In a recent interview, Ford stated that the economy remains unfair, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. The piece points out that although Ford has amassed great wealth through his long and accomplished acting career, he remained silent during joe Biden&#8217;s presidency when many families struggled with inflation and financial difficulties. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/msnbc-article-suggests-republicans-are-worse-than-nazis\/\" title=\"MSNBC Article Suggests Republicans Are Worse Than Nazis\">article suggests<\/a> that Ford&#8217;s sudden concern about economic issues now, amid an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-attacks-republicans-for-being-silent-on-tubervilles-military-blockade\/\" title=\"White House criticizes GOP&#039;s silence on Tuberville&#039;s military blockade.\">improving economy<\/a> under Trump, appears insincere. While acknowledging Ford&#8217;s legendary acting talent, the article implies that his awareness of economic injustice is out of touch given his privileged position.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Nothing says &ldquo;man of the people&rdquo; quite like lecturing the country about wealth inequality from atop a $300 million fortune.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s exactly what Harrison Ford did this week.<\/p>\n<p>In a new <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/tv\/features\/harrison-ford-interview-shrinking-season-3-emmy-marvel-future-1236473787\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> with Variety, the 83-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >movie star decided<\/a> now, six months into President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-cites-bad-policies-suggests-send-south-africa-message-g20-snub\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump&rsquo;s<\/a> second term, was the perfect time to weigh in on how the economy is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/army-investigating-chaplain-who-said-transgender-people-unqualified-to-serve\/\" title=\"Army Investigating Chaplain Who Said Transgender People \u2018Unqualified To Serve\u2019\">treating people<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ford was asked, &ldquo;Now that we&rsquo;re six months into the Trump presidency, what do you think about where the country is?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you look at the economy,&rdquo; Ford said, &ldquo;you&rsquo;ll figure out where the commonality is &mdash; it&rsquo;s where it always was: Rich get richer, and poor get poorer.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And that ain&rsquo;t exactly right,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>You know what else ain&rsquo;t exactly right?

So I don&rsquo;t have that answer,&rdquo; when he was asked what could be done to fix the situation.<\/p>\n<p>No argument there.
