Well-paid entertainers should chuck arrogant politics
Just a thought for the people in the entertainment industry: Years ago, there were court jesters, now we have people with beautiful voices who sing for us, and actors and comedians to entertain us. In return for their efforts, they are handsomely paid, allowing them to live the good life. Somewhere along the line, they have managed to put the cart before the horse and feel free to use their platform to spew their political views — mostly anti-Trump.
I can’t believe the arrogance of these people. One day, maybe the public will decide they don’t want to be entertained by certain individuals and the money train will come to a screeching halt. Just a thought.
