Thanks to Trump's unbridled corruption, cowardice, stupidity, I have now lost the passion, enjoyment and interest in all American movies depicing "heroic" FBI agents, CIA agents, and so on.

 Seeing Kash Patel as director of FBI is so appalling, that I think, Hollywood needs to completely stop making their crime fiction movies. Let me explain.

I am from India. Similar movies are produced in India.. I have stopped watching Indian movies as I have zero trust in the honesty of Indian police, CBI, etc. When I watch an "honest Indian cop" in the Bolly wood movies, I simply cannot suspend my disbelief.  I feel these movies are stupid and unbelievable as there is so much corruption, that the honesty of the hero in the movie looks like complete bullshit.


On the other hand, all these years, I truly enjoyed the movies from Hollywood that is American movies USA, ( and movies from Canada and west Europe)  because I believed that these countries are not corrupt or less corrupt.   Therefore the blockbuster movies and TV shows were believable to me when they showed "heroic" police, FBI agents, etc. I was literally on the edge of my seat when watching the TV show called 24..


Now, with the vile , corrupt, asshole Trump as president, Kash Patel as FBI director, etc, there is absolutely no joy or thrill in watching Hollywood movies and American TV shows for me. Now all I can think when watching the brave hero or heroine in a Hollywood movie or American TV show is that it's bullshit. All these heros and heroines are not the real deal...these agencies, American administration and judical systems have been rendered dishonest, cowardly, vile and evil by Trump.  So any depiction of good triumphing over evil is bullshit, not believable, not true.


I spent a good deal of time 0ver the last 3 decades, enjoying these shows and movies. Now thanks to Trump, these shows have lost credibility...I mean,  I know movies and shows are just fiction, but to me, they were fiction based on some reality. I believed in the reality of a relatively ethical population, ethical system, ethical government, in the USA. With this vile president, who has contaminated everything good in USA, I can no longer  enjoy Hollywood fiction as I no longer feel that good triumphing over evil is believable in USA.

The lines from Julius Caesar I am reminded of today, the 250th year birthday of the American Army

 "... why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more... Had you rather Cae...
