Singer John Legend has reportedly put out a casting call for “preferably out of shape” actors to play supporters of President Trump in a new music video.

According to TMZ, the casting call was posted on Los Angeles’s Casting Networks website and uses a photograph of several people wearing Trump shirts as an example.

The report notes that the call for actors portraying Trump supporters is the only listing with a specific body type.

Legend has criticized Trump in the past and was also an outspoken backer of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign.

Every time they do something like this, 100,000 Trump voters are created.

John Legend is a POS in a long line of POSs

That’s the difference between Trump supporters and demonicRAT supporters. When you want to make a video of out-of-shape Trump supporters, you have to seek phonies. When you want to make a video of out-of-shape demonicRAT supporters, you put a call out to the SEIU.

I’m sorry. John who?

[Jeff Chandler]

Never heard of him.

Let this sink in for a minute.....Hundreds and hundreds of small boats pulled by countless pickups and SUVs from across the South are headed for Houston. Almost all of them driven by men. They're using their own property, sacrificing their own time, spending their own money, and risking their own lives for one reason: to help total strangers in desperate need.

Most of them are by themselves. Most are dressed like the redneck duck hunters and bass fisherman they are. Many are veterans. Most are wearing well-used gimme-hats, t-shirts, and jeans; and there's a preponderance of camo. Most are probably gun owners, and most probably voted for Trump.

These are the people the Left loves to hate, the ones Maddow mocks. The ones Maher and Olbermann just *know* they're so much better than.

These are The Quiet Ones. They don't wear masks and tear down statues. They don't, as a rule, march and demonstrate. And most have probably never been in a Whole Foods.

But they'll spend the next several days wading in cold, dirty water; dodging gators and water moccasins and fire ants; eating whatever meager rations are available; and sleeping wherever they can in dirty, damp clothes. Their reward is the tears and the hugs and the smiles from the terrified people they help. They'll deliver one boatload, and then go back for more.

When disaster strikes, it's what men do. Real men. Heroic men. American men. And then they'll knock back a few shots, or a few beers with like-minded men they've never met before, and talk about fish, or ten-point bucks, or the benefits of hollow-point ammo, or their F-150.

And the next time they hear someone talk about "the patriarchy", or "male privilege", they'll snort, turn off the TV and go to bed.

In the meantime, they'll likely be up again before dawn. To do it again. Until the helpless are rescued. And the work's done.

They're unlikely to be reimbursed. There won't be medals. They won't care. They're heroes. And it's what they do.

AMEN.

WTF is a John Legend? A legend in his own mind? Never heard of him, has he sold millions of records? Must be one of those performers that are loved by the heads of mush?

[cicero2k]

That’s akin to asking butch Lesbian looking players to portray HRC supporters. MSM would not let that slide, but this they will.

[BenLurkin]

I’m not ‘out of shape’......I’m shaped like an egg.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Hey, John, a thank you to us for doing all the work and paying all the taxes is sufficient. Good luck on getting that thing you married to sober up.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I fit the physique spec now that I’m getting on in years. If hired, I’d pull a MAGA hat out and ruin the shoot.

Liberals, including this particular liberal Hollywood idiot, would be stunned at how many Trump supporters are out there.

WE know, because he won the election, after all.

But I mean, the liberals who profess to be so tolerant and respectful and who demand we dismantle stereotypes, push a stereotype of Trump voters as neanderthal backwoods hick types, wearing tank top t shirts, torn jeans, drive a pick up truck, all of that.

People such as John Legend and the other Hollywood idiots, would be stunned at many. I’m in a white collar field. Let me just say that Trump has a lot of supporters among MBA and management types who wear a suit to work. Something for them to think about.

I’m looking for an imbecile to play John Legend in a movie.

I’m hanging out at Starbucks. Target rich...

[Califreak]

May God richly bless them all.

(My screen suddenly got blurry...)

[HokieMom]

I know. Mine, too.

He's married to some white chick that is/was a model, who had a show on the Food channel.

I only remember because she recounted a kitchen mishap in which her musician husband cut a finger...

[MagUSNRET]

Hey John...why not cast it with alcoholics, and your idiot wife can have the lead!!

[Fiddlstix]

Wonderful Post!

[americas.best.days...]

I have a funny feeling Twitter is going to respond hilariously. ( as in photos of both smoking hot Trump fans and hideously ugly Mrs. Clinton fans.)

[RegulatorCountry]

I actually liked his music before he became “somebody” and it went to his head.

Keep digging that hole, John, it’s been so effective thus far.

For us, lol.
