Actor Jeff Bridges wasn't on President Trump's side during the elections, and he doesn't

support his policies about federal food assistance programs, but in a recent interview he stated

that he is "rooting" for President Trump as "a human being."

In the interview Bridges didn't judge other people who strongly supported Trump's election,

but he also didn't want to oppose them.

"Everybody has something different and unique to contribute to society and with different

ways of doing it," Bridges stated.

"Some people will be blatantly out there talking about their disappointments and ridiculing

the way President Trump is acting."

The actor has another viewpoint.

"I'm rooting for him to do well by our country," Bridges stated.

"I'm rooting for him as a human being to do the cool thing."

According to Bridges, this statement means that President Trump's policies will guarantee

that childhood hunger wouldn't be impaired.

"The health of our children is a wonderful compass that can tell us if our country is

going the right direction," he stated.

"That means we're off course, so I'm rooting for the president to get on course."

Even though he supported Hillary Clinton during the elections, Bridges has a positive attitude

towards the President.

In a November interview, he stated: "I'm rooting for the guy, Mr. Trump."

"One of the things that are most appealing about him is his unpredictability.

A less kind word might be his hypocrisy, but unpredictability and hypocrisy are things

that each of us human being share.

It's something we all struggle with and work with."

"I'm rooting for the guy, but we'll see how it all goes.

You just don't know how it will all work out," he continued.

Soon after the President's inauguration triggered the massive national protests, Bridges

called everyone to calm down and come to their senses.

"We point fingers at people, we point fingers at Trump, he points fingers at people.

How are we going to come together and realize that we're on this little dust speck in

space, you know?"

Bridges stated.

"Things are finite here, you know.

How are we going to work together to make the most beautiful existence that we can,

you know?" he stated.

In his opinion, the people can close gaps if they are united and work together.

"Just be with these people who feel opposite than you, and just kind of be with this uncomfortable

feeling, like, what are we going to do?

If you spend enough time in that situation, not knowing yourself, not having such a strong

opinion that you can't hear anybody else, some kind of loving action will come out of

that," he stated.

Master English with 1 Simple Trick: English is NOT a hobby - Duration: 9:26.

Hi there, Vladimir here with another video on how to learn English

Did you know that there's just 1 simple trick to becoming a fluent English speaker?

Did you know that there is 1 thing you must change about your approach to English

in order to master the English language.

1 simple change in mindset.

Here it is.

English is not a hobby

English is not a hobby

Most people take up English with a mindset of being a hobby

It all starts in school, we learn maths chemistry, biology, history, English

English is just one of the subjects.

No, English is not just a subject anymore

English is much more than that.

We are human beings, you and I,

and as such we are a part of the animal kingdom

We are animals

what separates us from all other animals, what is the one single biggest difference

between us and the other animals

That's right, language

Language, what an amazing skill we have the ability to communicate

Any language, Chinese, French, Bulgarian English, Japanese

Without language we are nothing but animals, just eat and sleep, defecate and fornicate.

It is because of language that we can build high-speed trains, airplanes, space shuttles.

It is pretty obvious right?

what does all this have to do with English?

What all this has to do with English is that English is the only true global language.

Mind you, this wasn't the case 20 years ago

This happened fairly recently, this happened in the last 10 -15 years

since the advent of this thing called

the Internet and companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix, and the like

the computer and the Internet made English ubiquitous

If you haven't realized this simple fact it means you have the mindset of a hobbyist

and with that kind of mindset you will never master English

We are human beings, we are social animals, we talk, and

English is unquestionably the only true global language.

English is like no other skill.

Your English should be as good as your native language

almost as good, virtually the same

But communication is not the only reason.

There is one more reason why you should take English much more seriously

English gives you arguably the best quality information

why?

Because English is the language of science.

No question about that either I hope.

even if you don't need or want to communicate with people from other countries

you still need English to get good quality information

Let me show you what I mean.

Wikipedia, the 4th most visited website in the world

Google, Youtube, Facebook and Wikipedia

What is Wikipedia?

An online Encyclopedia

Wikipedia is information

This is a list of the different language editions of Wikipedia.

Unquestionably English is at the top with a little shy of 5.5 million articles

Let us look at Japanese, which is one of the top 5 languages on the Internet

a little over 1 million articles.

Over 5 times difference in quantity, that's a lot

but that's only half the picture

The other half is in the Depth column

The "Depth" column is a rough indicator of a Wikipedia's quality

showing how frequently its articles are updated

to update means to add the most recent information,

basically means better quality.

On average, each English article is updated about 1000 times,

how many times do you recon for each Japanese article

Less than 80 times.

That's more than a 10-time difference in quality.

10 times, for Japanese, one of the most common languages on the internet.

My native Bulgarian a mere 25 times,

25 vs 1000

Hope that answers the question why I learned English.

Imagine you are eating a steak, and it is a good steak, but then I tell you, try this one

this one is 10 times better, more delicious, more nutritious than this one, 10 times.

And keep in mind that this is an okay steak.

Japan is a big country with a very large population.

There is a lot of translation going on in Japan.

Japanese people can still get access to relatively good quality information in Japanese,

but it is no match for this bad boy here.

10 times better.

Information about your health, about your food about your hobby and of course about business

Just google "lower back pain" in English and in your native language and see the difference

in the way information is displayed and organized on the screen

Huge difference

It is not just about communication, it is also about good quality information.

English is not a hobby, not anymore, not for the last 10 years

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that the Americans and the Brits are smarter and more

intelligent than the rest of us,

no, not at all,

all I'm saying is that French, German, Japanese, Chinese researchers and scientists need to

publish in English because English is the language of science.

I don't care about English,

All I care about is communicating with as many people as I possibly can and

learning good quality information.

If Chinese could give me that I would have learned Chinese or French or Spanish

I don't care.

English turned out the lingua franca of our time, not Bulgarian, so I learned English.

That's why I am critical of overly simplistic methods about fluent in 3 months,

language hacks, 4-12 sentences, mistakes are OK, and all that jazz.

Those methods are for hobbyists.

English is not a hobby

This is the 1 simple thing you must change about your approach to English.

English is not a hobby.

The second thing you need to realize is that native speakers are not the best teachers.

And the third thing you need to do is to stop watching useless youtube videos of

native speakers telling you how to learn English but instead read books and

I suggest you start with my book Virtually Native

A book giving you a working method for learning English

Here is the non-native proof standing right in front of you

Virtually native is available on Amazon and virtuallynative.com
