Susan Sarandon thinks that Donald Trump is like “your drunk uncle at a wedding.”

“He reminds me of your drunk uncle at a wedding, who gets up and starts talking and just loves the crowd,” the Oscar-winning actress said. “He’s like a figure from a Kurt Vonnegut novel … I can’t even address him seriously. I mean, he doesn’t even have a consistency or any kind of rational anything.”


The actress was speaking to the online network The Young Turks after she appeared at a Bernie Sanders rally in Mason City, Iowa, on Wednesday. Sarandon has also volunteered for the Vermont senator’s campaign.

“What concerns me is not him," Sarandon said of Trump. "What concerns me is that he has made hatred and racism normal. He’s normalized it. He’s taking this, you know, undercurrent of discontent that’s looking to blame somebody and he’s legitimized those feelings and that, I think, is a very dangerous thing,” she said.

Sarandon also pointed to the worry in GOP establishment circles that the businessman has hijacked the party.

“I cannot believe for a second that America would actually make Donald Trump the president. Republicans are not all bad, they’re not all crazy, they’re not all greedy,” she said. “I think there’s some very sane Republicans and they must be so embarrassed by what’s going on right now.”

Sarandon has long been active in left-leaning politics, supporting Ralph Nader in 2000 and John Edwards in 2008. “I think Jesus would be very supportive of John Edwards,” she said in a 2007 interview.
