During an appearance on The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell on MS NOW, Morgan Freeman expressed deep disbelief and frustration over Donald Trump serving as the president of the United States despite being a convicted felon. The 88-year-old actor shared his disapproval of the current state of the nation, making it clear he does not support Trump’s leadership. Morgan Freeman on Trump presidency became a focal point during this discussion.
Freeman Questions How a Felon Became President
When asked by O’Donnell to describe the current state of affairs, Freeman hesitated before asking if he could use profanity, signaling his strong feelings about the topic. He then criticized Trump sharply, stating,
“Well, we have somebody sitting in the White House who’s leading us down a s—hole.”
Freeman expressed his confusion, emphasizing,
“I can’t personally understand how a convicted felon, convicted, 34 felon — felonious, is that the word? — counts of wrongdoing, gets to be president?”
Frustrated by the justifications offered by Trump’s supporters, Freeman added,
“When say, ‘Well, he was…,’ I don’t care. That ruling went down before he stepped into the Oval Office. So it just doesn’t make sense to me.”
His remarks underscored his inability to reconcile Trump’s legal past with his presidency.
Public Reaction Reflects Deep Division Over Trump
Reactions to Freeman’s comments reflected the ongoing polarization in the United States. Some social media users agreed strongly with Freeman’s stance. One Redditor stated,
“It is just mind boggling how anyone could vote for a felon!!!”
followed by,
“Is this the best the GOP has to offer?? Pathetic.”
Another echoed the sentiment, writing,
“Doesn’t make any sense to me either, Morgan. Not one bit.”
Others noted that concerns about Trump’s felony convictions were sometimes overshadowed by what they perceived as more serious issues. One commenter said,
“What’s crazy is that I can think of like 10 other things off the top of my head about Donald Trump that are more disqualifying than the felony convictions.”
Freeman Warns of Dangerous Parallels in Current Political Climate
Following his harsh criticisms, Freeman was asked if he believed the country was regressing. He responded that the situation feels “very different” from the past, drawing a troubling comparison to historical events in Germany. He warned,
“I’m constantly reminded of Germany in 1935. What was happening there, the brownshirts, those people that are marching through, particularly Berlin, and rounding up people, putting them in boxcars and sending them off.”
Freeman also highlighted the administration’s plans to build large detention centers, questioning their purpose and evoking stark imagery of oppression and fear. His comments conveyed a deep concern about the direction in which the United States is heading under the current leadership.
