Robert Redford's 2019 editorial for NBC News, called "President Trump's dictator-like administration is attacking the values America holds dear," is going viral.

The editorial starts off with a bang: "We’re up against a crisis I never thought I’d see in my lifetime: a dictator-like attack by President Donald Trump on everything this country stands for."

He goes on to say, "What is happening, right now, is so deeply disturbing that instead of the United States of America, we are now defined as the Divided States of America. Leaders on both sides lack the fundamental courage to cross political aisles on behalf of what is good for the American people."

And then he ends it with this: "Let’s go back to being the leader the world so desperately needs. Let’s return, quickly, to being simply ... Americans."
