Even if I was a garbageman, I will never stop calling out Trump – Samuel L. Jackson

Legendary award-winning actor Samuel L. Jackson has never shied away from calling out Donald Trump for some of his questionable policies and actions and it looks like he has no plans of stopping – even if some of his fans may not be too happy with that.

In a very interesting interview with Esquire, the Avengers actor was asked about his no holds barred approach when it came to criticizing the U.S. President and as expected, his reply came with the usual trademark expletives.

“I think we feel the same way that all of the m*therf*ckers that hated Obama felt for eight years. So they said all that sh*t. They put f*cking pictures up on the Internet of Michelle sitting with her legs crossed with a d*ck hanging down. We feel the same way that they feel or they felt about Obama being the man, even though he wasn’t f*cking ruining their lives; he was trying to help their lives,” he stated.

“This m*therf*cker is like ruining the planet and all kinds of other crazy sh*t. And the people think that’s okay. It’s not f*cking okay. And if you’re not saying anything, then you’re complicit.

“And I wouldn’t give a f*ck if I was a garbageman and I had a Twitter account; I’d tweet that sh*t out. I’m not thinking about who I am and what my job is when I do that sh*t.”

Asked if he was concerned about his criticisms of Trump getting on the wrong side of his fans, 70-year-old Jackson said he has nothing to lose.

“I know how many m*therf*ckers hate me. “I’m never going to see a Sam Jackson movie again.” F*ck I care? If you never went to another movie I did in my life, I’m not going to lose any money. I already cashed that check. F*ck you. Burn up my videotapes. I don’t give a f*ck,” he said.

“You’re an actor. Stick to acting.” “No, m*therfucker. I’m a human being that feels a certain way.

“And some of this sh*t does affect me, because if we don’t have health care, sh*t, and my relatives get sick, they’re going to call my rich ass. I want them to have health care. I want them to be able to take care of themselves. This is how I feel. And I count to one hundred some days before I hit “send,” because I know how that sh*t is.”
