Matt Damon slams Donald Trump at MIT commencement
CNN ^ | June 3, 2016 | Chloe Melas

Matt Damon returned to MIT, but this time he wasn't mopping the floors. The 45-year-old actor delivered his first-ever commencement address for MIT's class of 2016 Friday, and wasted no time in slamming GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

To do that Damon got pretty trippy, citing what he says is a real scientific theory that we all might just be living in a simulated reality created by more intelligent forms of life in the universe. His question: "How come we have to be in the reality that Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee for president -- can we transfer to a different one?"

If the Hollywood bimbos are against Trump, that’s all the more reason to support him!

I would have booed and walked out. I don’t care if he was talking in favor of Trump or slamming Hillary or Bernie. I would have booed and walked out. It is not the place for that. What a jerk.

He was abandoned by his fellow astronauts on Mars. He was injured but they said “ah it’s just Matt Damon” and they left him on Mars.

It really is horrible. My Uncle was an Engineering grad from Harvard. He’d be spinning if he could see it now. Yet the indoctrination can force a college to not host a conservative speaker on campus. Where’s the inspiration anymore?

The only movie I liked him in was “Rounders”.For anyone who plays poker that was entertaining.

Imagine sending your kid to MIT for 4 years and having his graduation ceremony keynoted by an aging left wing liberal actor delivering a political campaign speech.

Really something to inspire, yes?

I’ve had 2 graduations - the undergrad commencement speaker was James Michener and the grad commencement speaker was Armand Hammer
Politics was not the theme

This is unthinkable. This dolt actor delivering a commencement speech at MIT? What the hell is happening? What’s next — Miss Piggy speaking at Yale? (Actually that might make sense on some level.)

Damon’s mother was a big antiwar activist during Vietnam. He is also a big supporter of the teacher’s union and the mess they have made of public schools although he was a bit embarrassed when he was confronted in public with the facts that his children attend expensive, exclusive private schools. Typical Hollywood hypocrite.

Howard Zinn was one of my professors way back when.

We used to derisively refer to him as "Chairman How".

"This world has some problems that we need you to drop everything and solve," he said. "So go ahead take your pick from the world's worst buffet: economic inequality that's a problem, how about the refugee crisis, massive global insecurity, climate change, pandemics, institutional racism ..."

He forgot to add Hollywood celibtards...

Much bigger problem than anything he listed...

Matt Damon addressing a commencement at MIT is like a pig teaching Sunday school.
