‘Rocketman’ Actor: ‘Trump Leaves Me Hopeless,’ Fears for Children's Future

On July 25, Variety released an interview with Jamie Bell about his role as a neo-Nazi in the movie Skin. The award-winning British Billy Elliot star who recently featured in the Elton John biopic Rocketman, gave his comments about the current state of racism in the world, believing that white supremacy has been emboldened by President Trump and saying, "Trump leaves me hopeless.”

In Skin, Bell plays the role of former neo-Nazi Bryon Widner, who co-founded one of the fast-growing white supremacist groups in America. For the film, Bell’s face was coated with the violent and racist tattoos that Widner once donned -- a shocking departure from the Brit’s rosy-cheeked child actor days. According to the Variety interview, Bell believes that Widner’s frightening character is much more real than people would like to imagine.

Leading up to the release of the movie, Bell expressed his concern that the film would be “too explosive” given how supposedly prevalent white supremacy is in America. Speaking nervously with Trump’s “racist” tweets in mind, Bell stated:

We live in a world where it’s being emboldened. They’re walking in the streets, they’re in broad daylight, they’re showing their faces [...] Even now, just this past weekend, the comments that this president has made. Today, he’s doubled down on them.

Why dont these white people ever move to non white countries? Well, some do but only to gated american compounds. The vast majority of countries and people on this planet are non white so there are many to choose from. How about Haiti, or the democratic republic of congo? Its a democracy, sais so right in the name

Trump leaves me hopeless.”

hopelessness, helplessness,and fear is the natural result of leftard losers who reject reality, reason, and self-sufficient productiveness

We can rightly blame two things.

The first is the media and their tie in to the Left’s agenda of “racism” claims against Trump. The second is the actor himself and his ignorance for being an image addict of what the media sells, for its political agendas, and well as his ignorance about how much it is political agendas that the media is pushing. The man is not well informed, just well indoctrinated.

Muslim rape gangs operate with impugnity in his native country, and his own government locks people up for their speech, but his big fear is nonexistent white supremacists. Oy.
