Actor Jim Carrey is putting an end to his political artwork, where he has bashed former President Donald Trump as well as former First Lady Melania Trump and other Republicans.
Carrey wrote in a statement posted to Twitter over the weekend, “For the past four years, among other commitments, I put considerable effort into this collection of political protest cartoons.”
“It truly feels as though you and I have crossed an ocean of outrage together…but something tells me it’s time to rest my social media gavel and reclaim a little neurological bandwidth,” he continued.
The actor noted he had been on a “quest to rid our democracy of ‘Orange Julius Caesar’ and his empire of lies.”
“I just assumed that a radicalized America is a threat to us all,” Carrey wrote. “When a madman grabs the wheel of the bus loaded with innocent passengers and threatens to drive it off a cliff, it tends to steal everyone’s focus.”

His final political artwork read, “American virtue,” portraying Trump holding a sparkler that is almost burnt out.

Carrey has been vocal in his criticism of Trump, calling the now-previous administration a “rabid dog.”
