In a series of tweets, the 32-year-old filmmaker said the supporters of America's 45th president must see that he is "openly endorsing Nazism" and they will realise they have been cheated by the POTUS in the garb of promises.
"(I) Decided to join Twitter because I feel a responsibility to add my voice to the chorus. The Trump administration is openly endorsing Nazism and white supremacy. It's that simple...
"That voters lured by Trump's economic promises will finally wake up. And that we as a country will learn from this," Chazelle wrote.
Chazelle said he "might be naive" in registering his protest against the US president on social media but he would continue to contribute in making America a better society.
The "La La Land" filmmaker, later, questioned the authorities if any arrests were made in the Charlottesville rally organised by white nationalists in Virginia last week, that claimed the life of a counterdemonstrator, Heather Heyer.
"That is the state of free speech in America today," he concluded.
