I dont follow his political stuff but would be surprised if he's really supportive of Trump's dangerous behavior - the media as enemy and all that crap.
Entertainers I like for one reason only, what they put on screen or in music. If they happen to fall in line with my personal beliefs great, if not we can still be friends, I have plenty of conservative even liberal friends whom I disagree with, it's ok.

Yes, I enjoy it when stars get out for their causes and it makes me love them more ; Clooney,Bruce, Meryl....
but it sure isnt a deal breaker.

Stone is putting himself out there by joining the conversation so yes, we can criticize his thoughts on that

But this is a guy who changed war movies with Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July!!
Really brought the conspiracy theorist out in all of us with JFK
His new history of America show - cant remember name- that Ive caught snippets of, doesnt pull any punches either.

So he's not a total liberal, Platoon is still freaking great! and I will be surprised if hes a big Trump supporter a year from now some people just take more timeto come around
