Without explicitly mentioning his name, movie director Spike Lee criticized the current president at the Cannes festival. While promoting his latest film “Highest 2 Lowest,” Lee, a vocal critic of Trump, was asked about the impact of social media on American values.
Lee hesitated before commenting, jokingly mentioning his wife’s warning to be cautious. He acknowledged the importance of social media while refraining from demonizing the platform, drawing parallels to the criticism faced by films.
Referring to Trump as “Agent Orange,” Lee has been vocal about his disapproval of the president’s actions. He has even compared Trump to Adolf Hitler, emphasizing the severity of the current political climate.
