British comedy legend Eric Idle stated he isn’t laughing on the subject of President Donald Trump.
In a brand new Guardian interview revealed Friday, the Monty Python star was requested: “What’s genuinely funny about Donald Trump?”
“There’s nothing funny about Donald Trump,” he replied. “What will be funny is when he leaves office and we have a big party and dance in the streets.”
“Trump seems to have no end of capacity for stupidity. I think he’s a treasonous monster who works for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin,” the longtime U.S. resident added, noting he now spends summers in France to keep away from U.S. information.
“I can’t stand hearing about that man every minute of every day. They’re completely obsessed by him in the U.S. It’s like they’re addicted to him,” he lamented.
Additionally within the interview, through which Idle answered questions submitted by readers and fellow celebrities, he zinged Health and Human Companies Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (a famous vaccine skeptic) when a reader requested if his faculty nurse, known as “Nurse Idle,” had certainly, as rumored, been Eric’s mom.
“Oh yes, that’s true,” Idle confirmed. “She did give school vaccinations, and she would have hated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because she knew how important they were.”
The comic’s contempt for Trump is well-documented by way of his frequent slams of the president on social media.
In 2020, he mocked first woman Melania Trump’s leaked “Who gives a fuck about Christmas?” audio by suggesting she duet with him on his track “Fuck Christmas.”
A 12 months earlier, he poked enjoyable at Trump’s wrestle to fund his southern border wall, suggesting this Python-esque proposal:
