Robert Redford<\/strong><\/a> died<\/a> in September 2025, and the film industry came together to mourn the loss<\/a> of the cinematic legend. While he\u2019s celebrated for his reputable work on the big screen, Redford was also an outspoken environmentalist. Naturally, this prompted public interest in Redford\u2019s political views.<\/p>\n When asked about Redford\u2019s death by reporters, Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> expressed shock at the news. The Republican president called the late Sting<\/em> actor \u201cgreat.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRobert Redford was great,\u201d Trump said, adding that the late movie star \u201chad a series of years where there was nobody better. \u2026 I\u2019d say he made seven or eight great movies; they were really great. There was a period of time when he was the hottest. I thought he was great.\u201d<\/p>\n Upon learning that Redford died in his sleep, Trump replied, \u201cThat\u2019s a good way to go, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n Learn what Redford\u2019s political views were below.<\/p>\n NOW: “Robert Redford was great \u2026 He had a series of years \u2026 there was nobody better.”<\/p>\n President Trump reacts to the death of Hollywood legend Robert Redford, saying “there was a time he was the hottest.” pic.twitter.com\/NKFq9x5e9X<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fox News (@FoxNews) September 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Redford openly supported Democratic candidates for most of his life, and he opposed Trump. In a 2020 op-ed<\/a>, the late Dark Winds<\/em> executive producer compared Trump to former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt,\u00a0<\/strong>a Democrat.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a voice of authority and, at the same time, empathy,\u201d Redford wrote about FDR. \u201cAmericans were facing a common enemy \u2013 fascism \u2013 and FDR gave us the sense that we were all in it together. Even kids like me had a role to play: participating in paper drives, collecting scrap metal, doing whatever we could do. That\u2019s what it was like to have a president with a strong moral compass. It guided him, gave him direction, and helped him point the nation toward a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n Im that same op-ed<\/a>, Redford wrote that Trump\u2019s presidency had no \u201cmoral compass,\u201d but rather a \u201cmoral vacuum.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of a president who says we\u2019re all in it together, we have a president who\u2019s in it for himself,\u201d the Oscar winner penned. \u201cInstead of words that uplift and unite, we hear words that inflame and divide.\u201d<\/p>\n Calling the U.S. the \u201cDivided States of America,\u201d Redford expressed his belief that another Trump presidency could harm the country.<\/p>\n \u201cFour more years [of Trump] would mean open season on our environmental laws,\u201d the actor wrote. \u201cThe assault has been ongoing \u2014 it started with abandoning the historic agreement that the world made in Paris to combat climate change, and continued, just last month, with using the pandemic as cover to let industries pollute as they see fit.\u201d<\/p>\n Redford had a net worth<\/a> of $200 million by 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth<\/a>.<\/p>\n Redford never disclosed any major health<\/a> setbacks during his final years. He is survived by his daughters, Amy<\/strong> and Shauna Redford<\/strong><\/a>. His late sons, Scott Anthony <\/strong>and David James Redford<\/strong> are deceased.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\n
