The anti-President Trump vitriol thrown around on social media by Hollywood elitists is like riding a Ferris wheel where one of these entertainers takes the ride all the way around, gets off, and another hater tag teams them out so that they can spew viciousness.
Sometimes they don’t even take turns either; they just rapid-fire tweets back and forth like a ping-pong match because it makes them feel better when they disparage Trump, his administration and supporters. It’s a constant and never-ending.
And this famous actor just blew a fuse that got a lot of attention.
Liberals, especially famous Hollywood entertainers love to make it clear where they stand on politics.
The liberal mainstream media loves to ask celebrities how they feel about Trump because it will make headline news the next day and that is very profitable sellable content for all news institutions.
Then there are other times when nobody asked for their thoughts and they’ll tweet it out anyways.
Enter actor Josh Charles who did just that on Twitter.
Charles is known for the short-lived Sports Night, his supporting role on The Good Wife and the classic 1980’s Robin Williams film Dead Poets Society.
He did not shy away with how he felt about Trump and his supporters. The actor maliciously tweeted, “I’m so sick of this mothef–ker. Just so sick. This needs to end. F–k him and every single person who continues to support him and his dangerous administration.”
I’m so sick of this mothefucker. Just so sick. This needs to end. Fuck him and every single person who continues to support him and his dangerous administration.

Approximately an hour later, he followed it up with another tweet, “Before we impeach the motherf**ker can we at least put a muzzle on the motherf**ker’s mouth. Pence too?”

It’s odd, too, when you see that he censored the “F-word” in his follow up tweet. Did he suddenly develop a moral consciousness in that hour? The funny thing too is that it’s not clear why he chose to attack Trump at this very moment. Why now?
And then this became one of those tag-team moments with fellow actor and supporting star on House of Cards, Michael Kelly – who played the murderous Doug Stamper and White House Chief of staff.
He tweeted:
Fuck yeah @MrJoshCharles I’m right there with ya man. This is utter fucking madness and chaos. America deaserves so much better.

Needless to say, many Twitter users were not happy with this kind of vitriol towards them because Charles’ comments patronize them as supporters of Trump.
One Twitter user named David Simmons destroyed him by saying, “I like the work you do as an actor. That’s your job. Using your “celebrity” to tell me how you feel in any venue is not wanted or needed. I do my job (like taking passengers safely from LAX to Aspen for skiing) and don’t use the PA to tell you how I feel.”

On his Pence tweet, rms wrote, “F**k You !!! How about I post this all over the internet so 65 million ppl don’t watch your stupid a** show?! You are disgusting disrespecting the president of the United States! What the f**k do you do for this country??!! Mon[ey] can’t buy class you animal.”
Another Twitter user named Sweetlipps2 also chimed in, “The idiots in Hollywood come out in droves..it’s funny to me that no one had a problem with Trump until he became president so now they drink an invent problems .lol..love to see Hollywood at it’s lowest thank you for the gripe so the line formes to the left for complaints…”
All of these tweets got many likes and retweets, and in some cases, they were the highest ranked comments, so it looks as though Charles’ comments weren’t very popular with many users.
One has to think that this may have been a ploy to gain popularity – which backfired spectacularly – because his career is dwindling. The only IMDB credit he has going for him right now is a Documentary called Framing John DeLorean. That’s it.
When you think about it, it makes sense. Something all of these Hollywood elitists share is their hatred of Trump. So that means if you can let it be known where you stand, then suddenly you’re in the good graces of the powerful people that run the industry.
