Trump recommends a scorching document called ‘Screams before silence’

President Ronald Reagan was more knowledgeable about pop culture than his Republican predecessors. He lived it.

The veteran actor worked in Hollywood for decades before abandoning film sets for campaign speeches.

President Donald Trump enjoys a similar advantage.

He embraced pop culture early and often at his peak in real estate. He worked the talk show circuit and appeared in TV shows and movies (“Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” “The Little Rascals”) before hitting it big with NBC’s “The Apprentice.”

Not all Republican politicians can say that. And it shows up often. Senator Ted Cruz is an exception to this rule.

Now, Trump is backing a powerful new documentary that has been ignored by almost every film critic in the country.

“Screams Before Silence,” available for free on its website and on YouTube, allows survivors of the October 7 attacks to share their stories. It’s a moving experience that avoids graphic images and focuses on raw testimony.

Not only did critics reflexively ignore the film, but Hollywood in general acted as if it didn’t exist. No testimonials from stars asking the public to see it. No pleas from feminist starlets asking the public to know what happened that tragic day.

The documentary “Screams before Silence” is incredibly difficult to watch because, unfortunately, it graphically depicts the death and destruction unleashed by Hamas. I urge people to support the documentary and watch it, if possible. We demand that all hostages captured on October 7 in Israel and held in Gaza be immediately released, including eight Americans and citizens of more than twenty other countries, so that the war can end.

This is not a typical movie recommendation.

The content of the film refutes the pro-Palestinian protesters who are wreaking havoc across the country. Some of these protesters, like Susan Sarandon, deny that Hamas raped countless women during the terrorist attack.

Others insisted, just days after October 7, that Israel should withdraw rather than retaliate for the most savage attack in modern history.

There is more.

The film has the power to change people’s minds about the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Even those who worry about the growing number of civilian casualties in Gaza might change their minds after seeing “Screams.”

Trump might see a political advantage in promoting “Screams Before Silence.” TRUE? FAKE? Either way, it’s the right thing to do.
