If there was a fancy Malibu rehab center for Trump Derangement Syndrome it would be jam packed with celebrities right now. Ten months into Trump’s first term Hollywood actors, directors, comedians and singers are STILL having trouble coping with life under President Trump.
Comedian Rosie O’Donnell confessed her sick obsession: “I spend like pretty much 90 percent of my waking hours tweeting hatred” towards Trump. And for some celebs Trump became a literal nightmare they can’t wake up from. Actor Rob Reiner whined: “I’m in a nightmare that doesn’t ever stop,” and hippie-singer David Crosby wailed about the “orange nightmare in Washington.”
There were also the typical “crazy” comparisons. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong compared the president to Saddam Hussein and called him “Batshit crazy.” And Netflix host Chelsea Handler wanted to trade Trump for the “more sane” Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Many celebrities also admitted to being ashamed of America. Prophets of Rage guitarist Tom Morello cursed the “same flag that flew over slavery and the genocide of the Native American population, the napalming of the Vietnamese children, the destruction of Afghanistan’s civilian hospitals.” Actress Jane Fonda told a British interviewer that she was not proud to be an American and would eagerly join NFL players’ National Anthem protests: “I would take a knee. I would take two knees. I’d get on all fours if necessary.”
