'Can I Use Any Profanity?': Morgan Freeman Rips Trump And His Immigration Policies

The Oscar-winning actor unleashed on the president during an appearance on MS NOW to promote his new series.
Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman on Thursday unleashed on President Donald Trump during a no-holds-barred appearance on MS NOW, but only after graciously asking “Last Word” host Lawrence O’Donnell if he could “use profanity” to do so.
Freeman last appeared on the program in 2020 following the death of civil rights activist John Lewis and read his final essay on the show. O’Donnell on Thursday noted just how different the world is now and asked Freeman if he had any thoughts on the matter.
“Can I use any profanity?” Freeman asked.
He continued, “Well, we have somebody sitting in the White House who’s leading us down a shithole. I can’t personally understand how a convicted felon, convicted, [with] 34 felon — felonious, is that the word? — counts of wrongdoing gets to be president.”
Freeman was referring to the 2024 hush money trial in New York that saw Trump found guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business documents to cover up an alleged sexual encounter with porn actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
