Trump Shares Woody Allen's Praise On Social Media, And Critics Make 'Fitting' Connections
HuffPost
Social media users were quick to note that the Oscar-winning director and President Donald Trump were both friends with one particular person.
President Donald Trump on Monday appeared to brag about his acting skills by citing comments from Woody Allen, the Oscar-winning director accused of sexually molesting his adopted daughter, which social media users argued was more than a little “fitting.”
Allen, whose ex-wife Mia Farrow alleged in 1992 that he had sexually abused their then-7-year-old child, recalled on the latest episode of Bill Maher’s podcast, “Club Random,” that he directed Trump in a 1998 movie — and praised his performance.
“I’m one of the few people who can say he directed Trump,” noted Allen. “I directed Trump in … ‘Celebrity,’ and he was a pleasure to work with and a very good actor. He was very polite and hit his mark and did everything correctly and had a real flair for show business.”
“If he would let me direct him now that he’s president, I think I could do wonders,” he said.
Trump shared a Variety article Monday to show those comments off on social media, but apparently failed to listen to the actual podcast: Allen had clearly intoned the “now” in wishing he could direct Trump again, suggesting he’s no fan of the president’s policies.
