Alec Baldwin is convinced that only “mentally ill” Americans will vote for President Trump’s reelection in November.
The liberal actor-activist pivoted from his 2019 stance that voters took “poison pills of racist hatred” before voting for Mr. Trump, now maintaing that millions will pull the lever for the Republican due to mental illness.
“Trump has reached for, and nearly gained, a control of the federal govt unrivaled by other Presidents,” he tweeted Wednesday. “He fired huge numbers of govt professionals. He steamrolled the Congress, whenever possible. And now this [criticism of the World Health Organization]. If you vote for Trump again, you are mentally ill.”
The actor’s previous tweet included an article by The New York Times on the president’s willingness to give WHO funding “a good look” in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
“The W.H.O. really blew it,” Mr. Trump tweeted Tuesday. “For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China-centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately, I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?”
Mr. Baldwin’s rhetoric in recent months has also included the claim that Mr. Trump is a greater threat than the contagion.
“The pandemic that threatens the world is Trump,” Mr. Baldwin tweeted Feb. 29.
“The virus in the US began in January of 2017. The vaccine arrives in November,” he added March 31.
Johns Hopkins University tabulated over 4,000 deaths in New York City as a result of the coronavirus as of Wednesday.
