Movie Star Politics: Tales of Hollywood 19
Is Chris Pratt a Trumper?
Sometimes I stare at that creep Trump on MSNBC or CNN. Maybe I should like him, as a fellow fat man.
I mean, we haven’t had a fat president since William Howard Taft, who served from 1909–1913.
I should identify with Trump for his lack of pulchritude but I don’t. I truly hate the man.
He makes my father look like an intellectual giant and a font of morality. And what is he hiding between those garish and attenuated ties? Probably not much.
I wonder what Robert Downey Jr. thinks of him?
I am suspicious of Downey’s politics because there is a rumor online that he is secretly a Republican.
Chris Pratt has become my new role model, a fatty who transmogrified into a superhero, but I’ve also heard he’s a Trumper. But I didn’t hear it from him, so it may just be a rumor.
I’ve been studying Pratt’s career. He had been an athlete too, a high school wrestling champion, and he was fat on “Parks and Recreation,” but lost it to play a professional baseball catcher and first baseman in “Moneyball.” And then a Navy Seal in “Zero Dark Thirty.”
