Matthew McConaughey stole the limelight today when he announced that Americans might as well support Donald Trump’s presidency. This he said in the heights of Trump’s new law prohibiting all Muslims from entering the US.
In an interview with Andrew Marr, the actor put on a mellow attitude towards the newly-elected President saying that Americans should give him a chance in his plans. Being the elected president, Americans ‘got no choice now’ and accept the dynamic as well as divisive attitude of the public towards his inauguration.
“At the same time, it’s time for us to embrace and shake hands with this fact and be constructive with him over the next four years,” he said as cited by Yahoo Movies.
The actor further explained that even those who condemned Trump and his principles might think how to be constructive to his administration.
The Dallas Buyer Club actor is one of the few Hollywood celebs who did not turn against Trump unlike what Meryl Streep, Madonna and Amy Schumer who continuously slammed Trump in their social media sites.
America Ferrera, and Chelsea Handler are also one of the Hollywood celebs who participated in the Women’s March, according to EW.
Comedian Amy Schumer, on the other hand attacked Trump for saying that Chuck Schumer (the comedian’s cousin and a Democratic senator) had ‘faked tears’ for the Muslim Ban.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the comedian-actress pronounced that the Muslim ban is ‘unconstitutional and cruel.’ She then urged her followers to take action especially urging ‘sheltered friends’ to participate on a very important socio-political issue.
