What is going on in liberal actors’ minds? They seem to think we care about their opinions. They love their lectures, delivered by people who believe a golden statue on their mantelpiece makes them political experts. From their mansions in Malibu, they pass down judgment on the rest of us, convinced that fame is a substitute for wisdom. It’s enough to make you switch off the TV for good.
But every now and then, a celebrity says something so utterly out of touch, it deserves a closer look. They deliver a line with such breathtaking condescension that it perfectly captures the chasm between their world and ours. And one recent example takes the cake.
From ‘Fox News’:
Sheen, who played President Josiah “Jed” Bartlet on “The West Wing,” claimed that President Donald Trump’s actual administration is a corrupt and joyless one. After blasting ICE agents and suggesting they are wearing masks partially out of shame, Sheen said of the White House, “When you look at this group of people at the roundtable in the White House… every one of those people look across the table and they do not see anyone who is better than they are. They generally see a reflection of their worst selves.”…
“So the big guy in the White House, if he would take some personal advice — you got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest ‘nothing’ in the world… Get in touch with your humanity. Stop fussing with your hair and don’t worry about your tie, and stand up straight and speak clearly… start being human.”
The man behind that little sermon? Actor Martin Sheen. Yes, the star of The West Wing, a man whose entire claim to political relevance comes from playing a president on a liberal TV fantasy, decided to lecture the actual, sitting President of the United States. In a fawning interview, he diagnosed the Trump White House as a place smelling of “ego and fear” before offering his unsolicited advice.
The Audacity of the Teleprompter President
What is this guy thinking? Sheen’s career was built on delivering eloquent speeches crafted by a team of Hollywood screenwriters. His character was a work of fiction—an idealized liberal president who never had to face a real crisis, negotiate a real trade deal, or answer to the American people.
Yet, he has the gall to call President Trump a “nothing.” It’s an astonishing peek behind the curtain of the celebrity mindset. Thankfully, most Americans saw it for what it was. The Daily Mail noted that his remarks were widely torched as “‘self-important’ and ‘cringe’ by furious fans.” One person summed it up perfectly: “What is it with self important actors and their unsolicited advice?” Turns out, people don’t much like being lectured by the star of Apocalypse Now.
Results Speak Louder Than Scripts
So, while Sheen was auditioning for his next role as America’s moral conscience, President Trump was busy doing the actual job. He was busy achieving things that have eluded the so-called experts for decades, like brokering historic peace deals in the Middle East.
It really begs the question, doesn’t it? Let’s see Martin Sheen broker peace in the Middle East. While he was busy dispensing hairstyling tips, President Trump was making the world a safer place. This is the difference between action and acting. Sheen boasts of being arrested over 60 times—that’s his version of civic duty, I suppose—which shows he’s always preferred a protest sign to a policy solution.
The lesson here is simple. The American people didn’t elect a man who was good at pretending. They elected a leader who is good at leading. Sheen got to go home after the director yelled ‘cut.’ President Trump has to live with the consequences of his decisions, just like the rest of us.
Key Takeaways
- Martin Sheen’s comments reveal the condescending attitude of Hollywood elites.
- Actors confuse their fictional roles with real-world expertise and authority.
- President Trump’s tangible foreign policy wins outweigh empty celebrity criticism.
