Alec Baldwin at George Washington University: ‘We Can’t Be Mean Enough’ to President Trump
Bretbart News ^ | 15 Nov 2017 | Ben Kew

Alec Baldwin, best known for his role impersonating President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, said that people could “not be mean enough” to Trump because he’s wasting the “tremendous opportunity” of serving as president.

“We can’t be mean enough to this guy,” Baldwin told an audience at George Washington University, his alma mater, claiming that President Trump was squandering the “tremendous opportunity” he had been given to serve as president.

“I thought he would take a deep breath and say, ‘I’m the president now,’ and begin to focus on, not only the power and the prestige and all of those kinds of tactile but more common perks and benefits of being president,” Baldwin said.

The talk was also meant to promote Baldwin’s new book, You Can’t Spell America Without Me, a satirical memoir of Trump’s time in office.

Baldwin also claimed he would make a good president himself, and mentioned a possible run for office.

“Would I think I’d be a good president? Yeah, I think I’d be a good president,” he said. “To run for office is something that I want to do,” he said, adding that it “doesn’t seem to be practical with my lifestyle and my children.”

The SNL star shared a similar viewpoint earlier this year, arguing that Trump will win in 2020 unless another more compelling candidate were to run against him. Baldwin went so far as to suggest that he would consider running for office.

“I would love to run for office because I think people need something different,” Baldwin said in an April interview with Extra, adding, “I think that all the people that are on deck in 2020, none of them are going to win.”

***Baldwin also claimed he would make a good president himself, ***

A lunatic was about to vapor lock at the VA the other day she was so angry. She said Trump is a racist. I asked her to give me one example where a black person has accused Trump of racism. Her response was “Are you kidding me?”. So, you’re right. There’s no sense arguing with them.

Remind me why I’m supposed to be nice to people like Alec Baldwin?

Because he's such a patient loving daddy to his pre-teen daughter:

Alec Baldwin to daughter - "thoughtless little pig"...

A guy like that is certainaly someone to respect, admire, listen to, and be nice to. Don't you agree?

Of course not.

Liberalism is a movement animated by emotion. It’s also very attractive to people who realize that they’re severely lacking in compassion, and often have done some pretty horrible things. Such lacking humans will be far more receptive to reacting negatively with hatred.

While all the hatred, violence and hatred doesn’t come exclusively from the left, the staggeringly overwhelming majority does.

Pipe down AleC, “best known for playing Donald Trump on SNL.”

Ha, ha! That’s gotta hurt AleC! You’re best known for”playing” someone you hate! It’s called ‘irony” AleC!

Did anyone in that room watch any of PDJT’s speeches in Asia? HA, they probably don’t even know that he was there.

Listening to the attacks on Trump, I often think “that’s exactly how Obama made me feel”, but I was too grown up to say it.

Conservatives sat still for 8 long years of gratuitous ‘over reach’ by a guy NO one believed credible or capable! Not one car was overturned, not one window was smashed, not one noisy disorderly ‘demonstration’ took place... but THESE clowns are behaving like spoiled and unsupervised children.

"You are a rude, thoughtless little pig. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child,..."

Yeah, go ahead and run for President. MAKE MY DAY, you idiot!

Amen! Please send that as a tweet/email and/or FB message to blowhard, fool, fat, washed up pretender, Alec Baldwin.

Thank you!

Thank Goodness Alec let his feelings be known! I can never make up my own mind about things until I get his point of view.

Do you still call your daughter a “little pig” and fight with people in the street, Alec?

Maybe you should take an anger management class...or two.

Is that a veiled call for the assassination of President Trump coming from Baldwin? How far does “can’t be mean enough” extend?
