Actor Alec Baldwin blasted President Trump for not changing his personality since taking office and for fooling "all these flyover Americans" into backing his candidacy in 2016.
Appearing on PBS' "Amanpour & Co" on Monday night, the "30 Rock" star began by saying how everyone who has had the job as president changed while serving "except" for Trump, who he predicted would be "the only man in American history that the presidency of the United States has had no effect on."
"After he won, which was horrifying to me, because if you're a New Yorker, you're onto Trump -- he's not the host of 'The Apprentice' who's fooled all these flyover Americans that he's this crack businessman," Baldwin said. "We kind of know he's something else. But even so, when he won, I thought to myself, he's gonna change. Give it a year, and we'll see a different Trump.
"And no. He's the same now, which -- this is the real tragedy -- he's exactly the same today as he was back in November of 2016."
Journalist Walter Isaacson pressed Baldwin on the "resentment" many people feel toward left-leaning coastal elites in New York and Hollywood after he referred to "flyover Americans," noting that such resentment "leads to a Donald Trump."

Alec Baldwin: jerk of the year
You are funny and handsome, Alec. But we don’t need your political pontificating.
Kinda hard to be a good man, and a good businessman
in the environment the power focused among us have
made for us, without a few ups and downs.
Yet they could not destroy him.
He persists. Winning. So Much.
I think he has help.
Thank God.
Yea , and all you city shitheads are just so know-it-all,everything. You pusillanimous pukes make me sick.
interesting. Fox News.......doubling down on we report you decide
I have to admit that the only way that Trump fooled me was how conservative he turned out to be. His past didn’t indicate this inclination and now I’m a 100% Trumper.
Fat Alec says this like it's a bad thing.
I swear, the derps live in opposite land.
It's a wonderful thing to see somebody go to DC, the belly of the beast, be surrounded by derpishness and not themselves morph into a derp.
God bless The Donald. May he never change.
p.s. Go F yourself, Arec Barwin.
Funny? How is he funny?
I've laughed AT him, like when he gets filmed by paparazzi going off on his wife or taped calling his young daughter the C word. Now that's kinda funny.
But funny haha? Not so much.
And he passed handsome 150 pounds ago.
"Fool us once ..... Won't get fooled again".
And speaking of fools, did you even notice that in the same breath, you first claim that nobody in your social group even once watched The Apprentice, and then go on to describe everything about that show you didn't like?
This.
"God bless The Donald. May he never change."
And This. Amen.
I guess brother don't count as part of one's "social circle".
Oh yes. Only you smarmy leftists in your big cities know what’s best.
What a turd.
These Hollywierd jerks don’t understand that some people like Trump are genuine men and not phony screen “actors” role playing.
Since he has turned out to be clean as a whistle, as evidenced by the anal probe he has received for the past four years, apparently Mr. Trump is something other than what Mr. Baldwin and all his other lib New York friends have always thought.
One thing that never gets mentioned: Mr. Trump is a DEVELOPER. Developers earn a special kind of contempt from the left.
Takers have always hated makers.
Kind of an Eloy/Morlock thing.
What kind of pipe is Baldwin smoking? I know one thing, once you are exposed to the ideology of the Left, you become a zombie. Add narcotics and you become a lunatic zombie.
waaaaa still butt hurt over Corrupt AF Hillary’s loss of the election she and the media plotted to steal.
“too big to fail”
Waaaaaaaa
I don’t see our president changing anytime soon thank goodness. :-) he is what he is I love him for that
Yes he has treated his family horribly. Poor Ireland.
And he is a bit overweight but I guess I can’t criticize him on that. I’m not exactly ballerina size person.
