Excuse me for making a relatively obscure British reference, but Donald Trump is very much the epitome of Marmite in that you either love him, or you hate him. Not sure what any of that meant? Google it you savages! But anyway, I digress, when it comes to Trump people can be very vocal on their opinions, such is the case with Man of Steel star, Michael Shannon who made his thoughts on the next President very clear. Read on to find out more.
Whilst promoting his latest film, Nocturnal Animals, Shannon was interviewed by Metro News in which he made sure not only to bash Trump, but also those people who voted for them as well. He told the publication:
“There’s a lot of old people who need to realize they’ve had a nice life, and it’s time for them to move on.”
Before adding:
“Because they’re the ones who go out and vote for these assholes. If you look at the young people, between 18 and 25, if it was up to them, Hillary would have been president. No offense to the seniors out there. My mom’s a senior citizen. But if you’re voting for Trump, it’s time for the urn.“
It’s understandable that the real estate mogul may not to be to everyone’s cup of tea, but wishing death upon those who voted for him doesn’t seem like a classy move. He then went on to offer those whose parents may have voted for Trump a little advice, stating:
“Fuck ’em. You’re an orphan now. Don’t go home. Don’t go home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Don’t talk to them at all. Silence speaks volumes.”
Shannon did reveal that noone in his family ‘would ever remotely consider voting for Trump’ . At least we can say he’s not a hypocrite. This isn’t the first time that the Boardwalk Empire star has used this promotional tour to voice his political views. Last week he declare dead that those who voted for him should form ‘the United States of Moronic Fucking Assholes,’
It certainly seems as though the actor is passionate about politics, which likely means this isn’t the last we have heard from him on the matter.
What do you think? Do you agree with Shannon? More importantly, what are your thoughts on Marmite? Let us know below!
