Bryan Cranston Labels Donald Trump ‘Dangerous’ and Doubts His Intelligence

Actor Bryan Cranston spoke out against President Donald Trump during an interview on BBC Radio 5, describing him as “dangerous” and questioning his intelligence.

Cranston said, “I think he is dangerous and quite frankly I don’t think he’s that smart. I really don’t. I think he knows how to sell himself. And that’s because of his narcissism. He cannot allow himself not to be seen as a winner.”

This isn’t the first time the “Breaking Bad” star has openly criticized Trump. Cranston previously endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket at a campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona, which focused on abortion rights. Speaking as a father, he highlighted the importance of reproductive choice for his daughter and for all women.

Cranston has also shared his views on Trump during previous elections. In 2016, he said he would consider moving if Trump won the presidency. He told The Bestseller Experiment podcast, “I would definitely move. … It’s not real to me that that would happen. I hope to God it won’t.”

The actor has even compared Trump to a Shakespearean character, noting the difficulty of understanding or portraying him. “It’s hard for me to imagine trying to justify what this man has said and done,” Cranston told USA Today. “So, I don’t know if it’s actually possible for me to play the character, but it would be a challenge.”
