Jane Fonda ‘calls out Donald Trump’ during SAG award speech
Jane Fonda, known for her political activism throughout her career, recently used her acceptance speech for the SAG Life Achievement Award to criticize President Donald Trump without naming him. At 87, Fonda took the opportunity to address the current political climate and defend “wokeness,” stating that empathy is important and not a weakness.
She emphasized the need for a “big tent” to resist political challenges, calling for understanding across different political views.

Her comments come during a tumultuous period in US politics, with Trump’s second term marked by controversial decisions, such as the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, and his apparent support for Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine war.
Fonda’s speech highlights the growing tensions and need for empathy in these divided times.
