‘Fueled-by-rage’ Sean Penn: No ‘chance in hell’ Trump re-elected
September 9, 2019 | Frieda Powers

“Fast Times at Ridgemont High” star Sean Penn has again blasted President Trump, this time on stage at a California event where he declared there is “no chance in hell” Trump will get re-elected.

The filmmaker predicted an “exponential jump” in the number of younger voters who will not support a second term for the president, speaking with fellow actor Nick Offerman in Los Angeles, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Penn was on hand to promote his new novel “Bob Honey Sings Jimmy Crack Corn,” when he reportedly made the remarks on stage at the Los Angeles event Saturday. His book, a follow-up to 2018’s “Bob Honey Who Just Do Stufff,” is “literature of the ludicrous,” according to the Oscar-winning star of “Mystic River” and “Milk,” and tells the story of an international assassin.

“As it turns out, leading up to the election of 2016, I was going to f**king kill myself if I didn’t find a way out of just focusing on what the hell was happening,” Penn told Offerman. “So I decided to take everything I thought and felt and exaggerated it and exaggerated the language in ways that would keep me giggling through one of the ugliest periods of conscious participation the country has ever had.”

The 49-year old actor unloaded on Trump with his political commentary, noting that he tackles his writing in the den of his house which “has a fireplace in it, and might or might not have a model representing our current president hanging from a noose. And it may or may not have a button on that model where you can press it and hear quotations in his voice. And that’s where I write.”

He has become Mr. Hand.  But at least Mr. Hand was likable.

What does this late-middle-aged has-been actor know about young voters?

Unless he says that if Trump is re-elected he will move to Canada, Europe or Siberia...he doesn't have much validity.

Ah. The finest minds in Hollywood are predicting an outcome.

Again.

The funniest part of Trump being reelected would be counting the number of Leftists who have aneurysms due to soaring blood pressure from hate and shock. This would be their heads exploding, literally. Of course if they don't like it, they can always move. But we all know they will never do that.

But it is true that celebrities typically do more damage to their candidate or cause than they help. It is not so much that people hate celebrities, although that is part of it with some of them. It is more that most people don't take the political opinions of actors or comedians seriously, and rightly so. Getting up on a stage and reciting a bunch of prewritten words is not some kind of automatic PhD in Global Politics or Global events. Hollywood is not nearly as smart as they think they are.
