Hollywood elites have spent years calling Trump every name in the book. The steady stream of vitriol from Tinseltown toward our president has been nothing short of astounding. These wealthy, privileged celebrities have made careers out of portraying Trump as Hitler reincarnated, a fascist dictator bent on destroying America, and even a “mass murderer.”

And it wasn’t just Trump they attacked. These same Hollywood figures smeared the millions of everyday Americans who supported him as racist, deplorable, Nazi sympathizers, and worse. No insult was too extreme, no comparison too outlandish for these coastal elites to hurl at half the country from their gated mansions and private jets.

Now, in a twist that you couldn’t script better if you tried, these very same Trump-haters are desperately pleading for his help! That’s right – the same celebrities who compared Trump to history’s worst dictators are now begging his administration to save their careers from the threat of artificial intelligence. You really can’t make this stuff up.

From ‘Breitbart News’:

“Hollywood celebrities took a break from calling President Donald Trump a fascist, a con man, mass murderer, and a dictator to sign a letter begging his administration to help them combat artificial intelligence. The letter, signed by more than 400 members of the entertainment industry, asked the administration to refrain from rolling back copyright protections they say would allow AI companies to ‘exploit’ their work.”

Yesterday’s “Fascist,” Today’s Savior

The letter, bearing signatures from more than 400 entertainment industry figures, suddenly discovered that America isn’t such a fascist dictatorship after all when their paychecks are threatened. These celebrities are now asking Trump’s Office of Science and Technology Policy to maintain copyright protections that prevent AI companies from using their work without permission.

Let’s consider a few of these hypocrites, shall we? Film director Judd Apatow, who called President Trump a “mass murderer,” signed the letter. Actor Mark Ruffalo, who just this week claimed Trump is “marching to dictatorship,” is now happy to beg for Trump’s help. Ben Stiller, who celebrated Trump being banned from social media platforms, also signed on.

Perhaps most incredible is Bette Midler’s signature. This is a woman who wished for someone to “shiv” or “stab” the President, spent years “incessantly attacking” him, and even suggested Biden should “arrest Republicans” and “allow FBI to use deadly force” to regain a Democratic House majority. But now she needs Trump’s help, so bygones be bygones, right?

Principles for Sale: Going Once, Going Twice…

In their desperate plea, these celebrities suddenly remembered the importance of American exceptionalism and property rights – values conservatives have championed all along. Their letter states, “We firmly believe that America’s global AI leadership must not come at the expense of our essential creative industries.”

Wait a minute – America is a global leader? The same America these celebrities regularly trash as systemically oppressive and fundamentally flawed? How interesting that they’re now praising “America’s cultural influence abroad” and our “fundamental respect for IP and copyright that rewards creative risk-taking by talented and hardworking Americans.”

The letter was written in response to OpenAI and Google arguing that U.S. copyright law should allow AI companies to train their systems on copyrighted material without permission. Suddenly, Hollywood is concerned about corporations exploiting creative work – though they had no problem exploiting Trump’s character for years of cheap applause lines and social media likes. Isn’t it amazing how quickly their principles shift when their own wallets are affected?

The Red Carpet of Convenient Amnesia

The parade of hypocrisy doesn’t end there. Ava DuVernay, who has spent years disparaging both President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, signed on. So did Ayo Edebiri, who just last week called Elon Musk (the head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency) an “idiot” and a “fascist.”

Natasha Lyonne, who recently went on a “bizarre rant” about a supposed “death toll” in America under Trump, is now hoping the President will overlook that little outburst and come to her rescue. It seems that when their livelihoods are threatened, all that principled opposition to the “dangerous dictator” goes right out the window.

These celebrities amusingly took a break from calling America a fascist dictatorship to remind the Trump administration that the U.S. is actually “a global cultural powerhouse.” It’s amazing how quickly their perspective changes when their bank accounts are at risk! What happened to all those threats to move to Canada if Trump won the election? I guess those principles had an expiration date – right around when AI threatened to replace them.

Key Takeaways:

• Hollywood celebrities who spent years viciously attacking Trump are now begging his administration for help with AI copyright issues.
• The entertainment industry only remembers American exceptionalism and property rights when their own financial interests are threatened.
• This blatant hypocrisy reveals how quickly liberal elites abandon their “principles” when they need something from those they’ve demonized.
