Actor James Woods, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, slammed what he described as "infuriating

and distasteful"

https://www.nj.com/politics/2025/12/popular-maga-actor-subtly-snubs-trump-infuriating-and-distasteful.html

“I judge people by how they treat me, and Rob Reiner was a godsend in my life,” Woods said. “We got along great. Loved each other. We had more fun together doing a very serious subject.”

He added: “Because you disagree with people doesn’t mean that you have to hate people.”

I very much dislike James Wood

the overwhelming majority of Democrats Woods demonizes never did a fucking thing to him

as another DUer in this thread said regarding Woods:

“I judge people by how they treat me….” He doesn’t care about how others are treated.

Hunh...Now he is critical of Trump.

Woods must have had his head up his ass when Trump mocked a disabled reporter, attacked a Gold Star family, intimated that the former chair of the joint chiefs of staff should be put to death, praised blood-thirsty tyrants, incited a mob to attack Congress, etc. etc. etc.

Trust me. If you see someone treating others badly, that someone will, sooner or later, screw you over as well.

Trump would screw James Wood over in a heartbeat if he thought he would get anything at all out of it, including just for shits and giggles.
