In a typically out-of-touch remark, Hollywood A-Lister Harrison Ford lambasted Donald Trump in a Guardian interview, labeling him as history’s “greatest criminal” for ignoring climate change and allegedly prioritizing personal gain during his presidency. Additionally, Ford took issue with his attitudes towards energy and mocked President Trump’s disdain for so-called green energy.
Known mainly for his masculine roles in movies like the Indiana Jones franchise, Ford has flown under the radar as a Hollywood leftist. But a Hollywood leftist he is. For example, he previously endorsed Kamala Harris and has repeatedly criticized Trump’s second term for widening inequality, alleging that “rich get richer, poor get poorer.”
Beginning his biased and absurd comments, the wealthy actor said that Trump “doesn’t have any policies, he has whims. It scares the shit out of me. The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket.”
Continuing with the rant, he said that Trump’s attitude towards the climate was incorrect. “It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history,” Ford claimed. Additionally, he said that the president opposed wind turbines because “he has just not seen a gold one,” noting that this stance was “a clear expression of ignorance, of hubris and purposeful subterfuge.”
Claiming to have seen concrete evidence of climate change, the actor said, “I knew it was coming, I have been preaching this stuff for 30 years.” Additionally, the out-of-touch celebrity stated, “Everything we’ve said about climate change has come true. Why is that not sufficient that it alarms people that they change behaviors? Because of the entrenched status quo.”
However, Ford thinks that there is hope for the future. “I’m confident we can mitigate against [climate change], that we can buy time to change behaviors, to create new technologies, to concentrate more fully on implementation of those policies. But we have to develop the political will and intellectual sophistication to realize that we human beings are capable of change. We are incredibly adaptive, we are incredibly inventive. If we concentrate on a problem we can fix it most times,” Harrison Ford claimed.
Pivoting back to woke talking points about Trump and like matters, he added, “Indigenous people are the stewards of much of the remaining standing forests and contain the hope that these precious places can be preserved. The science has proved the value in their preservation but that does not keep them from encroachment, and the protection they are granted is tenuous in some of the countries these assets exist in.”

Ironically enough, given his meltdown over the president, the woke actor claimed not to be bothered by politics. “In politics and in life, you don’t always get what you want, but you get what you get, and you don’t get upset. They teach us that in kindergarten, but they also teach you to fight for what you think is right,” Ford alleged.
Finally bringing his comments to a close, the celebrity said, “Now, because we’ve been disaggregated in this way, we’re having a hard time finding commonality. But if you look at the economy, you’ll figure out where the commonality is — it’s where it always was: Rich get richer, and poor get poorer. And that ain’t exactly right.”
