ESQUIRE INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT REDFORD....
If you found yourself one-on-one with Trump, what would you want to say to him most urgently?
Quit. For our benefit. Politics right now is in a very dark place, and I think the only place for me is to do what I domake films, create art, watch it as it evolves. Right now its like Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall, and a great fall is happening. The behavior seems to be really dumb.
Thats another thing thats depressing: certain attitudes in Congress. They assume that youre dumb; they can take advantage of you being dumb. I find that offensive. It insults our intelligence. Theyre playing us for dumb and theyre being dumb in doing it. For me, thats one of the reasons the pendulum is against the wall. But I believe thats gonna change. I think those people, the McConnells, are not helping us at all. Theyre taking us backward in time.

If they are not from that group originally they switch over because of the power, and then have to be dumb to fit in.
They dont know anything about government, politics, diplomacy or the world and are proud that they dont.

Schtroumpf will never cede power if someone else stands to benefit.
You got to play to the person he cares about the most - himself.
