That website sucks. BTW Anthony Hopkins isn't American, he is Welsh. He said in an interview in 2018 that he doesn't care for Trump. Hopkins also stated that he doesn't vote.
I always assumed he was
BritishEnglish. TIL. He has American citizenship though, so he has the ability to vote in US elections, he just doesn't care to.Wales is part of Britian. That would be like saying "Oh, he's a New Yorker? I thought he was American".
Don't most people from Wales consider themselves Welsh rather than British? Or is that just how Scotland and Ireland are?
They're not English, but they're British.
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification!
Ah, yeah, I always get the terms mixed up since there's like three or four terms used to refer to the collective British Isles. I meant to say English.
Sorta different, but more "Oh he's Texan? I thought he was American" because Texans don't want to be American.
You should say that about Americans; people still say the state for EU states
First of all: lmao
Second of all: I'd bet Lecter would 100% murder him if they ever met purely because Trump is just fucking insufferable and the character was known for killing rude people.
• Hannibal cutting the scull off…
"The texture's all wrong"
He sure wouldn't eat him though.
Have we ruled out Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?
Clearly dementia from untreated syphilis of the brain.
I guarantee his demented old-ass was flipping through cable channels and happened to see Silence of The Lambs on TV before his speech.
"Person, Woman, Hannibal Lecter, Camera, TV."
I don't imagine Mads Mikkelsen supporting him either...
Up next: Author Thomas Harris tells dumbass that Hannibal wouldn’t eat shit, so no. No likey.
Hannibal prefers less artificial additives in his food.
I mean, he's right, Hannibal Lecter would probably love him.
Or, at least, his cellulite.
I'd imagine not. The meat would be poorly marbled as evidenced by the man being about as sedentary as possible. Furthermore, based on my very limited knowledge of his diet, that lack of nutrition will only pass along.
God here come the "Trump said thing" headlines.
This and the "is upset about X"... Like if I care about anything else than getting this MF to pay for his crimes.
Hearing the quote; this is nonsense
He says the movie, uses the character name, and then says actor
The article does point out the actor never said that but he‘a not confusing the character for a real person
No it's not. The headline is entirely accurate. It does not claim that he confused the character for a real person anywhere, did you actually read the article? It only reports that Trump cited a fictional character, which is 100% true. And it acknowledges that he was likely referring to one of the actors who has portrayed Hannibal Lecter on film. There's nothing nonsensical or unreasonable about the reporting in this article. Nobody in their right mind goes around referring to Iron Man or Marty McFly as their favorite actors, now do they?
If you’re talking to an audience it might be easier to refer to a fictional character and say the actor of it rather than say the actor’s name
Example: saying Tom Hiddleston supports you might have people not know who that is. Saying the actor who played Loki might reach a larger audience
Lmao my god you’re just tripping over yourself to make excuses for Trump.
Your example is absolute bullshit. He didn’t say “the actor who played Hannibal Lecter” now did he? He called him Hannibal Lecter. You apologists always give yourselves away because you ignore what he actually said and start substituting it with what you wish he would’ve said instead because it sounds less stupid.
Yes he did say the actor for Hannibal Lecture in Silence of the Lambs
That’s why this article is bad and the Twitter comments that they included saying he thinks a fictional character supports him are bad
What excuses are there?
No, he didn't. Here's what Donald Trump said verbatim:
Go ahead and keep denying reality. I'm done with your pathetic attempts at gaslighting.
So you have the quote where he says movie, character, actor and you still either lack the comprehension for it or you feel the need to argue maliciously in order to find something wrong with Trump
Do better, there are lots of things he does wrong
It is ambiguous. “Hannibal Lector, how great an actor was he?” This could mean Trump thinks the actor is called Hannibal Lector, or the “he” could refer to the guy playing Hannibal Lector, which would be Anthony Hopkins. Like a lot of stuff that comes out of Trump’s mouth, it is an inarticulate mush, with the true meaning implied rather than explicit, and not worth arguing about.
I have a feeling boobies don't like you
Why?
I'm well aware.
Who else, the jigsaw? Freddy Krueger?
Hitler. That's no joke, actually.
This utter fuckhead is Bibi Netanyahu's current best friend.
Obviously it's not The Onion. It's way too weird for that.
Well, he must taste like a cheeseburger. He eats one every day doesn't he? Imagine eating a person and every bite tastes like a cheeseburger. If people tasted delicious like a cheeseburger, I'd totally hop on board the Hannibal train. I could put up with bringing my jar of pickles, my chopped onions, and other condiments to the love fest.
Yeah that sounds like something his demented ass would say.
Trump living rent free in liberal heads
There are two major wars and a climate crisis getting out of control, and you report on this?
It's /c/nottheonion. The silliness of the article is implies.
Living rent free in empty, leftists heads
