Actor Sean Penn is the newest Hollywood superstar to soften down over Donald Trump.
In a podcast look with former CNN host Jim Acosta and California Rep. Eric Swalwell, Penn advised that Trump could “destroy the world” earlier than his presidency is completed.
Here’s a transcript of the trade:
ACOSTA: Bukele must be instructed, like, there are going to be different administrations which might be going to come back in right here that aren’t going to look too kindly on this. What you’re doing down there.
SWALWELL: Jim, Bukele must be instructed that, the regulation companies which might be caving must be instructed that, the universities which might be collapse must be instructed that.
The CEOs who’ve antitrust fits in opposition to them and are looking for their method out by donating to his inauguration funds or serving to him in another method, they need to be taught that.
We’re taking stock of who’s attempting to do these one-off anti-democratic offers with Donald Trump. There’s going to be a day of reckoning and accountability as a result of the president’s ballot numbers are beneath 40% proper now.
I imply, he’s in a free fall so far as his ballot numbers. And we’re placing an increasing number of seats in Congress and within the Senate in play. And so we count on a wave-like election, and we’re making ready for that. And we’re going to be a test that isn’t there proper now.
And so, sure, he ought to assume twice about what the long-term way forward for El Salvador is that if Donald Trump is now not in energy.
PENN: However earlier than Bukele will get to that time the place he’s coping with one other chief, we must always contemplate worst case situations.
And I do assume it’s an inexpensive concept that Donald Trump is just not not like the partner of somebody who leaves him, maybe for an additional, who then murders their former companion as a result of if they will’t have her, no one can.
And I believe Donald Trump and his solipsism could have that relationship with the world and that this destruction is partly an influence play. And in addition a literal intention of his closing out.
ACOSTA: You assume he’ll attempt to keep on?
PENN: I believe he may attempt to destroy the world earlier than he ages out of life.
SWALWELL: I simply, within the historical past of dictators or those that aspire to be dictators, there’s by no means a succession plan, proper?
There’s by no means, and that’s what worries me is that if he doesn’t imagine there’s anyone who can shield him, that he, you will note him ratchet up, you understand, what he’s keen to do to the nation to guard himself.
