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 …

Arnold has been irrelevant since his Roseanne days. He must be using the old dictum “any press is good press”.

Won’t work, loser.

He’s a guy who once looked at Roseanne and said “Iwant that!”.

Ha! Ha! He’s right, Trump has caused the left to lose their minds.

When is Hillary gonna speak out about the abuse being heaped on Donald and his supporters?

Hillary can put a stop to this but her silence is deafening.

She was “gracious in defeat” said her worshippers.......so let’s see some of that graciousness now.

“Hillary, call off your attack dogs. You lost, your opponent is president......that happens in a constitutional republic.”

“Now speak up......tell your attack dogs to cut it out.”

George Zimmerman’s troubles were mostly brought upon him by Mr. Obama, Mr. Holder and the black establishment. He was merely defending himself after being assaulted by a young thug. What has happened to Tom Arnold that’s similar?

He’s not really from Hollywood, he’s from Ottumwa, Iowa. And yes, there are facilities there to take care of such people.

Tom;

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

No, Tom's at the point that he will do anything for attention, when you have zero fans any attention, he figures, is good attention! He was going to tell Trump to stay out of his pussy until someone reminded him that being a stupid bitch doesn't actually make him a woman.

Tom Arnold appears to be mentally disturbed.

Didn’t he go to rehab?
