Andrew Garfield used a new Esquire interview to deliver one of the sharpest takedowns of Donald Trump from any Hollywood actor this year, calling him a "wannabe fascist, grifter, opportunist, power-hungry, ethic-less, spineless fucking pig."
The remark came during a wide-ranging conversation about his upcoming role as OpenAI founder Sam Altman in Luca Guadagnino's film Artificial. Garfield was discussing the Jungian concept of the shadow self, arguing that society's refusal to acknowledge its own darker impulses is precisely what allows figures like Trump and British politician Nigel Farage to rise to power.
"If we weren't all less rejecting in the first place, less 'that's not us', then Donald Trump wouldn't have been voted in twice, and Nigel Farage wouldn't be anywhere near a position of power," Garfield told Esquire. "Whereas if we go, 'OK, interesting — where am I [in a] wannabe fascist, grifter, opportunist, power-hungry, ethic-less, spineless fucking pig?' We can identify that this is the bad part of us."
He then added: "And then it's, 'Ah, sweet Nigel. Guys, let's just not let him get anywhere near this."
Congress should be forced to retire at 70. Salaries should be $60K, the average American salary. They should pay a minimum of $300/month for healthcare with a $1,000 deductible, like we do.
To represent us, they should live like us.

Iceland's Foreign Minister breaks down in tears over the atrocities in Gaza.
She wasn't perfect (nobody is), but one thing is certain: she would never have destroyed the White House, she would never have given $40 billion to a foreign country at the expense of her farmers, she would never have betrayed the U.S. Constitution. She would never start a new war against Iran. She would never call a journalist a “Piggy”. She would never sleep in the Oval Office. Did I miss something?
Sony told a court that no reasonable person could think they own a digital game they paid $70 for.
Their argument? If you actually owned Resident Evil Requiem, the next guy couldn’t buy it, because you’d already “possess” it.
That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard.
That’s not how movies work. That’s not how video games have ever worked. Two people can buy the same product. Owning your copy does not mean you own the entire damn game.
You hit Buy. You paid full price. And they’re in court arguing it was always a license they can revoke whenever the fuck they want.
XBOX is laughing now.
Fix your shit America. You're doomed if you don't. We can't keep warning you over and over and you don't do shit about it... time to do the bare minimum. Vote against these husks in power that are draining your country of its significance.
