Clay later explained in a video to TMZ, that he smashed the star over the president’s immigration stance.

“I just felt really passionate because of what happened with the immigrants and him [Trump] stripping children away from their parents,” Clay said after being released from jail. “And that just sort of set me off.”

“I think Donald Trump represents everything that everybody with half a brain and half a heart in this country resents,” he added.

Later, he explained that he didn’t “resent doing it” and has even got some backing from celebrities like Robert De Niro and Chelsea Handler who praised him.

“Robert De Niro left me a voice message,” Clay shared. “He wanted to say…he wanted to give me a high-five. Chelsea Handler (who wanted to know if he was single), Mark Hamill.”

“I think I did, like, a real good act,” he added. “Personally, I don’t feel resentful. I feel proud of myself.”

If found guilty, he could face a maximum of three years in jail for the crime.
