Jon Cryer shared his opinion about President-elect Donald Trump as he left LAX on Friday.
The 59-year-old actor called Trump and his second presidency “a clown show” and pointed to his first presidency as proof.
Cryer also warned Democrats not to expect Trump to change his ways and to get ready for “four more years.”
Jon Cryer Says Donald Trump Was ‘Terrible’ At Being President
TMZ spotted Cryer at the Los Angeles International Airport on Jan. 3, and they asked the “Two and a Half Men” star about Trump’s upcoming second term in office, which begins on Jan. 20.
After joking about not being invited to the inauguration, Cryer was candid in expressing his views about the twice-impeached convicted felon and said Trump was “a terrible” president.
“You know? I won’t say I’m cautiously optimistic,” he began. “It’s a clown show already, you know? We… we’ve already seen, you know? He did this once before. He was terrible at it the first time. It’s not gonna get better.”
“It’s just about everybody, you know, hunkering down, trying to make sure the people we love don’t get hurt,” he added. “And let’s hold this guy accountable at some point in his life.”
Cryer Says Trump Doesn’t Like America
Cryer said he will not be watching Trump’s second presidential inauguration on Jan. 20 while claiming the former POTUS “doesn’t even like” the United States of America.
“I don’t know if you remember his American Carnage speech the first time he was inaugurated,” said Cryer. “Uh, this is not a man about — he doesn’t understand America. He’s, you know, he — he doesn’t even like it.”
“What’s he going to say? You know how he — what he does when he gives speeches,” he continued. “He just rambles. He’s a — he’s a — he’s — it’s word salad.”
Cryer Calls Trump ‘A Clown Show’
When asked his opinion about the Democrats being optimistic about working with Trump, Cryer warned them to consider his previous presidency for insight.
“I think they’re making a mistake,” he said. “He is who he is. We’ve seen who he is.”
“He changes his — uh, uh, his stance every five minutes,” he continued. “So, they’re hoping they can take advantage of that, but it’s not — he, it — it’s a clown show. Trump is a clown show. We’re going to have four more years of clown show. Hope you can enjoy it.”
Cryer’s Comments Garned Aggressive Reactions On Social Media
After a video clip was shared by the outlet on X, several users offered blunt responses to the “Pretty in Pink” star.
“What a cry baby,” wrote one X user. “‘Two and Half Men’ wasn’t funny either.”
“This guy sounds like such a wimpy baby,” added one. “He was the half in two and a half men, he has a p-ssy.”
Another user and MAGA follower replied with a curt, “#JonCryer is a dumb c-nt. He should stick to playing the average beta male cuck on TV and shut the f-ck up.” Yikes!
At least one X user seemed to agree with Cryer and noted, “I agree. Trump needs to be held accountable. Give the man credit for all the things he has done for us and everything he’s about to do.”
Donald Trump Was Impeached For Incitement Of January 6 Insurrection
Trump was impeached and indicted for inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol assault in Washington, D.C. back in 2021. The assault is commonly referred to as “the insurrection.”
At least 140 police officers were injured during the attack when at least 10,000 Trump supporters stormed the Capitol grounds, with 2,000 MAGA rioters using violence to force their way inside the Capitol building. Five people lost their lives.
Impeachment documents state that Trump, “consistently issued false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people.”
“He then repeated those claims when addressing a crowd on January 6, and ‘willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—lawless action at the Capitol’.”
Trump was also impeached for trying to overthrow the 2020 election results. However, the Senate acquitted him in a 47-53 vote, and the former president was re-elected in the 2024 election.
