28 Celebrities Who Have All Slammed Donald Trump
Amy Schumer
"My act will change because I’ll need to learn to speak Spanish because I will move to Spain, or somewhere. It’s beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It’s too crazy." - Schumer on BBC’s Newsnight, a little over a month before her recent show in Tampa, where 200 people walked out after she called Trump an "orange, sexual assaulting, fake-college-starting monster." Later Schumer, a survivor of sexual assault, asked the audience, "You know what I love? A famous guy that will just take me furniture shopping and just straight up grab my pussy."
Chelsea Handler
"It’s kind of great to have a person like that represent everything that’s wrong in the world. It’s always a good thing to look at somebody and say, ’That’s the worst thing that could happen.’ I think we should keep [Trump] in the spotlight- not as a president, obviously." - Chelsea Handler at Variety’s Entertainment and Tech Summit, months after posting her naked body to Instagram in protest against Trump and admitting on Live With Kelly and Michael that she "bought a house in another country just in case" Trump wins.
Matt Damon
"[Trump] makes me nervous... There’s no way we can let this guy be the [president]. To let that dude have the nuclear football, are you kidding me? That’s dangerous. He’s impulsive and rash, and doesn’t seem to think deeply about too many things." - Matt Damon on ABC’s Popcorn With Peter Travers. Damon’s feelings on Trump were made evident nearly a year earlier in an interview with a Spanish news agency when he called Trumps’ speech "xenophobic," "dehumanizing" and "disgusting."
Margaret Cho
"Just the nastiest. @realDonaldTrump, you literally have no moral fiber. You’re like no ply toilet paper. Just trash." - Margaret Cho in a tweet.
Amber Rose
"Jesus Christ, I can’t even think about it! I’m moving, I’m out! I can’t. And I am taking my son with me! I would be devastated, to be honest with you!" - Amber Rose discussing the possibility of Trump becoming president in an US Weekly interview.

George Clooney
“He’s just an opportunist. Now he’s a fascist; a xenophobic fascist.” - George Clooney in an interview with British newspaper The Guardian. A few months later, Clooney, who’s publically a Clinton supporter, said, "There is not going to be a President Donald Trump. Fear is not going to drive our country."

George Takei
"Trump is a cancer on our democracy. He must be rejected by all patriots, for the good of our national identity and values." - George Takei on Twitter where he’s frequently tweets about Trump or, in Takei’s words, "your uninformed, drunk relative who never, ever shuts up."
Elizabeth Banks
"Let’s give it back to him ladies. The Donald is a -4. Fat old orange POS. #giveback." - Elizabeth Banks in a tweet, months after she spoke at the DNC where she compared Donald Trump to her Hunger Games character, "a cruel, out-of-touch reality TV star who wears insane wings while delivering long-winded speeches to a violent dystopia."
Jennifer Lawrence
"If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world." - Jennifer Lawrence, who a few months later on The Graham Norton Show said that the only words she’d want to say to Trump when she meets him are "Fuck you."
Eva Longoria
"What I don’t think [Trump] understands and what people don’t understand is words create emotional poison. That’s what they do, they create emotional poison. Hitler moved a nation with words, just words. So you have to expect this backlash. If you say something like that, as he has said, you must expect a backlash." - Eva Longoria, who almost a year later delivered an impassioned speech at the DNC in which she said that Trump’s comments insult American families like hers.
Lena Dunham
“I know a lot of people have been threatening to [move to Canada], but I really will. I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there.” - Lena Dunham at the Matrix Awards, adding another comment to her long list of anti-Trump sentiments. The ’Girls’ actress is a staunch Clinton supporter and has been very vocal about Trump’s treatment of women on Twitter and other platforms.
John Legend
"He lies with a kind of cavalier frequency. He’s spread bigotry and hatred and division on a regular basis. He shows no interest or understanding for any sort of policy depth, and I feel like he’s uniquely unqualified to be president." - John Legend in an interview with CNN. Voicing his opinion on Trump isn’t novel for Legend, who’s called the Republican nominee "divisive" and "racist" while comparing him to slave owners and in other instances, such as on Twitter in response to fellow Penn alum Donald Trump Jr. While performing at a Hillary Clinton rally recently, Legend went a step further and said, "He doesn’t deserve to be elected dog catcher in your local county."
