Well, if reality show stars can run for president, seems fair for actors to comment on it.

There is a difference when you reach certain level IMO. The thing is this is just as much abuse of power to influence a certain group as anything else. Especially when the game is not as black and white, as it currently stands. And in all honesty this one minute long video was nothing more then sensless smearing. This should not have to influence anyones opinion, but hey, he is a fairly successfull rich american actor, so it will.

Yeah, it's almost like, you know, political campaigns. You can flip that argument as well. If you are in a position of influence, and you percieve danger but remain silent, that's irresponsible. There's a saying that goes something a long the lines of, "All evil needs to triumph is for good men to remain silent." Although I agree that his message in iteself shouldn't sway anyone. Because he doesn't explain his reasoning. I think it should inspire people to do proper research on the subject, and reach their own conclusion.

Thats exactly my problem. When you spew out this ammount of low-level garbage as Deniro (nothing is better than what Trump usually states) did, you kindoff abuse your position, by simply expecting people to go along with it "because I have the power to influence ona superficial leve". There are no facts there, just imature, low-level trash talk. And thats not how politics should work.
