“I am not too concerned about this because I know what is good,” said Damon. “I know that illegal immigrants who are criminals should not be in our country. I know it should be a fair playground – that’s why the prices are coming.
“I mentioned my friends years ago, I said to myself:” Ukraine will never reimburse us? I mean we give them so much money “and everyone said,” Yes, I don’t know how it works. “Well, as we see on the world scene at the moment, President Trump is trying to make peace with Russia and Ukraine … and there is a lot of war that nobody wants to have.”
The former voltijourn said he was trying to do what he thought was good for his children.

“So I can take sorrow, but I’m not too concerned about that,” he said. “I am a 51 year old man with eight children. I worry about the future of my children. I want to make sure they live in a safe world.
“I know that I have a lot of friends on the right, many friends on the left and many of them agree with Trump’s politicians. They just don’t like how strong it is of a boss and our country needed something like that.”
Damon approved Trump’s first presidential election in 2016. In 2020, Trump appointed Damon to sit on the president’s advice on sports, physical form and nutrition.
