Israeli-American businessman Haim Saban, the creator and producer of the Power Rangers franchise, received the 2,605th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday for his achievements in television. Friday marks the release of the feature film “Saban’s Power Rangers.”
Creator of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy a the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington, DC, Saban got in a dig at United States President Donald Trump by saying at the ceremony where he received the honor, “Take it from this immigrant from Israel, a proud Israeli-American, born in Egypt, a Muslim country: America is great. Not perfect, but great, and we shouldn’t allow any rhetoric to make us think otherwise, because America is great — period.”
