Martin Sheen took on “big guy” Donald Trump and his Cabinet on Monday by offering “some personal advice” for the president.
“You got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest nothing in the world,” said the “West Wing” actor during an MSNBC live event with host Nicolle Wallace.
Sheen, following several seconds of applause from the crowd, proceeded to urge Trump to “stop there.”
“You stop listening to all these people around you, these sycophants who are encouraging you to be your non-human self,” he advised.
“Get in touch with that humanity. Stop fussing with your hair, don’t worry about your tie and stand up straight and speak clearly, not from your throat. Speak from your heart and start being human. That’s what you were made for, not golf. So there you are, Mr. President — with all due respect, sir.”
“When you look at this group of people at the round table, in the White House, the Cabinet room, 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,” he said.
“So there’s no heroes in there, there’s no music, there’s no laughter, there’s no self-effacement, there’s no joy in that room. It smells of ego and fear and false worship.”
