The Hollywood elite will not happily give up their political power. The special way they were coddled by Democrats is a teat they will fight for. They unjustifiably were given a bully pulpit and made to feel important outside of their true value and hate losing it.

He wants to know the tooth!
Celebrity dentist Shawn Sadri says his Iranian heritage and distaste for President Trump got him bounced off a flight from Los Angeles to Kennedy Airport on Sunday.
According to Sadri, a 35-year-old immigrant who practices in L.A. and Manhattan, he was returning from Hollywood after a week of performing cosmetic dental work for his Oscars-bound clients when he was seated next to a “6- or 7-year-old boy” of Latino descent who was nervous and crying before takeoff.
“I asked the boy, ‘Are you OK? Are you traveling alone?’ ” says Sadri, whose bicoastal practice has been visited by actor Aaron Paul, and athletes Jose Canseco and Gabby Douglas.

“He didn’t speak a word of English and no one was with him,” Sadri said. “Out of nowhere, he runs down the aisle and starts screaming!”
Sadri says that’s when a flight attendant came over to see what was happening, and he joked: “Maybe Trump is trying to deport him.”
According to Sadri, whose family moved to the U.S. when he was 3, the flight attendant snapped, “Don’t say that.”
Sadri says he figured that the “joke” might defuse the situation, but it did the opposite.
“Fine, you must be a Trump supporter,” he said he told the flight attendant. “And she said, ‘What if I am?’ So I said ‘If you are, you are, but you’re also incompetent and need to do your job. Why am I dealing with this kid?’”
According to Sadri, two other flight attendants came to their colleague’s aid and a 3-on-1 argument ensued.

“I wasn’t yelling, I wasn’t swearing, it was 6 a.m., I hadn’t been drinking,” he said. “I’m a New Yorker — I’m not going to back down — and I was born a Muslim in Iran. I do think all those things played into it.”
Sadri says that security was “nice” as they booted him off of American Airlines Flight 292 and put him on the next American Airlines jet to New York an hour later.
An American Airlines rep confirms in an email, “A passenger was removed from our 6 a.m. flight to JFK yesterday for not following crew members’ instructions.”
Neither the airline nor Sadri could tell us what those "instructions" were.
