The Hollywood elite were left reeling as President Donald Trump was officially inaugurated for his second term in the White House on Monday.
The stars of the silver screen expressed a range of negative emotions, from anger and bitterness to sarcasm and desolation.
Jon Cryer, the star of CBS' Two and a Half Men, declared, Americas criminal presidency has begun. Mia Farrow, the renowned actress, expressed her disgust, stating, Nothing to celebrate. Its sickening.
Barbra Streisand, the legendary singer and actress, took a sarcastic tone, remarking, Donald Trump assumes the Presidency today. Maybe he could show some class and stop selling branded merchandise. Mark Hamill, the actor known for his role in Disney's Star Wars, announced his intention to go on a five-day media fast, asserting that Symbolic protest is better than none at all.
As reported by Breitbart News, President Trump took his oath of office in the Capitol rotunda on Monday, vowing to usher in a new "golden age" for the United States.
He pledged to overturn the policies of the Biden administration that he deemed detrimental, including open borders and the expenditure of billions of taxpayer dollars on foreign wars while ordinary American citizens grapple with economic hardships.
The golden age of America begins right now, Trump proclaimed. From this day forward, our country will flourish. He later added, We will be the envy of every nation and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
Hollywood celebrities attempted to stage a resistance on Monday, many of them voicing their complaints from the safety of Blusky. However, their protests seemed routine and lacked impact, especially when compared to their outcry eight years ago.
They resorted to worn-out comparisons of Trump to Hitler, which failed to resonate as strongly as they might have hoped.
Jon Cryer led the charge, echoing his earlier sentiment, Americas criminal presidency has begun. This statement was a nod to the left's legal campaign against Trump, which ultimately failed to prevent his return to office.
Barbra Streisand couldn't resist taking a shot at Trump, stating, Donald Trump assumes the Presidency today. Maybe he could show some class and stop selling branded merchandise.
Stephen King, the acclaimed novelist, also took a swing at Trump, commenting, That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trumps vengeful nature.
Judd Apatow, the filmmaker behind This Is 40, recycled the Trump-is-Hitler narrative by reposting a picture of Elon Musk with his arm raised, ominously stating, Its only the beginning.
Mia Farrow didn't mince her words, expressing her contempt for Trump: A convicted felon who assaulted women, did all he could to overthrow our 2020 elections, lied that he had won, stole our counties nuclear secrets, lied about that & showed them to foreign billionaires. Nothing to celebrate. Its sickening.
Wendell Pierce, star of HBOs The Wire, continued the left's fixation on the events of January 6, a topic that most Americans have moved on from. He wrote, A convicted felon who led a violent insurrection to overthrow the American government where law enforcement was attacked and people lost their lives. He will immediately pardon many who were convicted of crimes on January 6th. I will not participate in revisionist history.
Chris Meloni, star of NBCs Law & Order: SVU, also focused on the events of January 6, labeling Trump an insurrectionist.
Jamie Lee Curtis, star of The Last Showgirl, reposted a humorous meme expressing anger at Trumps inauguration.
Kumail Nanjiani, comedian and star of Disneys The Eternals, claimed that the Trump administration is seeking to take power away from the expert class. He wrote, The main project right now is a coordinated effort to take power away from people with expertise.
Discounting the word of scientists/experts & the rise of AI are all part of the same plan: to strip power from people who are good at their jobs & centralize it up the chain. Then they control us.
Actor Michael Ian Black expressed his despair, stating, So far Im neither shocked [nor] awed. I am, however, very sad.
Despite the Hollywood elite's outcry, Trump's second term has begun. The President's promises of a "golden age" for America stand in stark contrast to the despair and resistance expressed by these celebrities. As the nation moves forward, it remains to be seen how these promises will play out and how the Hollywood elite will continue to voice their opposition.
