Damien Chazelle joins Twitter to criticise President Trump

Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle chose to join Twitter and made it clear immediately that what was his reason to create an account on the micro-blogging site

The director created a Twitter account to challenge President Donald Trump, eventually calling for his impeachment, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The 32-year-old director fired off a series of 10 tweets, showing that he knows how to string together a statement using 140 characters or less.

He tweeted, "Decided to join Twitter because I feel a responsibility to add my voice to the chorus. The Trump administration is openly endorsing Nazism and white supremacy. It's that simple. We're living a historic moment. Things don't often come this clear-cut. Anyone in a position of power who stays silent is complicit."

He did not stop here and later tweeted, "I hold out hope. That the GOP will come to its senses and call for impeachment. That voters lured by Trump's economic promises will finally wake up. And that we as a country will learn from this. That this moment will do away once and for all with 'politics don't affect me,' 'I don't feel like voting,' that the epic moral failure we're witnessing now will inspire a new activism. Might be naive. But in the meantime, I'm gonna try to do whatever I can. I gotta believe every little bit helps."

The 'La La Land' director also urged his fans and followers to donate to such causes in same numbers as Black Lives Matters movement, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and Swing Left.

His tweets come less than a day after Trump held a press conference when he again placed blame for the riots and violence in Charlotesville, Virginia, on "both sides" rather than denounce white nationalists outright.

The 'Whiplash' helmer posted another series of tweets which were all about free speech, something he admitted that he had "been thinking about."

Chazelle spent the rest of his first day on Twitter retweeting other users, mostly journalists like 'The Atlantic's Adam Sewer and 'Mother Jones' Aaron Wiener.
