Actor Ethan Hawke recently sparked discussion after publicly criticizing President Donald Trump. During an appearance on ‘The View’ on October 22nd, Hawke questioned Trump’s integrity and financial dealings.
The discussion at the event shifted to news reports claiming that Donald Trump requested $230 million from the Department of Justice.
You know, as a movie buff, I’m always fascinated by characters with strong principles. It really struck me when Ethan Hawke brought up Jimmy Carter – remembering when he actually walked away from his farm to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. It was a powerful example of integrity, and Hawke pointed out how we just don’t see that kind of thing much anymore. It’s like, where did that willingness to do the right thing, even when it’s hard, go?
Behar seemed shocked and asked, “Starting?” Hawke laughed and replied, “Yeah, I’m being nice.”
Ethan Hawke reacted to Donald Trump’s demand for $230 million from taxpayers by contrasting it with Jimmy Carter’s decision to relinquish his family farm to avoid a conflict of interest. Hawke suggested this highlights a significant lack of integrity.

The hosts talked about how Donald Trump is asking the Department of Justice to use taxpayer money to pay for the investigations into whether his campaign worked with Russia in 2016 and regarding the classified documents discovered at his Mar-a-Lago property.
Critics drew parallels between his behavior and that of Jimmy Carter, who placed his family farm in a blind trust during his presidency. This meant Carter retained ownership but handed over control to an independent manager. Today, that farm is preserved as part of the Jimmy Carter National Historic Park.
