Tom Arnold on the Attack: Trump Is the ‘Kingpin for Mental Illness’
LifeZette ^ | July 5, 2018 | Zachary Leeman

If there’s one celebrity the leftist media needs to stop taking seriously, it’s Tom Arnold.

The actor and comedian already proved his misogyny by attacking conservative pundit Candace Owens in a vulgar rant.

He also recently threatened to show up at Barron Trump’s school. Barron Trump — the president’s youngest child — is 12 years old. Arnold is 59 years old.

Though he’s proved his low level of rhetoric time and time again, the Hollywood liberal continues to be taken seriously by the mainstream media. He has an upcoming anti-Trump show on Vice and he’s appeared on both CNN and MSNBC.

The less said about the CNN appearance, the better. Arnold awkwardly went silent for about 40 seconds and seemed to forget why he was even on television.

In a recent MSNBC interview on “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell,” Tom Arnold attacked Trump supporters, including his own ex-wife, Roseanne Barr.

“There is a lot of anxiety in general in the public … And the president just keeps pushing that button. Instead of saying, ‘OK, America, calm down,’ he keeps hitting that button like, ‘It’s scary out there. It’s bad,'” said Arnold.

He continued, “It is like if you are a kingpin and that’s the drug, it is that internet, the fear, fear, fear. And he’s pushing that thing. That’s what he does. So he’s their kingpin for mental illness. If you got a little bit and you’re in your house, he is the guy that keeps pushing it and he knows it. And he keeps doing that instead of making things better because he thinks, ‘That’s my base. That’s my base.'”

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Arnold went on to say that his Roseanne Barr is part of mentally ill “base” and is “addicted” to the fearmongering the president pushes.

Let’s break this down real quick.

Roseanne Barr created one of the highest rated and most even-handed TV sitcoms of the year. She lost that show because of a controversial tweet that was deemed racist — a tweet for which she immediately apologized.

To make amends, she signed away the rights to her own show for free.

Arnold, meanwhile, is going on near-incomprehensible rants on television and attacking women who think differently than he does. He’s also threatening to show up at the schools of the children of people who disagree with him.

He may want to be careful about calling Barr and millions of other Americans mentally ill. You know what they say about people in glass houses …

Tom;

Are you really at the point where you can shed fans?

I’m not a psychiatrist but this guy has some severe mental issues IMO.

He has been given over to a reprobate mindset. There is no reasoning with people like this.

Tom makes such remarks about Barron Trump, yet Tom does not get a Secret Service visit? At least I didn’t hear about one, and he’s still yapping away. Tom seems to be on a George Zimmerman kind of trajectory. It’s up to each man to step off of that swirling carousel. No one can do it for them.
Wonder what his own five year old daughter will think of him when she gets older. Shame, confusion and fear.

Does Arnold go off his meds that often?

At first I thought Arnold had confused Lawrence O’Donnell with Rosie and was just trying to out do her in nuttiness but no, this is just Tom unwired!

Hopefully, he’s not allowed out after dark alone.

Correct

Were the Mark of the Beast come tomorrow, I daresay most of the rabid lefties I see online would be sporting a 666 on their right hand or forehead and turning in people without the Mark of the Beast to get their heads cut off.

But first, a “peace” covenant confirmed for 7 years and they 1/2 way through that....

The Trump is mentally ill theme is such a repeated lie, that it is like something stuck to the bottom of your shoe that you can’t shake off. For Tom Arnold’s sentence for repeating it, I call on Arnold to say his lines 400 times, like his directors do, to get it right.

Well, if wanting to have a strong economy in a confident nation with secure borders is mental illness, then I guess he’s right. But not wanting any of that strikes me as crazy, and I don’t even live in your country.

As for showing up at Barron’s school, that sounds like a really good way to spend about a week explaining one’s philosophy of life to interested folks at the local police station. Perhaps a full discussion of mental health issues will ensue.

I hope Roseanne has colorful things to say about this guy’s other opinions and just generally (bring popcorn) ...

and hey Roseanne, quit apologizing and start running for Congress or something.

Isn’t there a “home” in Hollywood for washed up, mumbling idiots who once were actors? I know - we can cit “Arnold’s Place” for delusional former actors and actresses.

We’d probably have to GoFundMe for about 50 such houses but it’d be worth it to get them off the streets before they hurt someone.

#2. Re “Are you really at the point where you can shed fans?”

Well, maybe he bought some air conditioners because he’s so “cool”.
