Trump on the silver screen, again?
Academy Award winner Woody Allen praised Donald J. Trump, and said that he’d love to have him in his next movie.
Yes. You read it right. The liberal movie director committed the ultima faux-pas in Hollywood: he was sympathetic to ‘dictator’ Trump, a man every ‘artist’ seem sworn to hate.
Variety reported:
“During a recent appearance on Bill Maher’s ‘Club Random’ podcast, the four-time Oscar winner said Trump was ‘a pleasure to work with’ when he appeared in his 1998 film ‘Celebrity’, and that he’d be happy to work with the president again if given the chance.
‘I’m one of the few people who can say he directed Trump. I directed Trump in [‘Celebrity’]’, Allen recalled. ‘He was a pleasure to work with and a very good actor. He was very polite, hit his mark, did everything correctly and had a real flair for show business. I could direct him now. If he would let me direct him now that he’s president, I think I could do wonders’.”

Trump plays himself in a short scene, filled with self-deprecating humor, where Trump tells the reporter, that he will tear down St. Patrick’s Cathedral and build a ‘a very, very tall and beautiful building’.
Of course, Allen had to disavow Trumps policies.
“Allen added, ‘I disagree with many, almost all, not all, but almost all of his politics, of his policies. I can only judge what I know from directing him in film. And he was pleasant to work, and very professional, very polite to everyone. Very, you know, as I say, I would like to direct him now as president and let me make the decisions. But that’s not gonna happen’.”
