Hollywood luvvies have become Donald Trump’s useful idiots

In events that were foreseeable to anyone outside America’s cultural elite, the actress and popstar Selena Gomez is facing an online backlash to her now-deleted Instagram post decrying Donald Trump’s immigration policy. The offending video featured a sobbing Selena, who has Mexican heritage, wailing into her phone camera that ‘all my people are being attacked’ and that ‘I wish I could do something but I can’t’. It was a performance of such histrionic hamminess it’s little wonder Miss Gomez missed out on an Oscar nod for Emilia Perez.

The reaction has been swift and unforgiving. Many were quick to point out that, contrary to Gomez’s assumptions, Trump’s plan to deport unlawful migrants – especially those who’ve committed crimes – is actually rather popular. It’s almost as if it helped him win an election recently. As the president’s border tsar, Tom Homan, told Fox News: ‘We’ve got half a million children who were sex trafficked into this country, separated from their families, put in the hands of criminal cartels to be smuggled into this country.