Chrissy Teigen
"@realDonaldTrump settle down Adolf Putin." - Chrissy Teigen in one of her many tweets about the presidential nominee. Teigen told Forbes that she and Legend have made it their "mission this year to really make people see how psychotic Donald Trump is," and in doing so, she’s taken to social media, calling Trump a "twat" on Twitter and a "monumental asshole" on Instagram. And Teigen has no plans of stopping any time soon, according yet another tweet: "I will never stop talking about how horrible Donald Trump is. Even after he loses, I will set an alert to my phone to remind me to not stop."
Andy Cohen
"The big orange misogynist last night stresses me out the most." - Andy Cohen in a tweet. Also on Twitter, Cohen’s said that Trump is"a disgusting hypocrite" and a "a fucking asshole" and has joked about Melania, saying things like "get out while you can," "make a run for it" and "#FreeMelania," a movement that celebrities like Emily VanCamp have joined.
Cher
“He’s so Patty McCormack: consummate liar, doesn’t care who she hurts, insane; a sociopathic narcissist. I just wish he’d fall off the face of the Earth.” - Cher in a speech at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser, in which she also compared the candidate to Stalin and Hitler and said, "I just think he’s a fucking idiot.” The Goddess of Pop has also made her anti-Trump stance evident on Twitter with comments like "dump Trump," "support him!? I’d rather chew glass," "let’s throw Trump in a volcano," and "If he were to be elected, I’m moving to Jupiter."
Johnny Depp
"If Donald Trump is elected president of the United States in a kind of historical way, it’s exciting because we will see the actual last president of the United States. It just won’t work after that." - Johnny Depp, just a few months after he called the Republican candidate a "brat" who works through "bullydom."
Mac Miller
"You know what I’mma do if you get elected? I’m staying right the fuck here, that’s right. I’m not going anywheeere. I’mma be here every day telling the world how much I hate you, how much of a clown you are, and how we as a nation are better than you will ever be." - Mac Miller, whose song "Donald Trump" was key in his breakout as an artist, as a guest on Comedy Central’s ’The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.’
Jessica Chastain
"I actually feel sick listening to [Trump] speak. The way I used to feel when a kid was having a tantrum when babysitting." - Jessica Chastain on Twitter, where she’s also called Trump "a bully" and "a child."
Amanda Seyfried
"Didn’t think I was capable of feeling hatred like this. The biggest insult to our country is this snorting piece of garbage." Amanda Seyfriend in a tweet during the second presidential debate. A few days before that, Seyfried asked the Twitterverse, "Why are we still watching a delusional, racist man-child run for dictator?"
Will Smith
"For a man to be able to publicly refer to a woman as a fat pig, that makes me teary. And for people to applaud, that is absolutely fucking insanity to me... If one of my sons, I am getting furious just thinking about it, if one of my sons said that in a public place, they couldn’t even live in my house anymore... For me, deep down in my heart, I believe that America won’t and we can’t [elect Donald Trump]. Of all the things he has said, and we could go through the laundry list, that was the one that was such an absolute illustration of a darkness of his soul. I just cannot figure out how people can clap for that.” - Will Smith in an interview with news.com.au.
Susan Sarandon
"He reminds me of a drunk uncle at a wedding, who gets up and starts talking and just loves the crowd and just goes on and on and on and says whatever he can to get a reaction. He’s like a figure from a Kurt Vonnegut novel; I can’t even address him seriously." - Susan Sarandon when introducing Bernie Sanders at a rally in January.
Robert De Niro
“He’s so blatantly stupid. He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con - a bullshit artist. A mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, doesn’t do his homework, doesn’t care, thinks he’s gaming society, doesn’t pay his taxes. He’s an idiot.” - Robert De Niro in a video released through Anonymous Content and their voteyourfuture.us campaign. The actor continues, referring to Trump as "this fool," "this bozo," and saying, "“He talks about how he wants to punch people in the face. Well, I’d like to punch him in the face.”
Kerry Washington
“The loudest, and the meanest, the bulliest candidate in the playground.” - Kerry Washington, who is even in a campaign ad for Hillary Clinton’s , On Real Time with Bill Maher. Real life Olivia Pope later added that “It’s important that we not be distracted by these very smart, very articulate, beautiful women who work on the Trump campaign, who are a lot smarter than the candidate, I think…they will not have their finger on the button - he will,” and that voting for Trump is "voting against our best interest as Americans."
Miley Cyrus
"Donald Trump is a fucking nightmare." - Cyrus on Instagram.
Louis C.K.
"Please stop it with voting for Trump. It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the 30s. Do you think they saw the shit coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all." - Louis C.K. in the postscript of an email blast promoting his web series ’Horace and Pete.’ Later in the PS, the comedian called Trump an "insane bigot," "dangerous," and "a fucking liar."
