2. He's thrilled--he'll make one of his movies and people will buy it

like it makes a difference. Trump makes him rich. A Clinton presidency would have forced him to work much harder to find something to complain about on film.

I'm not impressed with him at all anymore. After he tried to paint himself as a Woman's March leader, lecturing the crowd about what they have to do, and was tugged away from the mic by Ashley Judd, I've quite soured on his antics.

I don't regard him as a leader in the 'resistance' effort and I don't think he'll motivate a large following (he'll always have die-hard fans). This thing is organic and bottoms-up--no one's waiting for pronouncements from Gods On High; they're working this locally and regionally, and that's great.
