When Donad Trump held office, in 2019, Redford struck again. In an op-ed for the Washington Post, a year before Trump was impeached for a second time, “The Sundance Kid” argued that it was wrong to impeach the president. Instead, Redford thought voters should have used their power to kick him out of the White House and from the Oval Office.

“It is painfully clear we have a president who degrades everything he touches, a person who does not understand (or care?) that his duty is to defend our democracy,” Redford dsaid.

The same year, then in an op-ed for NBC, the actor claimed Donald Trump was a threat to the US democracy.

“We’re up against a crisis I never thought I’d see in my lifetime: a dictator-like attack by President Donald Trump on everything this country stands for,” he said.

Robert Redford wanted to give Trump “a chance”

He added that it was fair to have given “the guy a chance” when he was first elected, but that Trimp undermined many things democracy stood for; the rule of law, freedom of speech, and freedom of press.

“Instead of the United States of America, we are now defined as the Divided States of America,” Robert Redford added.
