Celebrated
Hollywood
filmmaker,
actress
and
activist
Angelina
Jolie
stated
that
people
should
be
careful
about
falling
for
tricks
of
the
populist
politicians
and
leaders.
Angelina
Jolie,
while
talking
about
the
issue
of
rising
populism
in
the
country
said,
"This
is
an
old
trick
and
we
should
know
better
than
to
fall
for
it,"
"And
I
see
it
rising,
and
the
only
thing
I
can
do
is
use
my
voice
and
encourage
others.
And
raise
my
children
to
know
right
and
wrong
and
to
have
a
broader
view
of
the
world
and
to
embrace
their
diversity
and
other
people's,
and
respect
others." Said
Jolie.
"And
I
think
that's
all
we
can
do
right
now,
is
each
and
every
person
-
each
one
of
your
listeners
-
we
all
just
have
to
be
the
best
of
ourselves,
now
more
than
ever,
we
really
have
to
rise
up
and
find
our
rational
center,
our
who-we-are
and
what-do-we-stand-for.
And
we
know
it.
We
know
what's
right
and
wrong." The
actress
added.
While
speaking
about
the
populism
issue,
Jolie
was
much
careful
about
not
mentioning
any
particular
individual
or
country.
Earlier
she
had
written
a
column
in
a
popular
local
newspaper
criticising
Donald
Trump's
decision
of
travel
ban
on
the
terrorism
issue.
"The
American
people
are
bigger
than
any
president,
I
suppose
I
have
faith
in
my
country
and
in
what
it
is
founded
on
and
the
values
we
hold
dear."
Said
Jolie.
"I
believe
that
many
of
the
things
that
we're
hearing
that
we
feel
are
based
on
a
sense
of
spreading
fear
or
hate
or
dividing
people
by
race
or
judgement
is
un-American.' She
added
further.
