During a candid interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston had some harsh words for those liberals who hope for President Trump to fail as leader of the free world.
Hollywood Reporter reminded Mr. Cranston of his former statements against Trump during the election cycle last year: “You’ve previously been particularly vocal about your opposition to Trump. Has your opinion changed throughout his first year in office?”
Cranston took the opportunity not to trash the President, but in a rare display of self-awareness, remarked on his astonishment at fellow Americans who are actively hoping for failure:
It’s just astonishing to me. President Trump is not the person who I wanted to be in that office, and I’ve been very open about that. That being said, he is the president. If he fails, the country is in jeopardy. It would be egotistical for anyone to say, “I hope he fails.” To that person I would say, fuck you. Why would you want that? So you can be right?
I don’t want him to fail. I want him to succeed. I do. I honestly do. … And if you’ve got a good idea that helps the country, oh man, I’m gonna support you. I don’t care if you’re a Republican and I’m a Democrat or whatever, I don’t care. A good idea’s a good idea. Let’s do that. We’ve got to get away from this idea that our country is political football, and someone with a different opinion is the enemy. Assume they love this country as much as you do, and there’s always room for improvement. How can we make it better?
