‘Breaking Bad’ star Bryan Cranston: If Trump ‘fails, the country is in jeopardy’
While promoting his new film, “Last Flag Flying,” Bryan Cranston spoke out against President Trump hated, added that he wants Trump to succeed.
“I honestly do. … And if you’ve got a good idea that helps the country, oh man, I’m gonna support you.”
“If he fails, the country is in jeopardy. It would be egotistical for anyone to say, ‘I hope he fails,’” Cranston explains. “To that person I would say, f— you. Why would you want that? So you can be right?”
Cranston, 61, was a vocal Hillary Clinton supporter and critic of Trump.
“President Trump is not the person who I wanted to be in that office, and I’ve been very open about that. That being said, he is the president,” he added.
“I don’t care if you’re a Republican and I’m a Democrat or whatever, I don’t care. A good idea’s a good idea. Let’s do that,” Cranston said in the Monday interview. “We’ve got to get away from this idea that our country is political football, and someone with a different opinion is the enemy. Assume they love this country as much as you do, and there’s always room for improvement. How can we make it better?”
Ahead of the November election, the popular star made outlandish claims that he’d move out of the country if Trump won: “It’s not real to me that that would happen,” the Emmy Award-winning actor said at the time. “I hope to God it won’t.”
