Jon Cryer: I have Trump supporters in my family—I feel for them on some level, because we in the entertainment industry created this guy. We built up this image of a billionaire, this brilliant businessman, and it was never him. He was always kind of a moron...
‘Kind of’????
Completely,and Trump is showing his "moron” self everyday. When will they see the difference between an evil greedy felon & a reality tv show host "made up persona?”
Agree, Cryer, so why didn’t/doesn’t everyone in entertainment speak up more decisively & publicly abt what a moron he really is?
No, I don't feel for them. They have every opportunity to think for themselves and do research on him themselves. We shouldn't have to hold their hands. They made their choices.
🫠🫠🫠
But we’ve had a decade of explaining that Trump is not a businessman. He’s a bankruptcy, con man, a mobster and economic moron who bankrupted casinos, and many other businesses. So no, “I don’t feel for them” at all anymore.
🎯🎯🎯
I have tried to tell my Maga family and friends the truth. They are now finding out and they are going to be madder at me for knowing he was a liar than they will at him for being one. I was called a Demoncrat by someone I had known since I was a child. This is cult level 💩.
If anyone think this as bad as they expected, they will be in for a shock bc we still don’t know a lot of the worse 💩 that’s been done yet
Television was a blessing and a curse. The internet was a blessing and a curse. Improperly regulated, all mass communication advances are both, including AI.
In life, many people fall for the con. He’s a conman. Always was, always will be.
I've separated myself from ALL Trump humpers, family or not. And I'm never letting any of them back into my life. They don't deserve any grace in my view.
He was handed a GOLDRN EGG by “sleepy Joe” (a REAL PRESIDENT) and he crashed and burned our country in 3 months “playing” he’s “Art of The Deal” bullshit games!
That is true--without the Apprentice Trump would never have the kind of visibility to run successfully for POTUS. However, what really created Trump more than anything was the arrival of FOX News in the 90s--they paved the way for indoctrination of millions who would accept someone like Trump.
I always object to ‘he actually believes’. The only things he believes is money and power.
Mark Burnett. Thanks, Buddy... Donnie would be begging for money at freeway offramps if not for you.
He'd probably be in jail or living in Russia.
He's a total moron!! From age 4 he has been a "bad seed".
A good friend once told me that ignorance will open more doors than competence.
I don’t think you created him. He had been lying about himself for decades, but I think the industry enabled him, and the press continues to do so.
Excellent Jon !
Hollywood spent decades polishing a reality TV avatar and handed it the nuclear codes. How do you even begin to fix that?
We all saw it. The rest of the world saw it. Somehow others did not. How do you fix that?
Redistribute wealth fairly?
Only by changing the rules of capitalism to make them fair. Higher taxes on the rich. Build more affordable housing. Not by giving new home owners 25k.
I’m telling ya Jon , put on dark sunglasses and do this as “Andrew Tate “ and fck with MAGAs mind.
They did it from the beginning, billions of $ of free press, in reality they created a monster, they hated him in NY but no one listened,he was a liar when he spoke his first words,and he never got pushback because he made the industry money,it’s always about the money,greed and power.So here we are
Call your Rep. and Senator every day. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Email them through their websites. Tell them this: 1. Call for impeachment. Loudly. Daily. 2. Visit the concentration camps in El Salvador and demand to see your constituents. Or don’t ask for money… (Please repost)
Agree with the sentiment, but I disagree with the idea that Trump thinks these tariffs will bring back jobs. Even Trump isn't that stupid. He knows it is bad for the country, but he doesn't care. It is an end run around Congress. He can spend the tariff money directly and without their consent.
@mrjoncryer.bsky.social rocks!
Have them watch this movie… American Mindf*ck
www.mind-war.com/p/american-m...
No, i'm afraid you're wrong, it's much much worse than you thought it would be
I'm not sure I agree with "kind of."
Whenever I watch reruns of the Nanny and he pops up as a member of the New York elite I cringe. Especially since absolutely no Broadway producers or old money British families were rubbing elbows with him in the 90s. If ever. He was too crass. But media made him the face of wealthy New Yorkers.
No John, he was always and idiot, you just had to look, it was obvious right from the start with "Art of the Deal" that this guy was a narcissist and a moron. All hollywood did was make him seam smart for those that were not.
Lost all my family to a cult. Lost all my money in the stock market. Lost all my freedoms to a corrupt regime. This crap needs to stop! #Impeachtrump
Kind of??? How about a REAL moron.
Reality tv is trash.
Yep I blame Mark Burnett and Andy Cohen
Yes, Trump's phony "genius businessman" image was created by TV, and that may have been an excuse for some Trump voters in 2016. But there has been a constant avalanche of evidence since then that he is a total moron, not to mention a criminal and a bigot. I hope every MAGAt suffers horrifically.
“Kind of”?
It wasn't just the entertainment industry. It was the news not having the balls to call shit out. It was the Dems always wanting that kumbaya bipartisanship bullshit. Remember Michelle and her "When they go low we go high!"? Yeah, doesn't work and never will. FUCK Trash supporters.
