Part 2/7:
Richard Gere's Out-of-Touch Remarks
Hollywood added another layer to the left's responses, particularly with actor Richard Gere's comments at the Goya Awards in Spain. Gere expressed shock that Trump was elected, revealing a stark disconnect from the sentiments of many Americans. His belief that Trump supporters felt betrayed by the president's promises only highlighted a lack of understanding of Trump's popularity amidst his base. The actor's musings on the political climate compared the United States to Hungary, suggesting an authoritarian shift, while neglecting to recognize the substantial financial backing the Democratic party receives from billionaires.
