Actor Martin Sheen had some harsh words for President Donald Trump, calling him âbiggest nothing in the world.â
Sheen, who played President Josiah âJedâ Bartlet on âThe West Wing,â was on Nicolle Wallaceâs âThe Best Peopleâ podcast that was taped earlier and published Monday, per Fox News.
The actor said Trumpâs administration was corrupt and joyless.
He also said ICE agents were wearing masks out of shame.
âThereâs no heroes in there. Thereâs no music. Thereâs no laughter. Thereâs no self-effacement. Thereâs no joy in that room. It smells of ego and fear and false worship,â Sheen said.
Wallace praised Sheenâs portrayal as president as âone of the best presidents weâve ever known.â
Sheen gave a little spiritual advice. He said humans âstart as a ânothing,ââ but, âthrough accepting vulnerability, can awaken their inner humanity,â the outlet reported.
âSo the big guy in the White House, if he would take some personal advice â you got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest ânothingâ in the world,â Sheen said. âAnd sir, you stop there. You stop listening to all these people around you, these sycophants, who are encouraging you to be your nonhuman self.â
âGet in touch with your humanity,â Sheen continued. âStop fussing with your hair and donât worry about your tie, and stand up straight and speak clearly, not from your throat. Speak from your heart and start being human. Thatâs what you were made for, not golf. So there you are, Mr. President. With all due respect, sir.â
