Actor Josh Brolin called President Donald Trump “brilliant” in the sale during an interview on Saturday, as he pushed back on the script that the President will stay in office after his name is close.
“I’m not afraid of Trump, because even though he says he lives forever, it just won’t happen. And if it happens, then I’ll be Trump’s friend before I’m president.
Brolin told the outlet that he got to know the President as a businessman after meeting Trump following his appearance on “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.” Money never sleeps. He said he was interested in Trump building a hotel “downtown Cesspool in the late seventies.” He added, “Now it’s a powerful force, it’s not controlled.”

“There’s no greater marketing genius than him — he takes the weakness of the general population and fills it. And that’s why I think there’s so much about his mascot and their need for validation,” Brolin said.

Brolin was critical of Trump’s bid for the Presidency in 2020, rejecting it in an Instagram post.
“I refuse to believe that Donald Trump is our basic version of American Masculinity,” Brolin wrote at the time. “America that was great was never based on creating hatred and conspiring to win. Donald Trump lied.”
Brolin also spoke to the guest about playing MONSINCOR Wick in the new movie, “Raise a dead man: knives don’t solve the mystery.”

The movie is the third in the “Knives Out” series and stars brolin and Daniel Craig, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner and Kerry Washington.
Brolin told the outlet that his character was not based on the President.
He said: “I would say that it focused on Trumician’s kind of greed,” he said. “Wick slows down the feeling of power, then there are no limits.”
