That website sucks. BTW Anthony Hopkins isn't American, he is Welsh. He said in an interview in 2018 that he doesn't care for Trump. Hopkins also stated that he doesn't vote.

I always assumed he was ~~British~~ English. TIL. He has American citizenship though, so he has the ability to vote in US elections, he just doesn't care to.
Wales is part of Britian. That would be like saying "Oh, he's a New Yorker? I thought he was American".
Don't most people from Wales consider themselves Welsh rather than British? Or is that just how Scotland and Ireland are?
They're not English, but they're British.
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification!
Ah, yeah, I always get the terms mixed up since there's like three or four terms used to refer to the collective British Isles. I meant to say English.
Sorta different, but more "Oh he's Texan? I thought he was American" because Texans don't want to be American.
You should say that about Americans; people still say the state for EU states
First of all: lmao
Second of all: I'd bet Lecter would 100% murder him if they ever met purely because Trump is just fucking insufferable and the character was known for killing rude people.
He sure wouldn't eat him though.
Have we ruled out Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?
Clearly dementia from untreated syphilis of the brain.
I guarantee his demented old-ass was flipping through cable channels and happened to see Silence of The Lambs on TV before his speech.
Anthony Hopkins has publicly stated that he doesn’t care much for trump I believe. So… add this to his heap of lies.
I don't imagine Mads Mikkelsen supporting him either...
Up next: Author Thomas Harris tells dumbass that Hannibal wouldn’t eat shit, so no. No likey.
Hannibal prefers less artificial additives in his food.
I mean, he's right, Hannibal Lecter would probably love him.
Or, at least, his cellulite.
I'd imagine not. The meat would be poorly marbled as evidenced by the man being about as sedentary as possible. Furthermore, based on my very limited knowledge of his diet, that lack of nutrition will only pass along.
God here come the "Trump said thing" headlines.
This and the "is upset about X"... Like if I care about anything else than getting this MF to pay for his crimes.
Hearing the quote; this is nonsense
He says the movie, uses the character name, and then says actor
The article does point out the actor never said that but he‘a not confusing the character for a real person
Hearing the quote; this is nonsense
No it's not. The headline is entirely accurate. It does not claim that he confused the character for a real person anywhere, did you actually read the article? It only reports that Trump cited a fictional character, which is 100% true. And it acknowledges that he was likely referring to one of the actors who has portrayed Hannibal Lecter on film. There's nothing nonsensical or unreasonable about the reporting in this article. Nobody in their right mind goes around referring to Iron Man or Marty McFly as their favorite actors, now do they?
I hate Trump, but you're right. He simply confused the actor's name with the character he was playing.
Having said that... you said it yourself: the actor never said that, so..... he's a lying piece of shit, as usual.
Who else, the jigsaw? Freddy Krueger?
Hitler. That's no joke, actually.
This utter fuckhead is Bibi Netanyahu's current best friend.
Obviously it's not The Onion. It's way too weird for that.
Well, he must taste like a cheeseburger. He eats one every day doesn't he? Imagine eating a person and every bite tastes like a cheeseburger. If people tasted delicious like a cheeseburger, I'd totally hop on board the Hannibal train. I could put up with bringing my jar of pickles, my chopped onions, and other condiments to the love fest.
Yeah that sounds like something his demented ass would say.
Trump living rent free in liberal heads
There are two major wars and a climate crisis getting out of control, and you report on this?
It's /c/nottheonion. The silliness of the article is implies.
Living rent free in empty, leftists heads
