s crazy, right? The president is not a huge fan of me. But that is so OK, and Donald, if you didn’t like me then, you’re really probably not going to like me now, because I’m hosting SNL and I’m like, so gay dude.”

Last year, in February, she told Rolling Stone:

“Of course he had to weigh in on my tarring and feathering. It’s like, ‘What is this 20-year-old who has no idea about life doing to this man?’ ”

She added:

“F--- you, b----!”
