Actor Jeff Daniels expressed his sentiments regarding supporters of Donald Trump's potential second term. Speaking on a podcast, he directly addressed these individuals, expressing a hope that they would experience financial losses. He questioned their perspective, asking what they planned to do in response to the consequences.
Daniels predicted that Trump's policies, specifically tariffs, would ultimately impact his supporters. He anticipated that rising costs, such as increased grocery bills and higher prices for goods, would lead to dissatisfaction. He believed that people would eventually hold Trump accountable for these financial burdens. He further characterized the president with a strong metaphor.
Daniels also commented on the significant changes he observed since Trump's return to office. He lamented the erosion of values, including decency, civility, and respect for the law. He noted the normalization of online verbal abuse and bullying. He contrasted this with the ideal of electing the best representatives, rather than those who embody negative traits.
Daniels has a long and varied acting career. He has recently been involved in the television series "American Rust" and "A Man in Full." His early work included roles in films like "Ragtime," "Terms of Endearment," and "Heartburn." He gained international recognition in "The Purple Rose of Cairo" in 1985.
His filmography includes a diverse range of movies, such as "Something Wild," "The Squid and the Whale," "Speed," "Dumb and Dumber," and "Steve Jobs." He is also set to portray Ronald Reagan in an upcoming project focusing on the 1986 Reykjavik Summit, with Jared Harris playing Mikhail Gorbachev.

Daniels is an excellent actor and he has the right to share his views just like everyone else.
Leonardo
bitterness and a complete lack of empathy for anyone who thinks differently.
Michelangelo
Daniels is out of touch. He's a Hollywood elite who clearly doesn't understand the struggles of regular Americans.
Donatello
Bravo, Jeff! Someone needs to hold these people accountable for their choices and the damage they're causing.

The man's entitled to his opinion, but this is incredibly unprofessional. Actors should stick to acting, not economics.
KittyKat
He's simply stating facts. Tariffs will hit everyone's pocketbooks eventually, and the results will follow.

Instead of attacking people, maybe he should try acting? His recent roles have been, well, less than captivating.
