Ron Howard's anti-Trump tweet draws response from Parkland dad Andrew Pollack
Fox News ^ | January 4, 2020 | Danielle Wallace

What is Hollywood filmmaker Ron Howard -- who recently criticized President Trump in a Twitter message -- going to do when the president inevitably wins reelection later this year? That's what Andrew Pollack, father of one of the 17 victims of the Parkland, Fla., high school massacre, wants to know.

In a New Year’s Day tweet, Howard -- the 65-year-old former child star who went on to direct "Splash," "Apollo 13," and a long list of other films -- lamented that President Trump was a "morally bankrupt ego maniac."

Pollack, whose daughter Meadow Pollack was killed in the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School, responded Friday.

“Let’s see here Ron…," Pollack wrote, "President Trump gave up his billion dollar lifestyle to save this country.

“President Trump donates his ENTIRE salary. President Trump was loved by Hollywood before he became a Republican. What are you going to do when he wins again in 2020?”

~snip~

In "Why Meadow Died: The People and Policies That Created The Parkland Shooter and Endanger America's Students," Pollack discusses his views on gun control, why he blames Democratic policies for his daughter's murder, and precautions that parents can take to ensure the safety of their children.

During an interview on "Fox & Friends" in September, he said he had met with Trump five times since the shooting and applauded the president’s initiation of a federal school safety commission to investigate what steps need to be taken to ensure safety in schools across the country.

Thank you Mr. Pollack for speaking out for President Trump, a true American making sacrifices for our nation unlike Ron Howard.

Buy and read Pollock’s book. Then give it to your school board member.

Ron Howard the man who trashed the engineers of the space program in Apollo 13. NASA said nothing of the sort was true.

Politics pit Ron Howard against brother Clint
3:54 PM PDT 10/8/2010 by Paul Bond , AP

Clint is critical of Obama’s policies, while Ron is a supporter

Brothers Ron and Clint Howard may have lots in common: same parents, Hollywood careers that have each stretched for five decades and working together in movies.

Politics, though, are another matter...

Ron Howard regarding President Trump:”...he’s a self-serving, dishonest, morally bankrupt ego maniac who doesn’t care about anything or anyone but his Fame & bank account & is hustling the US,”

Actually, that sounds like a lot of entertainment industry people I read about.

I dunno, Ron Beckenholdt might have taken a history class or something before he dropped out of USC...he must be brilliant, just look at all the movies he’s made.

And if Trump is an idiot because he’s just a billionaire reality TV star (what a Wharton degree) I guess that means Opie who is also a billionaire but has no college degree must be a super idiot.

Ron has lived within the liberal bubble since he was a child.

I doubt he has ever been exposed to any conservative ideas. While he was a so so actor and a good film maker that does not make him an expert in either psychology or politics.

He does however have a right to his opinion. His opinion would carry more weight if they were backed up by any evidence of his charges and not simply talking points provided by the DNC.
