Edward Norton accuses Donald Trump of trying to 'cut a Nixon-style deal' using his refusal to concede the election as leverage, and urges Americans to 'call his bluff'

Actor Edward Norton has slammed President Donald Trump's longshot legal challenges to contest the election results, accusing him of sowing chaos in an attempt to avoid legal peril.

In a series of tweets on Friday, the 51-year-old Fight Club actor used a lengthy poker metaphor to accuse Trump of 'bluffing' in his legal maneuvers, urging the country to 'call his bluff.'

'I'm no political pundit but I grew up w a dad who was a federal prosecutor & he taught me a lot & I've also sat a fair amount of poker w serious players & l'll say this: I do not think Trump is trying to 'make his base happy' or 'laying the groundwork for his own network' or that 'chaos is what he loves,'' wrote Norton.

'The core of it is that he knows he's in deep, multi-dimensional legal jeopardy & this defines his every action,' he continued,

They’re not even smart enough to give the Trump lovers a chance to not be brutally angry.

The second my anger even lowers a little, it’s easy to get it right back up into the stratosphere by reading one of thousands of opinions and articles out there.

SO arrogant it makes me HATE them

Who could resist political advice from those with degrees in journalism or graduates of film school?

“His father, Edward Mower Norton, Jr., was an environmental lawyer and conservationist, who works for the National Trust for Historic Preservation”

“His father, Edward Norton Sr., was a former federal prosecutor under President Jimmy Carter’s administration and his mother, Robin, was an English teacher”

His dad was a federal prosecutor - probably one of the many dirty federal prosecutors written about by Sidney Powell in her book Licensed To Lie.

Maybe Eddie here is an expert at corruption because it runs in the family...

Edward Norton? I always knew he was a little bit goofy. But I thought he at least had some common sense. Maybe Ralph was right about him after all.

I think Trump should wait until there is consensus from those with degrees in transgender studies. (Probably won't happen. They can't even make up their mind as to which sex they are.)

Democrats would be doing the same exact thing if the shoe was on the other foot. And all of Hollywood would be cheering them on.

“...’The core of it is that he knows he’s in deep, multi-dimensional legal jeopardy & this defines his every action,’ he continued,”


I think he’s right on this point. “They” are going to go after DJT hammer and tong as soon as he leaves office. It might not be legitimate legal jeopardy, but it will be multi-dimensional. The NY State Atty General ran on a platform of going after Trump and his family. Think about the kind of jury that would sit in NYC or DC.

I do not think this is the reason he’s fighting a stolen election, I think he’s fighting it because it was stolen. We’ll see what evidence his team has hopefully beginning this week.

Maybe he can’t act, and he’s trying to diversify. (He’s not very good at poker, either. Apparently). He certainly does NOT have Donald Trump figured out. When this has all been settled, and Trump has been inaugurated again, and Norton has been shown to the whole world to be so full of bleep that his eyes are brown; will somebody please remind him of it and rub his nose in it?