You are my hero! Thanks
Thankfully I have no family that are Trumpers.
He is a moron… Denmark knows it. They’ve dedicated a moron cake to Trump. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
Oh no Jon, he is a moron.
The words “kind of” seem gratuitous
Not "kind of a moron" just a real, full time moron. Why do so many people feel they have to hedge like that?
There is a reason @mrjoncryer.bsky.social is a champion and out front as one of our most trusted vocal supporters. FOR THIS REASON. Thank you Jon for everything you do in helping to keep this country from the arms of a dictator! 🤘
With all due respect, Jon, there is no "kind of"
Oh please 😩 They don’t feel for you.
So, we scammed. We swindled. Nobody heard the racist and misogynistic comments or saw the alleged cheating, the bluffing, or his hair taking off in the wind slate.com/culture/2024...
Good to know. Because I never understood where he came from. Now put him back, please.
I have a sister in South Africa. She has never even been to the USA but is in the MAGA cult. Since I criticised Trump she has taken herself off our family group chat. It is like she is in the scientology cult. You are either with Trump or you are exiled out of her life.
“Kind of” is being very generous 😂
Even his own mother said he would not make a good president.
I doubt Trump got his tariff fever from watching Fox for many years.Fox used to be pro-free trade and claimed that tariff supporters, like Bernie, were all socialists.There are many reasons for Trump to like them: lower taxes for the rich, increased bribe opportunities, imperialistic impulses, etc.
Jon Cyer must have some very stupid relatives.
We all do.
Yup @mrjoncryer.bsky.social is right. It was nbc and Burnett who created this image of a successful businessman when he was just a loser. They had to actually create a board room set because the real one in trump tower was so shitty.
Kind of a moron? I’d argue there hasn’t been any one stupider to reach the levels he has just on lies and a WWE style persona of lies
All. Day. This. He’s absolutely spot on. Our news media and entertainment industry created this aura around the man, which turned into a false narrative of skillets he’s never had and never will.
Donald moved to Florida after he realized he couldn't make it from the tower to the limo without getting eggs thrown and raw egg in his hair. New Yorkers just love the guy. lol
I also feel for them on "some level:" I "feel" that they are amoral rotten-to-the-core imbeciles and compulsive liars just like their cult leader is. I have nothing but contempt for their rotten, evil, depraved souls who would inflict this hideous monster straight from the bowels of hell on us.
I never bought it. He is a disgusting pervert then and now.
A message from AI Donald Trump 👇 youtu.be/cthNNNrDaBk?...
And he's still entertaining. He thinks he's a "star." Half of the attraction to trump by MAGA is his entertainment value. They must be entertained at all times, and he certainly accommodates them. They'd rather be entertained than educated.
Trump treats press briefings like open mic night at a nursing home for narcissists.
This is a perfect description of him.
Dementia Don
Then make Luigi the exact same kind of American Freedom Fighter. Genuine fighter. I dare Democrats to bring the real receipts. Fuck the lobbies. Build a new system. Amid this horrific chaos, is an empty lot where America used to be. Head out to Walz Country and set up a shadow Opposition. Thrive
Thanks god for semicolons. 🤗
Having been to my mother's nursing home during some Sunday morning "visiting church" revival-type presentations, I have to agree with you.
They've had access to other information besides Fox though.
www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvi... This one…
"kind of"???
I wouldn't put that blame entirely on the entertainment industry. MSM also played a big part. I don't feel sorry for people who still support him, though, because there is enough factual information out there to counteract his original fabricated image.
Kind of?
True. And that’s why now more than ever the media — and all of us — have to speak up against Trump and the damage he’s doing to our country. Our economy, our democracy, our social interactions with others, our status worldwide, he’s hurting everything!
“Kind of”?
Kind of?!?
The BEST MORON.
He does have a great point. It's a sobering reality.
Don’t feel bad cutting off those trumpers. I had to. Many, if not all, are beyond help.
People with more then two brain cells saw through this ‘Hollywood’ scam and knew he was a cruel, classless moron.
An unqualified grifter
Political reality as reality tv :(
Full interview and more from MeidasTouch here: youtu.be/E5pJ0j8_NV8
Yeah, we told you folks who he was and you said we had TDS. I have a hard time feeling sorry for you now.
Exactly, and the people saying "Guys, we should still try to reach across the aisle" are also part of the problem because they can't seem to remember Dems trying again and again with the whole bipartisanship bullshit only for them to turn around and get stabbed by Repugnicants. Fuck sympathy.
Yup. We’ve all known who he is since the 80’s and people still fell for the con.
youtu.be/0LDej3hcldQ?...
Excellent stats in this video… knowledge is power!
I hope something can be achieved with this. Even if it is passing on the knowledge.
I believe it will be.
bsky.app/profile/cher...
This guy is a sociopath.
I know!!! He’s the one I speak out about the most. He’s the one influencing trump and vance
@muddybog.bsky.social
Just, Thank you. ☺️
You are so welcome. Feel free to peruse my posts… and pinned posts. So much that others have sent me. So spot on!!
