Ellen Reacts to Trump’s ‘Finding Dory’ Viewing Amid Family Separation Controversy
In a rather curious turn of events, President Donald Trump decided to unwind over the weekend by watching “Finding Dory,” a film centered around a fish who finds herself separated from her family. This viewing came right after he signed an executive order banning refugees and immigrants from entering the U.S. on Holocaust Memorial Day—talk about timing, right? While millions of Americans protested the order, Trump seemingly thought it was the perfect moment for some animated family fun.
On her talk show, Ellen DeGeneres, the voice behind Dory, couldn’t help but comment on the irony of the situation. “I usually steer clear of politics,” Ellen said, “but let’s focus on the family-friendly aspects of ‘Finding Dory,’ a film that just happens to be about reuniting loved ones.”
Ellen’s Take on the Movie
She began with a light-hearted take on the movie’s plot: “So, there’s this fish named Dory. She’s from Australia, but her parents are in America, and honestly, who knows what faith they practice? It’s irrelevant.”
Ellen went on to describe how Dory and her friends Marlin and Nemo navigate a large wall in their quest to be reunited. “You won’t believe it, but this wall hardly keeps them out at all!” she quipped. “When you’re determined to see your family, you’ll find a way, whether it’s hiding, digging, or getting a lift from a possibly sick bird named Becky.”
The Essence of Empathy
The humor didn’t stop there. Ellen highlighted how, although Dory ultimately ends up separated from her family, a diverse group of animals—who she notes have nothing in common with her—come together to help her out. “That’s the essence of empathy,” Ellen emphasized. “Different colors, different backgrounds, and yet they all lend a fin when someone is in need.”
As Ellen wrapped up, she hoped viewers would take away a vital lesson from the film. Unfortunately, it seems that understanding the significance of compassion isn’t exactly President Trump’s strong suit. With Rosa Parks Day approaching on February 4th, perhaps some advisors could suggest it’s not a great day to reflect on civil rights while binge-watching “The Graduate.”
