Against the backdrop of the tension prevailing in the US and the political polarization that is increasingly being transferred to major cultural events, Mark Ruffalo gave the "signal" the other day for a new round of public attacks against Donald Trump.
At the 2026 Golden Globes, the actor did not mince words and said that “it’s hard to pretend that everything is normal right now,” describing Trump as “a rapist, a pedophile, and the worst person.” His intervention served as an occasion to trigger a chain of reactions from well-known showbiz figures, some with direct political denunciations and others with public appeals and appearances in demonstrations.
One of Trump's biggest critics is Robert De Niro, who in the fall of 2025 joined the "No Kings" protest movement and made a clear political call, saying: "Now we have a potential king who wants to take it all. 'King Donald the First'. No." In the same message, he called on citizens to "rise up and show up," insisting that the response must be massive and clear.
There was also open conflict from George Clooney, who accused Trump of pressuring the media and trying to manipulate public discourse. When he was also targeted personally, he responded ironically: "I agree that America must be made great again. We will start in November," sending a clear political message with an electoral reference.
In the same context, Glenn Glaze took a stand in favor of mobilizations, publishing a strong message from a rally in Montana and writing with characteristic street indignation that “Bozeman is furious and has come out en masse,” presenting the climate as a collective political awakening. A few months later, in an even more clearly political stance, the actress formulated a patriotic call to defend democracy: “I love America. I love the First Amendment. I love our democracy. I love our diversity. And I am not willing to sit back and watch.”
On the television side, Jimmy Kimmel escalated his rhetoric in early January 2026, on the occasion of the anniversary of January 6, denouncing the attempt to “rewrite” history. The host warned his audience not to succumb to the distortion, saying “don’t give in to this ‘revisionist’ narrative” and called Trump’s stance “a selfish, shameful, tyrannical and dangerous act,” raising the tone considerably.
Public discontent with Donald Trump is also evident in the music world. Bruce Springsteen used the concerts of his European “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour in 2025 to issue harsh public criticism against the government and Donald Trump, describing the political situation in the US as “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous” and calling on the public to defend democracy and freedom.
Neil Young chose the early days of 2026 for one of his most aggressive public interventions, writing that “the US is a mess today” and that “Donald Trump is tearing America apart,” attributing the situation to a system of power that, he argued, divides the country and invests in fear.
