Actor Matthew McConaughey says its time to embrace Donald Trump [View all]

“True Detective” actor Matthew McConaughey thinks it’s time Hollywood embraces Donald Trump. After all, he is the President of the United States for the next four years.

In an interview with ChannelFi, the 47-year-old actor was asked by the interviewer about Trump. “Every single American actor or arty type who comes over to London dumps on Trump. You all completely hate him. Do you think it’s time that maybe Hollywood and the cultural elite of America gave this guy a break?”

The Oscar winner replied, “Well, they don’t have a choice now. He’s our President. And it’s very dynamic and as divisive of an inauguration and time that we’ve ever had. At the same time, it’s time for us to embrace, shake hands with this fact, and be constructive with him over the next four years.”

Why should we "embrace" a racist, sexist, xenophobe, who surrounds himself with those who have white supremacist and anti-semitic views?

Not thanks McConaughey. Maybe you can appear in a Clint Eastwood movie with you and Susan Sarandon. You all deserve each other
