With the election we’ve been living through for the better part of a year and now with incoming President Elect Trump the lines have been blurred between entertainment and politics. Trump, love him or hate him, is an entertainer.. made apparent by his latest press conference which even CNN called “Raw & Detailed”.
I think we’re in for quite the ride for the next 4 years and should brace ourselves for the impact of a presidency that becomes a focal point of the entertainment world.
Here are a few of the latest quotes from celebrities on President Elect Trump.
The Optimist Ben Affleck
“I didn’t get to watch the entire news conference although what I did see of it, I was quite entertained by. I think it will be an entertaining four years,” he said at the London premiere of his latest directorial effort “Live by Night”
Fearful Chris Messina
“I think we’re all a little scared and we’re going to take deep breaths. Meryl Streep said it best the other night at the Golden Globes. I don’t think anyone can be any more eloquent as her. Yeah, I was sad today. Obama said goodbye. We’re going to miss him,” Messina said.
The Forward-Thinking Aaron Sorkin
“America didn’t stop being America last night and we didn’t stop being Americans and here’s the thing about Americans: Our darkest days have always — always — been followed by our finest hours.” — Aaron Sorkin, in an essay to his daughter
The Survivalists
The Ever Eloquent Meryl Streep
“This instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing,” she said. “Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.”
