Alec Baldwin Dismisses 'Uninformed' Americans In The Wake Of Trump's Reelection
HuffPost
The "30 Rock" actor called it a "very difficult time" in the U.S. but avoided talking about Trump directly.
Alec Baldwin offered a harsh read of the American public while appearing at an Italian film festival in the wake of Donald Trump’s election win earlier this month.
During a Monday press conference at the Torino Film Festival, the “30 Rock” actor called Americans “uniformed” about world issues while he heralded the movie industry as the “only way” to deliver real information to the masses.
In a video published by Italian outlet Lo Speciale Giornale, Baldwin discussed the state of the U.S. in dire terms.
“In my country, without going into significant detail, half the people in the country are happy, and half the people in the country are very unhappy,” he told reporters. “It’s a very difficult time in the United States.”
The longtime Trump critic then shared how he thinks entertainment is “the only way people can learn what is happening” across the globe.
