Celebrities Make It Official: Pick Trump or Us
HOLLYWOOD IN TOTO ^ | 10/15/2017 | Christian Toto

Two prominent stars say what many Hollywood dwellers have been hinting at since Nov. 8, 2016.

For a while one message rang out from Team Hollywood in the Age of Trump. The industry didn’t want you as a customer if you wear a red MAGA hat.

Oh, celebrities didn’t actually mouth those words. Instead, they embedded their disgust for both President Donald Trump and his admirers in nearly everything they did.

- Movies. - TV shows - Late night monologues. - PSAs - Press interviews - Social media

We got the message, even if they didn’t actually say it.

Denver audiences heard it loud and clear when liberal comic George Lopez appeared at the Carousel Ball Oct. 7. The diabetes fundraiser hired Lopez to be the emcee and he quickly launched into some presidential barbs. Trump-friendly booster Greg Maffei of Liberty Media dropped $250,000 toward the cause while asking Lopez to cut the political barbs.

Lopez ignored the request. The booing commenced.Local media personality Ed Greene took over for Lopez as the night’s emcee but not before the comic spat out lines like this:

“Thank you for changing my opinion on old white men, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about orange men,” Lopez cracked. “Listen, it’s about the kids . . . I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America — it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.”

He might as well have said, “if you like Trump, I don’t want you in my crowd.”

Now, two stars are literally saying just that.

Seth Myers and Eminem? They barely qualify as celebrities, legends in their own minds.

They’re too stupid to notice we’re already choosing against them, from the NFL to the movie box office.

The joke’s on them.

We really don’t need any more movies or TV shows, we already have plenty. Besides, everything these days is a remake, anyway.

The only kids with privilege in that school I ever saw were the athletes. They could get away with just about anything and race didn’t matter. For anyone else it was do the work and you’ll get by.

Ultimately it's what you as a person have to offer to the world. Be it looks, money, intelligence, athleticism -- you have to have something with which to present yourself. While there is a white advantage, comparatively speaking, race or skin color doesn't mean a hill of beans if you are mediocre or thoroughly lacking in any meaningful talents.

That’s too funny. And I don’t even like Trump personally - but HE is our only chance.

And George Lopez? He’s as unlikable as Shrillary - maybe worse.
