President Bartlet has spoken.
Martin Sheen, who portrayed President Josiah “Jed” Bartlet on “The West Wing” for several years, didn’t have anything nice to say about the Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump.
The 76-year-old actor blasted Trump in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, calling the GOP candidate “scary.”
“Oh Don Trump. He makes me laugh, in that nobody seems to get it yet,” Sheen said. “He’s an empty-headed moron. That he has absolutely nothing to offer us. That he’s done his bidding and he has to be responsible for the damage he’s already done.”
After bashing Trump, Sheen explained why he was a big supporter of Hillary Clinton, brushing off her email investigation and denying she did anything wrong in Benghazi.
“Please, if you want to talk about how much her mistakes have cost us, none in human lives — and please don’t mention Benghazi. That’s a lot of crap,” the actor said. “She was not controlling that situation. It was a military situation. And that’s run by the Pentagon or the CIA or both. She’s under orders.”
If Clinton gets elected, we think it might be wise to find a cabinet seat for good ol’ Jed.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.
