After lending his celebrity to help Hillary Clinton win the White House, Hollywood screen legend Morgan Freeman now says Donald Trump has no choice but to be a “good president.”
“As for politics today, I supported Hillary in the election, and now it feels like we are jumping off a cliff,” Freeman said in wide-ranging interview with AARP: The Magazine. “We just have to find out how we land. I’m not scared, though.”
But Freeman, who narrated a campaign ads for Clinton during the primary and the general election, says he’s being positive about Trump’s presidency.
“I’m holding out hope that Donald Trump has to be a good president,” the Ben-Hur actor said. “He can’t not be. What I see is a guy who will not lose.”
Freeman’s comments were made before Trump’s signed an executive order temporarily prohibiting the arrival of Syrian refugees into the United States and halting the entry of most citizens from Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Libya.

He’s a lefty but he’s still going to get hated on for saying anything remotely positive about Trump. The Left is insane.
Somewhere, pigs are flying!
God bless him.
woot. he’s probably not the only one!
Shocker
He was one of the last I’d ever expect to hear this from
Wow.
Glad to hear it.
Oh thank goodness.
This means his career is over.
Might be Trump and Chicago
remember him as “Easy Reader” 45 years ago. go to 1:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u8MY7PjSXU
He's very personable and likable.
I have been a Morgan Freeman fan since Electric Company.
I’m not trashing Freeman by any stretch of the imagination, but these weren’t exactly over the top comments.
They were just normal run of the mill adult thoughts.
Even with this, he is far ahead of the pack.
He deserves respect for making them. I don’t think we go nuts over them, because they are just common decency comments.
They were nice thoughts and I appreciate them.
Good for him.
Knowing he’d get heat, he made them anyway.
Class act on this.
Broken Watch Freeman must be on time for this second.
He probably has said enough to get blacklisted now.
Thanks for linking that clip in.
What a hoot.
He had that same style of delivery back then.
Quite unique.
There is every possibility that even amongst the Left there are 5th column Trump supporters who chant Leftist slogans with empty voices, march with dragging feet, and work for their party leaders with clumsy hands.
I got this quote in e-mail, so whatever it's worth:
"There's great like-minded people out there who are Americans first and Republicans or Democrats second"
"I hope the president-elect does such a great job that I vote for his re-election in 4 years."-Tom Hanks 11/15/2016
Well, in a climate where you can’t say Trump in a sentence without trashing him, you’ve got a real point there.