Yarvin is Musk’s friend. I wonder why ?
Lol! Two peas in a pod. Three…. If you count theil.
Yes make that 4 with Vance. They are all swimming in the same swamp and they all know each other. This is rather shocking 😮 www.businessinsider.com/who-was-elon...
📌
Still is a moron. The difference now is he holds the levers of US power & seems hellbent on burning it down.
Fuck all Trumpies, seriously. All of them.
we need to reject the idea of The Great Man. Whether the guy is Trump or Elon Musk or Barak Obama none of them are Great Men. Some people are capable of doing some good things because of their experiences, education, background, and we should be glad about that. No one is good at everything.
If it wasn’t for Mark Burnett, the abomination that is Trump, would’ve probably been imprisoned a long time ago.
I’m proud of myself for never having fallen for the Trump ogling - even in the 80’s I had him pegged for an asshole.
Ahahahah! Donald Trump is a loser. Always has been, always will be.
I love the comparison of Donald Trump to Charlie Sheen, except Sheen would be a better president.
I watched the first season of the Apprentice when it came out but just saw him as a TV character or host of a TV show. Sad that ppl took him so seriously. 🤷🏻♀️
May Marc Burnett burn for bringing to us.
This will certainty get a few people riled up that Jon has an opinion. But he's right.
No we. Jeff Burnett
Decades from now they’ll show the aprentice in history class. They’ll accurately tell the kids that Americans were such simpletons in the early 21st century that they thought it was real & elected a dangerous fool. The kids will laugh like we laugh at the rubes that fell for the war of the worlds
I do not feel sorry for Trump supporters. They knew exactly what they were getting into.
I love Cryer.
It wasn't just the entertainment industry -- it was also his capture of the tabloid creators, along with being enabled repeatedly by Larry King on Larry King Live!.
I agree with all of this except "kind of." Trump is a moron, period end of.
The real problem is that society looks up to the ultra wealthy. Why? They aren’t getting there without exploiting people and pulling up the ladder. Fuck them.
Kind of?
kind of? 🤣
*king of morons Just a quick fix for you.
Always kind of a moron. Yes indeed. It’s funny and sad all at once.
Kind of a moron?
I like Jon Cryer. He seems like a decent guy. Now. Why on Earth is he (or anyone else) still trying to pretend these people were duped like it's still 2017? Trump was president for FOUR YEARS. HE IS KNOWN.
Being sued as a racist slumlord c*nt in the 70s wasn't enough, I guess 🤷♀️ I grew up in the middle of nowhere and knew about this guy. Wtf?
It’s worse than I imagined.
His dad knew he was good at schmoozing, so made him into the monster bullshitter he is today, but without a lick of business acumen.
At some point you have to cut your losses. Those people believe what they do because their hearts were always open to racism. They're moral lepers and need to keep to themselves.
Curious how they feel about him now.
They should be able to listen to him speak and realize Donald is a bit of a moron. If they can't see that, they're not so bright themselves.
Correct. He is a moron.... but a deeply corrupt one... and that has made him rich. Because smart, corrupt people saw him as the perfect tool to attract the masses.
They somehow were adopted as the religious party. Once again very smart.
Exactly!!
“Kind of a moron”
And now we have an entire fake made for tv government and military.
I don’t feel for them but he is right about the entertainment industry
Fact
He may not be able to run an economy but he sure can host a dinner. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/t...
Kind of a moron is an understatement.
Aww come on. The love the cruelty.
I disagree "kind of a moron" HE IS A MORON!
Trump, a moron? How could we have known... - divorces / infidelity in headline news - bankruptcies in headline news - chump on a reality TV show - 100's of contractors never paid - 100's of millions in penalties and fees for sexual assault & fraud Crazy how so many didn't know.
I don't feel shit for my maga family. Hope they go homeless. Fuck them.
“He was always kind of a moron….” The entertainment industry can also be too kind. More like “He was always a raging moron. …” would be appropriate.
He was never a successful businessman. He just played one on a TV game show.
"He was always kind of a moron."
Mark Burnett has never been properly held to account for his role in creating Trump via the Apprentice.
Trump has always been a loser! I remember listening to his dumbass words on Oprah! I thought he might be retarded.
Donnie has always been a gavone. Bad taste, bad manners, bad background...
A Tsar is Born
On Point!
New Yorkers knew. No one would listen.
Trump is all bravado. Fake confidence. A paper tiger if people would actually stand up him. Pelosi did a great job the first term. We need dem leader to get pissed off.
I never understood how people believed he was some business genius when his show came out. He'd walk in pouting his lips to try and look like he was a serious person. Then he'd make decisions in the most idiotic and shallow manner. I knew people who believed the hype but it surprised me they did.
The show itself seemed like such a farce to me though I didn't watch a whole lot of it.
Years, decades ago I did a lot of work in Manhattan and he was a joke, but the rest of the country didn't know it
