Ron Howard calls Donald Trump a ‘self-serving, morally bankrupt ego maniac'

Hollywood director, Ron Howard, reflecting on his political views, called American President Donald Trump a 'self-serving, dishonest, morally bankrupt ego maniac' in his tweets.

Responding to the critics, asking why most Hollywood celebrities have negative views about Trump, the Apollo 13 director said, “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.”

The 65-year-old filmmaker further responded to the tweets dissing the film industry as “elitists who hate average Americans”. 

He wrote, "Honestly not what I’ve seen or felt throughout my lifetime from the vast majority of people in the entertainment business. In fact, I gotta say it’s the opposite. Most are not from LA or NY to begin with. Now Trump is both an elite and a reality show star."
