Morgan Freeman Criticizes President Trump During MSNBC Appearance
Actor Morgan Freeman appeared on MSNBC’s The Last Word with host Lawrence O’Donnell, where he voiced sharp criticism of President Donald Trump. While the 88-year-old actor was ostensibly promoting a new series, the discussion quickly shifted to politics.
During the segment, Freeman asked for permission to use profanity before expressing his views on the current administration.
Lawrence O’Donnell:
“With all your life experience, and to say that the world he left is a different world from where we are now—how would you describe where we are now?”
Morgan Freeman:
“Ummm… can I use any profanity?”
Lawrence O’Donnell:
“You can say whatever you want.”
Morgan Freeman:
“Well, we have somebody sitting in the White House who’s leading us down a shthole. I can’t personally understand how a convicted felon—convicted of 34 felony counts of wrongdoing—gets to be President. How do you do that? When you 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.”*
Freeman’s remarks reference the ongoing legal cases surrounding the President, including the New York “hush money” investigation, which some critics argue has political motivations.
Despite media and celebrity criticism, President Trump won reelection in 2024, signaling continued support from the American electorate. Supporters note that the economy is strong and argue that foreign policy initiatives reflect a return to a more assertive global stance.
