Actor and filmmaker Ron Howard said Wednesday that many people in Hollywood who have worked with President Trump in the past view him as a “morally bankrupt egomaniac” who is now “hustling” the country. “In the entertainment industry many who have known/worked w/ Trump think that while his reality show was fun and ran a long time, 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,” Mr. Howard, 65, tweeted to his 2.6 million followers.
The two-time Oscar winner was responding to a Twitter user who complained

Hey Opie, "self-serving, dishonest, morally bankrupt ego maniac who doesn’t care about anything or anyone but his Fame & bank account" is the entry-level job description for Hollywood.

Coming from a town full of “morally bankrupt egomaniacs” Mr. Howard's comment was quite misguided. He's the perfect spokesman for the continued fall of the Hollywood money machine and it's self-serving delusional inhabitants.

Good Lord, talk about the pot calling the kettle.....I know nothing about Howard, but the depravity and falseness of Hollywood is legend. And if you asked any of these noisy Leftists any specifics, you'd likely draw a blank. Most of them repeat the Democrat talking points, but are generally poorly educated and ignorant. Consider all of the real good that Donald Trump has done for America and Americans, including millions of minority Americans and compare that to the misery and violence in hundreds of American inner cities thanks to decades of Democrat political control and corruption, there's little question that President Trump is a good guy, a very good guy, and that it is the Democrat political leaders who have done nothing but empower and enrich themselves on the backs of our most needy citizens. The ignorance of the denizens of Hollywood and tens of millions of the Democrats' supporters is pretty shocking.

Someone who's made his living in Hollywood his entire life is calling someone else 'morally bankrupt?' And the only egomaniacs we see are the likes of DeNiro, Alyssa Milano, Bette Middler, Cher, etc. Stick to making movies, Ron.

The town that knew about Harvey Weinstein and not only kissed up to him, but never did anything about him for decades calls Trump "morally bankrupt?" The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

The day Hollywood liberals decry "morally bankrupt egomaniacs," well I guess they have personal experience. Pot, meet kettle.
And I don't think anyone would dispute that Pres. Trump has a pretty healthy ego. Heck, I like the guy (as President), but for 30 years I thought he was a loud-mouth egotistcal yahoo. And he may still be, but give him his due, he's doing a great job.

Ron a bit of advice. Your dip into the delusional world of Trump Derangement with a public announcement such as this just blew off half off your once adoring fans. Trump can care less what your opinion of him is. Take your Oscars and go back to Mayberry and jump in that fishin pond ok, and stay there.

When Mr Trump was part of Hollywood, they were clamoring to get onto his show. Now they're angry because he's not your Hollywood liberal on border issues.

These are the egomaniacs who wanted to be Trump’s best friend until he became President. He has described most of Hollywood perfectly.

Howard presumes to speak for Hollywood, the very indicia of an egomaniac.

To me, Ron Howard was now slid to a big zero. It's best to watch what you say. You have alienated 50% of your fans, at least.

On one hand, if you want experts on being "morally bankrupt egomaniacs", that pretty much describes every Holly-weird lie-beral elitist like Opie there.
On the other hand, there is absolutely no (zero, zilch, none) logic, reason, or facts, to accuse their president, Donald Trump, of living in the gutter like they are!!!!

We see Ron Howard as the egotistical nerd who thought he should have been the star on "Happy Days" but he was beat out by an unknown by the name of "Fonzie." Life is full of lemons, Ronnie.

Actually Ron, I always thought your brother Clint was a better actor. Certainly more entertaining than a truly sanctimonious buffoon like yourself. What kind of out of control ego needs to talk uninformed trash about a President doing a great job, instead of just enjoying all that Chinese money you made for your last movie?
A pampered fool who has made more millions than possible at any other time and place and he whines. Shut you punk and stay out of the sun. You look older than your dead dad.

Opie was responding to a Twitter user who rightly complained about how Hollywood swooned over every little nothing done by Barry. Meanwhile, the rest of us see Hollywood as a festering sewer where directors and other power players routinely trade movie roles for sex with young women and boys.
