Why Hollywood Is Too Exhausted and Scared to Enjoy Donald Trump’s Conviction

The exhaustion is palpable along with the sense that if justice was served, Trump may still end up president, anyway

Across Hollywood, a strange, dazed silence greeted the felony conviction of Donald Trump. 

You might have expected loud and sustained cheering from Beverly Hills to Calabasas to Malibu. But social media was oddly calm among bold-faced names, and the responses in the power suites of the entertainment industry were not what you might expect.  

Among some, there was cynical indifference. For others there was fear that this definitive knock on the former president would fail to move undecided voters. And there was a palpable weariness at anything related to that Orange Guy after nearly a decade of his downward gravitational pull to the gutter.

    I think the best description would be “satisfaction that the system worked.” Jubilation at the verdict is negated by the sadness that all of this could have been avoided if more people had gotten off their lazy keisters and voted for Hillary.

      Hillary -the woman who kept a private, illegal server – the woman who used bleach bit to erase said server after it was subpoenaed? The woman who had her underlings smash their cell phones after they were subpoenaed? Who lied about Benghazi? Who had Bill’s “bimbos” threatened to keep their mouths closed? Who paid for the phony Steele Dossier? Who was the first to question Obama’s citizenship? Yeah, she would have been great.
