From Independent www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/christian-bale-donald-trump-us-president-world-watching-read-dictatorship-for-dummies-book-a7701061.html It was after being questioned about the disappearance of the free press under dictatorships that Bale took aim at Mr Trump, saying: ”It’s like we’re watching somebody reading a Dictatorship for Dummies book”.
“I remember prior to the election I thought it was batshit crazy that people would talk about how there’ll be 'a revolution in appreciation of what we have and not taking it for granted,' and you think no way in hell.”
“But we’re here, and you think, well OK, that’s your best bet, isn’t it? So the hope is that journalism becomes more exceptional than it has been in decades, and that we start to recognise and treasure it - to treasure so many different things.”

“We’re living in the post-truth era ... People are questioning facts, which is nuts," Bale said. "I liken it to the ‘debate’ on climate change. There’s no debate! The science is settled. But people continue to do this smokescreen and pretend that there’s a debate, you know?
