Jeff Daniels tears into Trump: US has ‘lost respect, decency, civilized behavior’

Actor Jeff Daniels blasted President Trump on Thursday, telling Stephen Colbert in an appearance on “The Late Show” the president is “the opposite” of what America needs.

“We lost, as a country. We lost respect, decency, civilized behavior, integrity, class, accountability, responsibility,” Daniels said. “He’s got none of that shit.”

Daniels, who is starring in “The Looming Tower,” an upcoming Hulu dramatization of the events leading up to 9/11, says he can’t wait for Trump to leave office.

“Get him out of here, throw him in the back of the truck and take him away,” he added.

Daniels said that officials in the FBI and CIA, as well as members of Congress who are willing to challenge Trump, are “true patriots” who give him “hope.”

He also called on GOP congressional leaders to “step up” and put the country before the Republican Party.

“How long can you sit on the Titanic when you can see the iceberg coming?” he said. “This is the country we’re talking about, not your party. And if your party has to go down, then that’s what has to happen.”
